Penko Park is a creepy however cute journey recreation wherein you journey via wildlife on a safari. Your journey information, Penki, will clarify to you the principles of this recreation, that are quite simple. Your fundamental purpose is to snap photos of the wildlife you discover in your safari, and study extra about them. You can even earn upgrades which let you work together with the park in new methods, in addition to go to new areas.
Whenever you first begin the sport, Penki explains to you ways the park is deserted. Whereas there isn’t a main story to the sport, he’ll give extra particulars on that as the sport progresses. Penko Park is stuffed with bizarre creatures, all totally different in appears to be like and persona. Some can fly, others can swim, however most simply sit or stand round. Although the sport has a creepy kind of type to it, the creatures are literally very endearing and cute. None of them bounce out at you or attempt to scare you, and so they give off a really comforting vibe, kind of just like the animals in actual life safari rides, who look unbothered.
Taking photos of the creatures is straightforward, although there are some which can be harder to seize than others. Whenever you take an image, it seems on a scale of 1 to 3 stars. Clearly, you wish to get three stars. To do that you wish to guarantee that the creature is totally within the image, the digital camera is zoomed in sufficient to see element, and there’s nothing blocking the creature. Once more, that is straightforward to do when a creature is in an open space whereas sitting nonetheless or sleeping, however as you progress within the recreation it does get a bit more difficult.
All the images you are taking are added to your scrapbook, the place you might be proven their names. It’s vital to get three star photos since you are given extra expertise which finally leads you to gaining medals. Medals are added to your scrapbook and unlock upgrades corresponding to with the ability to select new instructions and locations to show, in addition to a grappling hook to gather vegetation or different belongings you come throughout. You may discover the park a number of instances, and when you have a restrict of what number of photos you possibly can take per run, you might be at all times given extra the subsequent time to undergo the safari. One aspect I appreciated concerning the recreation is that it is advisable take photos of the creatures in a number of conditions, corresponding to taking an image whereas one is awake, but in addition taking one whereas it’s sleeping.
The visuals of this recreation are completely superb. It has an illustration-style to it, which makes it really feel much more comforting in a approach. Although the creatures could seem bizarre and creepy, the best way they’re drawn, particularly their faces, and the best way they transfer round make them appear completely innocent and cute. The environments wherein they reside are additionally lovely, making the sport pleasing as there’s rather a lot to take a look at. Every creature matches its atmosphere very effectively, which makes it very clear the creators put loads of thought and energy into the sport.
The controls are fairly primary and simple to know. You might be given a fast tutorial each time you study a brand new ability, and you may even return to your scrapbook and study once more if you happen to overlook.
Penko Park isn’t very lengthy, perhaps just some hours. However if you wish to full your complete recreation—corresponding to getting a 3 star image for each creature, and accumulating all of the vegetation and artifacts (which is one other a part of the sport I appreciated, because it added extra to do and discover)—it’ll take longer.
Penko Park does a extremely good job at combining creepy with cute, and permitting itself to be actually stress-free whereas additionally difficult. It’s the kind of recreation that’s straightforward to choose up and go the time, in addition to one you will get misplaced in. Its graphics are actually cool, and I bumped into no issues with glitches or any of the animations wanting off. Although there’s a transparent and easy purpose to the sport, there’s additionally extra to do than simply that. Additionally, Penki the journey information is tremendous candy, which additionally provides to the general theme of the sport—that not all that appears scary or bizarre is unhealthy.
