Community Insight:
Now we know so many of Stephen Allens fans hate this game but its ok (pls make it so that 1 energy lasts 10 steps ok) also make spinosaurus and T. Rex online.
This game is so cool we love it so much whoever created this this is a great game its just a little weird that you can still animal spiritsThis game is great keep up the good work.
Ok how to move tap any blue thing comment 2 yes danload game 3 its fun its just hard for other players ok its fun and its ok just danload now and also swipe right to go left for animal swipe left to go right kinda confusing right its ok.
The game ruined our mind we are so crazy about the game but we'll it won't let u choose ur spirit animal it's so annoying! We do kinda recommend this game.
We recently decided to redownload this game to kill time. Again it was actually really fun and enjoyable until we collected all the animals, but it definitely helped that we could walk infinitely! We hope there is a season two of animals, like: Tigers, cats, doe, horse, new dogs, other dinosaurs, llamas, kangaroos, a (better looking) wolf (pleassse), different variations of existing animals, etc, and maybe a male/female gender system. Possible quality of life updates: search, sort, and filter function on animal screen (so we dont have to scroll through), better combat system (sometimes when we try to touch an animal to fight it we end up moving to it which blocks the animal or wastes spirit energy) Again, hoping for some kind of multiplayer where we have the option of seeing other nearby players on the map (this can be disabled for younger players), and a friend system, this would lead to all kinds of possibilities for the game (battles, real time PvP, etc). And possibly a vertical phone screen layout. Im glad to see youre still putting attention to this game and hope you keep updating it in the future! Old: Good but gets redundant after collecting most animals! We did enjoy the game while hunting for them though. Maybe in the future… Add different skins (and genders?) for animals…so even if we do catch multiple of the same species we can customize them. A vertical phone screen mode Small issue that really bugs us – please use a better wolf model… More features like multiplayer(?) so you can play with others. Itd be cool to see specializations (etc. Water animals like hippos, crocs, etc appear only by rivers/ lakes and water) we love the hourly events Other than that its a good game, just needs updating! Otherwise it is enjoyable.
We want ragdoll!!! Their fun! Their funny!:l. Also add a octopus l:(.
Every ten seconds it says we need to get like our spirit up or something. Like after we just drank from the pool thing Ill take two steps and not have enough time to get to another one. So we continue to have to watch adds. Its really confusing why its doing this. Help? Other then that we like the pet you first get you have some choices but we think it would be a lot Cooler if you got an animal based on personality.
We just got the game and we think the movement gameplay is.. Strange. Its irritating the amount of ads you have to watch just to walk through the map and the spread of the lil energy pond things is quite absurd youll have one area packed with several and then other areas with not a single one in site. Theres also only like twelve different animals. We literally just filled our herd with dragons by the way the dmg across animals is interesting. When we had a bear it did more dmg then a dragon, isnt that bizarre? Quality. We understand that this game might not be too official and for children but it just seems that it didnt have much effort put in. The map design is frustrating. Apparently you cant walk on the ledge things unless you press the snow in front of it and cant move if you press the ledge. Speaking of snow, why? Why are there crocodile, gazelles, lions, etc warm environment animals in a snowy environment?? Is there a way of changing the map? Our conclusion, this game could be something good but honestly not worth the download. Thank you for reading! ^^.
We mean it was good and all but it got really boring after 2 minutes not much fun we thought it would be like the book.
The game is unresponsive, its slow, and the neon font is absolutely awful. Theres not much to do and there are SO MANY THINGS on the screen. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Its terrible the energy pools are dumb and you should be able to choose wether your a real animal or spirit and its so hard to actually get them since you have to throw the ball we recommend NOT getting the game it might be better if you make changes.
Our spirit animals a chicken how rude.
We mean, we want to be a tiger but do u have to capture their spirits, if so, Ill try.
We love this game and we got the for first try, thanks.
Our review is we havent played yet but every game you have made Ive played it and think its great….(we realy hope u respond that would be awesome).
So we very close to animal and when Im trying to catch it its very far away? We dont get that when your that close to the thing but then its far away. Are you guys trying to be mean. Now our suggestions you can add more animals like ligers an actual good wolf instead of the fat one tiger and more other big cats we guess.
When we tried to move we wold not let us so we dubbedl taped and we still cold not moveso we deleted the game and still couldnt move Ive tried so hard and still couldnt you need to fix this because we like playing as our spirit animals but not when we cant moveso plz fix this because we will wont to play agen. Also it wont let us jest pick our animal it makes us role only 3 times not fair so plz fix this game.
This game IS good, but where the heck do you find the rare dragons and animals?! Creator of the game please tell us that. Also can you make there be something where the spirit CANT ESCAPE!? We only have like 49 animals or so, AND we WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!! Do what we suggested to do. Write back VERY SOON.
It is a great game but……we do not like that the animals souls escape. Otherwise its great.
We put this thing in 30th September 2019 btw but fun to bad. We got an animal then we walked around Ik this is just like Pokmon but the character is walking not u. It says water is the animals energy but please add more watering holes cuz we fought an animal and defeated it but we cant walk. Tired so hard but nothing we say this game is broken. Sorry Im saying this :(.
We mean make it so you dont have spirit power! It makes no sense we mean in the pictures it looks good but we deleted this game after five minutes.
Look, we got this game because it looked amazing and it does buuuut sadly we cant move when we click in the radar it does the little red circle bus thing, the only way we can move is if we click right and we mean RIGHT next to our character, the reason thats a problem is because we cant make it to any water by the time we run out of spirit, Id love this game if we could move.
Ok we read the hole series we liked them but this was bad an we Know bad. This game was so horrid we believe our eyes are bleeding.
We dont think people should play this because for the introduction you walk on the street then and when you tap on the place you what to go it doesnt even work! This game was so bad it even picks your character and to get more chances you have to watch a add?!? This game doesnt make seance as we thought it would be good.
The game is fun for a little while, until you start to collect most of the animals. We enjoyed it for maybe 4-7 hours of playing ( not in a row! ) and got bored. Suggestions : we dont know if its already multiplayer, but please add it if not and add chatting. | Add a free-roam option where you can just select an animal and walk around. || Suggestions for OTHER games : Make a canine online, kinda like dragons online, raptor RPG, and hill cliff horse. You can choose, name, and customize dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, etc. || Add friendlists And friend requests to dragons online, hill cliff horse, raptors online, and raptor RPG! || Fix the math system in hill cliff horse where you enter your age at the beginning and itll determine if you need math or not. Math being 12 and under, and you dont need the math for 13+.
Looks great and all, we love the idea but we hate hate HATE how the game chooses an animal for you! Thats just so unfair! We can barely see all the options it goes by so fast! This is the only reason we give 2 stars. If this is re-thought we will give this game an instant 5 stars, erase this part of the review and make a new one that explains the upper most points we have about this game, the point of a spirit animal is what the person chooses it to be, what they feel like the most. And there is no way a phone could ever guess that! Please, make it so we can actually choose our animals! Please.
We mean come banned from all the creators games if you break the rules thats crazy!! So if your new and dont know what to do and you break the rules banned a little harshwell a lot harsh.
