Randomly generated fossil deduction puzzle piecing together the genealogy of shells, crinoids, and trilobites. Each type of fossil has different traits to keep things fresh. Trilobites for example can evolve to be bigger or smaller, add or remove lobes on their bodies, change their eye stalks, and more. Pleasant little experience
growing up, i wanted to be a paleontologist so i'm thankful for fossil corner as it reflects on a part of the job that isn't the main focus when you imagine the job description (i mean, you would always link it to digging up fossils in a hot sandy desert) which is building a family tree from a range of fossils consisting of shells, crinoids (mushrooms) and trilobites (insects). one of the cons from this game is because of its RNG, i accumulated way too much money to not spend on anything when i've maxed out the space and purchased the genome app plus fossil combiner. it would've saved some time and effort if we could use the money to complete some quite impossible requests on the fossil finder app (i'm looking at feathered and weeny arms crinoid...). each refresh quest wait time is 10 minutes and within that time range, i accumulated too many 1 and 2 star fossils which clogs up space. also, since the stash area is only accessible through the desktop, i'm unable to remember a fossil i need located there when i want to complete a quest. the more you play, the quests seem to focus on mineralized fossils which are rare and the requests become too specific like wanting an opalized ribbed shell but you own an agatized ribbed shell instead >︿< all in all, i recommend it to players who share the same paleontologist dream, who loves collecting and displaying fossils or those who just wants luck based games to fill up their time O(∩_∩)O

well worth the price, in my opinion! it's got me hooked already. i do wish there were more fossils and decor to play around with, but maybe the game will get an update in the future? i sure hope so! i can definitely see myself coming back to play this over and over. i'm already familiar with the developers other, similar game on itch.io called 'plant daddy'. i had a lot of fun playing around with that one when it first came out. overall, the puzzles are fun, the music is charming (had to check if this dev worked on stardew bc some of the music is astoundingly similar) and the graphics are cute and simple. again, desperately hoping this has some content updates in the future!
very fun game, found myself drawn in by the theme of fossils and sticking around because of the gameplay.
(Please disregard playtime. I had to leave the game running a few minutes to be able to leave a review, but I played the itch.io version of the game.) This is the perfect cosy rainy Saturday game. It's calm and relaxing, never rushes you and never gets too complicated. The soundtrack is beautiful as well, and the e-mails you get from your family and acquaintances add a bit of warmth and humour without distracting from the main part of the game, the puzzles. I don't know how many hours I've played so far, but I am regularly finding very pretty 3 and 4 star fossils now and I have a very nice collection already :) There are some requests in the Finders app that I still can't hope to fulfill, though, and more than half of the unlockables are still waiting for me, as well. I don't think I'm close to done with this game. Highly recommend ♥️
relaxing thinky fun with funny writing and cute shells
Quaint Bit shallow
Super cozy logic puzzles game! When I was doing my bio degree in college, I used to haaaate doing phylogenetic trees for classes, but this game simplifies it a bit and makes it fun!
Not for me.
this game was so cute and I loved finding the unique and mineralized or opalized fossils. There were a few tricky parts for me but overall it was still very fun and relaxing to play.
