Snapcatch

Catch the instant, not the creature

A living glade, a tide pool, a stormy ridge, and Glims going about their business. You have a viewfinder and a shutter. Each Glim telegraphs a spectacular action with a peak frame only a few tenths of a second wide, and your job is simply to be looking at the right place at the right moment.

How to play

1Drag to pan the viewfinder; pinch or tap-hold to zoom.
2Watch for the telegraph, a closing ring means the peak is coming.
3Tap the shutter at the peak. Framing, timing, rarity and composition are all graded.

What's in it

Live grading on four axes, shown as you frame the shot
Peak frames a few tenths of a second wide, always readable in advance
Bullet-time on the peak instant as the shutter fires
Lures that provoke a specific behaviour so you can set a shot up
Composition bonuses for reflections, silhouettes and two Glims in frame
Legendary Glims that surface once per expedition with a single peak

The meta layer

The Album stores the actual photographs you took, re-rendered from their saved capture parameters with grades and captions. Completing a species page means photographing every one of its behaviours, so the collection is a gallery of things you personally captured well.
