Fossil Corner

Fun little game. I enjoy collecting cool looking fossils.

A simple and delightful game about collecting fossils (right up my alley from the start). The puzzles were engaging, I loved displaying my fossils, and the small extra challenges and light narrative gave you plenty to do throughout most of the game. Really zen and relaxing.

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!

I actually really love this game. I played it, forgot about it, came back to it, remembered how to play it again, and also found a super helpful group of people in the Guides and Discussion. I actually really enjoyed separately breeding lvl 8 / mineralised of every group without help, and it became my favourite thing to do. Some of the designs of the shells are truly beautiful, and you end up very beautiful fossils and shells in a simple, visually pleasing game. There's some small UI things, but compared to some of the much larger, well-funded games I've played lately that have been clunky or broken, this let me play comfortably right through to the end! This would be fun to play from scratch again, and I really appreciate the hints in the puzzles. This is an unpolished diamond in the rough, it's a shame I can't make those shells real! :D

Super fun. Sorting!

This is a great little game! It's 85% the fossil genetics puzzle, 10% fossil combining, and 5% decorating. I love the fossil puzzle and trying to get certain traits for the online requests. It's a wonderful, unique, cute little game!

The perfect game: pleasant puzzles, fabulous fossils, and a neat little story told by one side of an email chain. A fairly "short" game but absolutely excellent and exactly what it should be!
