Made a new App Preview for The Art of Fauna! 🦆

I love my the original trailer, but it was a bit hectic. Now, I try to go into the exact opposite direction, fully leaning into the #CozyVibes of this game!

Still a wild phenomenon in the Art of Fauna: People that don’t buy the full version, because it’s too expensive for them - but they still leave a 5 star review, compliment the game and say it’s worth the money! ❤️

#indiedev #TheArtOfFauna
5-star review titled “Great” and saying: Excellent and beautiful puzzle game based on the levels I have completed. Unfortunately I cannot afford to pay for the premium version, however if you can I’m sure it would be worth the price, as I understand it’s by a solo developer and a percentage of the money goes towards a wildlife conservation.

One of my favourite things every day is to look through all of your lovely Friends of Fauna submissions. 💚

Since I don't want to keep them just to myself, I'm now going to share my favourite submissions regularly. Enjoy the first batch!

I ❤️ New York (Public Library)

They have the real toys that inspired Winnie Pooh, an exhibition for 100 years of The New Yorker and a real copy of the Birds of America on display - one of the main inspirations for The Art of Fauna 🦆

But it is also a finalist for Social Impact. 💚
Two nominations, one win. I still can't believe this. What a year 🥹

Another very nice The Art of Fauna Review! 🥹

#TheArtOfFauna #indiedev
Screenshot of a 5 star review with the title “Wonderful and Relaxing Puzzle”. Text: An absolutely delightful little puzzle game with virtually no flaws. If you’re on the fence, give it a download - the first 10 puzzles are free and give you an idea of the gameplay loop. Things I love about this game: * beautiful fauna art * interesting lil animal blurbs * impeccable atmosphere and sound design * clean and intuitive UI * the knowledge that your money is going to an independent dev and nature preservation organizations (and a decent chunk to Apple but that’s non-negotiable 😢)
