Skill Rating: This game is enjoyed by 5-10 year-olds as it's a good match for their ability and maturity. Although very young players may struggle to find all the wildlife, with help from a sibling, parent or guardian they can enjoy exploring and meeting the people in the villiage. Really young players often find a controller rather than touch screen is easier (although again some help is needed).

It's a game designed to be suitable for new and beginner players, although there is some skill and deft timing required to get the photos of the birds and animals. When additional buttons are required to play the game they are displayed on the screen for you. You can get assistance and tips on what to do next by talking to the people on the island. The game alerts you to interactive events with visual, vibration and audio indications.

The text is displayed black on white background. The subtitles are quite a good size, but you can't make them larger. When played on smartphone with a Backbone (or similar) controller, or on the PlayStation, Xbox or Switch the display moves from portrait to landscape without significantly scaling the interface so the text is smaller. The mission objects and descriptions of animals are quite large on smartphone in portrait mode but again on consoles' landscape display, it is quite small.

The missions are clearly listed and you can always access a well-annotated map. There is no sonar-style directive audio ping, but you can listen to the sound of the animal you need to find and use that sound to home in on its location in the game world.

You can't remap buttons. On smartphone you can use the gyroscope to fine-tune your aiming of the camera.
