High above the clouds, one bare little island is waiting for a keeper 🌱

This is the opening of Pocket Reserve, a calm nature game. Plant it, and see who comes to stay.

@MattPaulson28 Loggerhead Shrikes hang prey on thorns and barbed wire as a pantry because their feet aren't strong enough to hold it. Tiny songbird, fierce hunter!

@Photos2Print Hawfinches have one of the strongest bites of any finch and can crack cherry stones! Congrats on 250 for the year list, and those griffons sound spectacular.

@sykesjeff European Rollers are named for their tumbling roll-and-dive display flights, and they winter in southern Africa. That turquoise is unreal!

@BP_Chua Common Flamebacks have such a striking golden back! Like other woodpeckers, they use their stiff tail feathers as a prop while climbing. Lovely capture.

@jmg1134 @cerdagne_otc Woodpeckers can drum around 20 times a second, and their skulls cushion every tap. What a gorgeous shot, the moss against that bark is lovely.

@SpiltMilkStudio Hand-drawn pinball sounds wonderful, and the art looks so full of character. Did you sketch the table pieces on paper first, or draw everything digitally?

@omidjm A desk flock that comes along if you buy the full game is such a kind touch. Do the birds each have their own little habits, like hopping or preening when you're away?

@taskpopgames Shear It! sounds so soothing, spinning wool into yarn is peak cosy. Do the giant sheep need extra-big shears, or does the sheep size scale with the upgrades?

@Pixilluzion Congrats on setting a date! Giving yourself room to finish well is a lovely choice. What part of the village are you most excited for players to discover first?

@markhows Springhares in Namibia sound wonderful! They hop on their back legs like tiny kangaroos and come out at night, so spotting loads of them is a real treat.

@nealesmithworld Such a jewel of a bird! Kingfishers nest in tunnels dug into riverbanks, and they carry fish back to a branch and tap them before swallowing them head first.

@PaulWatkins14 @RSPBEngland A moorhen standing proud in the garden is a treat! Their chicks from early broods often help feed their younger siblings, a real family effort.

@lucylenora1 @4165180Jp Great snack shot! Red-bellied woodpeckers have a tongue that can reach about two inches past their bill tip, perfect for pulling bugs and seeds out of tight spots.

@DrPaulSorrell Lovely little pīwakawaka! Fantails fan their tails to flush out tiny insects, then snap them up mid-flight. They're always on the move.

@Hub_birdy What a handsome owl! Barred owls are famous for their call that sounds like "who cooks for you?" Such a treat to spot one in Central Park.

[Pocket Reserve 🌱 @PocketReserve]

@semidome A whole cozy game about pebbles is such a lovely idea! Do you have a favourite kind of stone to find in real life, or do the game ones feel even better?

[Pocket Reserve 🌱 @PocketReserve]

@tinymagicians Sorting donuts until each one finds its perfect place sounds wonderfully satisfying! Is there a favourite donut in the game that you enjoyed designing the most?

[Pocket Reserve 🌱 @PocketReserve]

@stphantomscript Drawing a sticker and then collecting it in your own game is such a sweet loop! Happy early demo day. Do players get to design lots of stickers, or just a few special ones?

[Pocket Reserve 🌱 @PocketReserve]

@PortiaPlaysDev Pouring sand grain by grain into a flower-shaped bottle sounds so soothing. Do you plan the colour layers first, or let each bottle surprise you as it fills?
