Looking for a game where you can capture a cute Goth Bunny with bacon grown on a bush? Or build a nice Eggloo for your Geckos? We thought so and you’re in luck. A new game published by 6waves,
Animal Party, allows you to do just that and more. While Animal Party has a lot of features similar to other social games like farming and collecting pet animals, it has incredibly adorable art work and a lot of features that you can jump right into.
In Animal Party, you must recover your animal friends who have fled your party planet after it’s been party crashed by the evil Lord Wedgy. You must visit various planets and use a wide assortment of bait to lure them onto your space ship to get them home to Paradiso, you personal planet. Rescued animals may stay in your garden in Paradiso for some time before being released back into the wild on their home planet. Those who stay need to be provided appropriate housing, entertainment, food, and of course, LOVE from you as their caretaker.
The first of two major components to Animal Party is your garden. You must turn your garden into an inviting and comfortable place for your animal guests. Different animal species require specific housing, such as a Fox Hole or a Bearstump Cave. They also need to be provided with toys to entertain themselves with, such as pinball machines, balloons and sand boxes. You also need to root out bothersome pests such as Evil Weevils who terrorise your fun loving animals. Improving and expanding your garden allows you to house and attract more exotic animals that you capture to stay in your garden. Decorations, such as fireflower vases and moon palms, are also important to have to attract more animals to your garden. Interacting with your animals is also important. A nice feature allows you to have two of your animals engage each other in play. A la Farmville, you also can grow crops which come in a dizzying variety of types, such as meatballs, ice cream, carrots and even bacon. These are used as bait to attract other animals as you travel to other planets to rescue them.
According to Tommy Wu, CEO of Animal Party developer Tribal Crossing:
Sometimes the animals will surprise you with the interactions they have with each other. Look for us to further develop their personalities in future releases!
The second part of Animal Party is when you take your space ship to other planets in the galaxy to find lost animals of your planet. The larger your ship, the more animals you can take on. As mentioned before, you use different kinds of bait to attract animals. Bunnies are big fans of carrot cake. Hippos have a real sweet tooth for peach cobbler. You get bonuses for capturing animals that are of a bigger than normal size or collecting all types of a certain species. Some animals won’t take certain bait, so make sure bring the most appealing bait.
Similar to other social games, you rise in levels as you gain experience, which unlocks certain items. The standard two tier currency system is also used with Facebook Credits being the premium currency. Your energy bar is depleted as you perform actions. Unlike most other Facebook games, there is a way to purchase more energy without using Facebook credits. This is done by collecting and spending sunbeams with a local store owner, Mortimer.
The two things that really stand out for me in Animal Party is the great “look and feel” Tribal Crossing has created and the huge variety of things to do in the game right from the start. Usually, social games start simple then grow in complexity, but Animal Party gives you a lot to do right away. This can feel a little overwhelming at first, but regular play helps you to understand it all. Indeed, according to Wu, regular play has it’s benifits:
Players will meet a host of characters in Animal Party that need their help. While most of them seem like they have good intentions, all is not what it seems. As players continue to explore the world of Animal Party, they will uncover a deep story line.
I’m really impressed by the number of things there are to do in Animal Party. The animals are all incredibly cute and creative and the look of the game is a real feast for the eyes. If pet collecting and farming games are something you can’t get enough of, go ahead and join the
Animal Party!
