Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+
Ratings & Reviews
So far, I’ve only completed about 10 puzzles and I cannot tell you enough how much I am enjoying my game time. The music is absolutely wonderful, very calming, and I quite enjoy getting to discover what new animals I find as I complete each puzzle. It’s very rewarding to read the little blurb/description after completing each puzzle as it lets you know a bit about each animal that you found. Very wonderful and I highly recommend!
I really hope that the game makers see this. You guys - I am so taken by this game and the intentionality behind it. I have never played a game that is combining sustainability, education, honoring artists, and bringing attention to different species and challenges to their livelihoods. The puzzles are beautiful, but I am so thankful to the makers for thinking of how to invite a fun experience while also taking a stance. I don’t even know these people, and I am proud of them. Thank you for this!
Developer ResponseHelloooo! Klemens, the game maker here :) Thank you so much for these kind words. This review absolutely made my day 🫶
So I love this game so much but the only complaint is that I can’t find the puffin egg I searched EVERYWHERE from the settings to the puzzle categories even to the artist I couldn’t find it so if this is a bug or a glitch please fix this. Otherwise this is a really fun game 20 out of 10 the egg is a small nitpick I’m sorry if I was making it a big deal but this game is really fun. Please keep up the good work and good luck in the future 👍
It’s a nice time waster and great to learn something new about some animals. The merging of pieces needs work. You’ll piece together some correct parts and they disconnect at times to “fit” the other floating pieces on board so you have to redo, after some time doing these it gets aggravating. Also, nice addition would be to long press or double tap a cell (or group of cells already together) to anchor it on board as a focus spot if your trying to match to it doesn’t shift all around on you as you try to match up pieces.
I had previously left a 3 star review on this game, explaining how I had gotten stuck on a puzzle and could not use the menu. I am happy to report that, after the new update, I was able to complete the puzzle I was stuck on! I have also been told that a new update fixing the issue I am having with the menu is coming soon, which is very exciting.Honestly, I am often hesitant to reach out to app support, but this time I am SO glad that I did, as they were incredibly responsive and helpful—by far the best app support experience I have ever had. Overall, this game is amazing, and I’m so excited to continue playing :)
Developer ResponseHey,First of all, terribly sorry to read that! This should absolutely never ever happen. I know that there were situations where the puzzle can get stuck, but these should hopefully be resolved with version 1.0.1, which will be released very, very soon.But restarting a puzzle should definitely work right now, and I have never seen that the pause menu actually got stuck, which sounds awful! Could you please send me an email (support@strasser.app), so that I can try to get to the bottom of this issue?Thank you very much and sorry again!Klemens
I’ve only just started this game (as it’s just come out), but I am already blown away. It features authentic illustrations from the 18th and 19th century, educational descriptions, and a relaxing soundscape. It’s clear Strasser went to great lengths to make this game accessible for everyone; I highly recommend reading the article “How Klemens Strasser prioritized inclusivity with Art of Fauna” for a more in-depth description. Possibly my favorite thing about this game is that a portion of its proceeds go to real wildlife conservation organizations!! I cannot wait to see what else this game has to offer, couldn’t wait to leave a review.
I recently downloaded this game and I tend to get a lot of apps that claim to be calm, relaxing, and peaceful but this takes it to a whole new level. It has been so thoughtful produced you can tell the creator put a lot of heart and soul into this. I can’t wait to complete every level!! I love reading about the animals and the artist after I complete the puzzle. And I just love the art style of the entire app with the nature sounds which are definitely so much more enjoyable if you turn the haptic sounds off. Thank you for creating this :)
I’m so glad to have this available on Arcade! The real artwork, gorgeous creatures, and interesting factoids create a museum-like atmosphere, but the gameplay itself is also relaxing and rewarding! I love that you can adjust the difficulty to your taste. It makes this wonderful game accessible for all age groups and preferences. Would love to see an entire Audubon collection! Just like the animal kingdom, the game is ripe with endless possibilities for expansion and exploration. Thank you for this absolute gem!
Game is fun. Art is lovely. Problem - sometimes I know a piece fits but I have to try it many times and move pieces all over hoping nothing else pops in or the blank area rejects my piece the first time or 6th time I try to place it. It eventually is accepted so I know I have the correct piece when facing this difficulty.
Developer ResponseHi!Thanks for the kind words, and yeah, this is a really annoying problem. I’m trying to enhance the mechanic, though. So if you run into a very pesky situation, can you please send me a screen recording of it? That way I can try to reproduce and fix it!Cheers,Klemens
It’s fun and calm and the settings lets you create your own design. Also I see that the game has a difficulty setting. You can choose the difficulty level that is right for you. I love this so much so I am willing for you to make more puzzles. Love, Skylar
Developer ResponseThank you very much for your kind words, Skylar! Really appreciate it!As for more puzzles: I have 10 more planned for each October, November, and December (so a total of 30 puzzles!). If there is anything specific you would love to see in the future, please send me an email and I will see what I can do :)Chers,Klemens
