More about this game
Step into a field lab to identify rare rainforest canopy birds. Your goal is to successfully log three different specimens by analyzing their diagnostic traits. Observe each bird's beak, feet, feathers, and flight patterns. The game uses a dichotomous key system where every question gives you two paths. Make the correct choices based on the creature's stats to complete your canopy research mission.
Tips
- Pay close attention to the creature stats panel before answering, as it holds vital clues about the bird's traits.
- Focus on one specific trait at a time, such as the beak shape or feather color, to narrow down choices.
- Remember that every question only has two paths, so use a process of elimination if you are unsure.
