Fossil Corner

Really chill game with a neat logic component. On sale, it's a steal!

It's a great cozy little puzzle game with a nice amount of content. Who knew sorting shells could be so addictive.

oh look a fossil

I mean, it's like my regular life if I didn't get in trouble for having fossils lying all over the place! Love zoning out on this game with my cat in my lap. Appreciate that it doesn't use the keyboard much. The puzzles can get difficult at times, and I like the extras that come along with the emails, etc.

This is a really cozy puzzle game that any fossil enthusiast would love!! A lot of the sorting is exactly how it would be for a real paleontologist analyzing the progression of the fossils. I remember seeing a similar exhibition in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, so I got so excited seeing it as a game. I enjoy the rarity of the different fossils and how they are shiny. It works great on my iOS laptop without a mouse (only using the pad). No complaints as of yet! Been playing for 3 hours already!

Have you ever gone into a rock hound store? In Nederland Colorado there is one called "Natures Own" and they have a lot of gemstones, but I think they also have some fossils. Also up in Wyoming there are a lot of museums that have fossils you can buy. And the Natural History Museums - like there's one in Denver and one in New York City and one in Washington DC. Anyways... all those fossils didn't just appear out of nowhere - somebody was running around out in a field somewhere or in a river bed or other known places to look for fossils. I once dug for hours trying to find petrified botryoidal wood in the Blue Forest in Wyoming, but no luck. And now I won't go out in the sun because as you get older your skin doesn't recover as fast as when you're young, so skin cancer is almost unavoidable. Wear lots of sun screen, or better yet cover yourself with a mask and long sleeves. OR you can just play this game! This game sort of reminds me of the card-game "Set" - you're trying to find patterns of changes between strata that the fossils belong in. It's sort of an introduction to cladistics, only it's very casual and simplified. And there's a "help me!" button if you get stuck too. There are a lot of "flavor" emails and jobs and photography too, and some of them are pretty funny - especially if this is sort of your thing. Very nice game!
