Hands-On With Bunny Collecting Sim ‘Usagi Shima’ – TouchArcade

Nicely, it occurs each Tokyo Sport Present. The present isn’t only for displaying upcoming video games, in spite of everything. Many builders and publishers have recently-released titles or lengthy runners that they need to showcase, and for indie builders specifically it may be an important likelihood to get some additional eyes in your mission or make some new connections. Usagi Shima (Free) isn’t an upcoming recreation, neither is it one ready within the wings for a Western localization. You possibly can play Usagi Shima proper now, as a result of it got here out round a month in the past. However it seemed so darned cute I simply needed to give it a few of my time anyway.

The developer of Usagi Shima, Pui Pui Yu, isn’t shy about her supply of inspiration. She’ll let you know proper up entrance that it’s an identical idea to Hit-Level’s Neko Atsume, and so it’s. If you happen to haven’t performed that recreation, it’s principally a cat collector. You set out toys and meals and attempt to lure cats to your yard. You possibly can then add them to a bit guide and take photos of them, and as they arrive again they’ll develop into extra pleasant to you and showcase new poses and such. There’s no actual finish purpose past maybe seeing all of the cats and reaching the very best affection stage with them, however even you then are likely to verify in simply to see which cats are round and what they’re doing.

Nicely, that’s the essential thought behind Usagi Shima as effectively. You’ve received bunnies as a substitute of cats, although. The artwork fashion seems to be fairly completely different, and so it ought to: all of it was completed by the developer herself over the course of three years. Simply as in Neko Atsume, there are particular bunnies and sure poses that may solely be seen by satisfying sure circumstances. I took a selected liking to Moose, a bunny with antlers. He’s fairly dope. The world the rabbits collect in is rather a lot bigger than the Neko Atsume yard, with much more factors of curiosity for them to work together with. You possibly can peek into any of the buildings as you wish to see what they’re as much as, which is one other cute mechanic separating this from its supply of inspiration.

Many of the goodies you’ll have to lure within the bunnies may be purchased with the 2 varieties of carrots you could have at your disposal. There are regular carrots that can be utilized for a wide selection of issues, however if you wish to get your arms on the actually neat stuff you’ll want the golden carrots. Golden carrots may be earned usually, however you most likely gained’t get them at a tempo which you could go on shopping for sprees. That’s the place the monetization is available in, as you should purchase golden carrots and subsequently get the cool toys extra often. However what are you in a rush for? Simply benefit from the bunnies. They’re tremendous cute.

I’m glad Usagi Shima was on the Tokyo Sport Present, as a result of truthfully talking its launch flew proper previous me. Second likelihood is uncommon within the recreation trade and even rarer specifically within the cellular finish of issues due to how briskly and livid releases come. I’ve since downloaded it and I’m actually having fun with chilling out with these rabbits a bit every day. If you happen to appreciated Neko Atsume and likewise like rabbits, go seize Usagi Shima. I feel you’ll get pleasure from it simply as a lot if no more than the sport that includes these clawed brokers of chaos. Inform Moose that Shaun despatched you.
