a genius flash in the pan 5 min wonder.
pretty much the first of it's kind, augmented reality using satellite nav is for me a total gamechanger.
However it's already starting to annoy the hell out of me with so many folk wondering around bumping into each other and ignoring good pedestrian manners.
It's flabbergasting the sheer amount of people I see doing it, I was sat having a coffee on a public green/throughway and literally 1 in 2 people were doing what looked like mobile orienteering!

Plenty of of nostalgia but I got bored quickly, it's also a good way to drain your phone battery!

A lot of people seem to be enjoying it so each to their own I guess.

Well my kids (both grown men, closet nerds) are playing it daily, and really enjoying it.

The key to longevity with this game will be how the developer grows the game. It needs a trading aspect, and a combat system, and more creatures to collect. The universe has to expand.

Otherwise, it'll fizzle out.

Its amazing how many mobile games aren't developed with longevity in mind. For example, I played Rodeo Stampeed for a week. I've collected all creatures, maxed my zoo, have accrued 500,000 points, and have nothing to spend them on. So that game is already dead to me. Great idea, pisspoor longevity design.
