This is no doubt, a fun and different kind of game. A fresh idea (yes, I know it's old, but it's new to me) that has a neat storyline and cute little characters and a deceptively simple mode of play. I say deceptively because there's a whole lot to learn, different colored little creatures and their attributes for one. Im no expert on genres, but this seems to be a real time strategy game, and if you screw up you have the do-over available. Lol. You're a spaceship pilot who crashes on a strange planet, and you befriend little creatures who, if you learn their abilities and how to manage them, will help you locate and aquire your spaceship parts. You have to find 30 in 30 days. Sounds simple, but it isn't really. It takes some planning and deciding what you need to do. This is a unique and fun game, but I admit, for all it's innovativeness and cuteness it still didn't keep my attention past a few days...
