I loved this game, though I will admit that it could benefit from some improvements. For starters, it's not really a "game," as there's no scoresheet and no ability to take your own actions. Instead, this is an interactive tutorial that guides you through preparing and dissecting insects to be stored in collections. To be fair, there were only three species available to dissect (true bug, ant and butterfly), and the experience is so fun that you'll want to keep dissecting more insects! You will learn how differently each species needs to be prepared (whether frozen, diluted in a solution, or simply dried), and how each tool is designed to minimize mistakes. However, you won't be able to make mistakes, the game does it all for you. I would love to see it transition into a game experience!
