Screenshot of an App Store Review with a rating of 5 stars, saying: Mal wieder eine dieser seltenen Sternstunden gelungener Rätselspiel-Entwicklungen, Es ist leider selten genug, dass man, vollständig blind wie ich selbst, über eine Neuerscheinung im Bereich Rätselspiele als App wirklich frohlocken kann. Ganz sicher aber gehört „Art of Fauna“ zu diesen Raritäten. Völlig unaufgeregt wird der Spielende über die Fakten etlicher Vertreter der Tierwelt unseres Planeten informiert, und das alles wunderbar durch VoiceOver unterstützt. Herr Strasser, da ist Ihnen wirklich ein Meisterstück gelungen! Vielen, vielen Dank!. Written by MartinAusFfM
