Animal Genius

‘Animal Genius’ allows players to play 5 different types of games in order to
test their intelligence of the animal kingdom. The main objective of the game
is to collect a certain number of points to earn a total of 25 animals across
5 different locations around the world.

The games consist of the following:

Maze Munch: Control one of 4 different animals to complete a number of stages
using their special abilities (e.g.Press the A button to make a lion pounce in
order to catch zebras).

Scratch And See: Use the Nintendo DS stylus to scratch off part of a hidden
picture to reveal part of an animal photograph, then select the correct
answer.

Creature Collector: Tap the correct animals that belong to a certain group
(such as the animals that have fur, or the slowest animals).

Matchomatic: Use the stylus to flick the correct animal that matches part of
the close-up shown onscreen (e.g. Match the animals to their eyes).

When the games are answered successfully with time still running, a bonus
question will appear. Answering this question correctly adds additional bonus
points based on the remaining time.

When the player collects the correct number of points for each animal, he/she
must answer 10 questions about the animal in order to add it to the
corresponding location. Upon collecting the animal, players can tap it within
the environment to learn an interesting fact about it.

Occasionally, an ‘Animal Alert!’ moment occurs (only if the player unlocks
animals from 2 different areas) in which the player must travel to the
location indicated and tap on the animal that doesn’t belong to that
environment, in order to transfer it back to its respective area safely.
Players can’t earn more animals until this feat must be accomplished…

The game makes brilliant use of the Nintendo DS stylus with all 5 games
support.
