Sixteen missions to save the basin

Five chapters, each mission with its own objectives and three stars to earn. It starts with a butterfly on the trail. It ends with Kessler.

Chapter 1

First Light

  1. Welcome to KavarimorningMeet Ranger Amara at the station, then take your first photo: a blue morpho butterfly on the trail.
  2. The WallowThe elephant herd gathers at the mud wallow. Photograph them. Pip can SNIFF out where they are.
  3. Big Catgolden hourA jaguar hunts the eastern ridge. Sneak in - if she sees you, she is gone.
  4. Pip's Lost TreatPip dropped his treat somewhere near the old fig. SCOUT from a tree, FETCH it back... and find something that should not be here.

The Camp

  2. Eyes in the TreesGet close. Pip can DISTRACT a guard. Photograph the caged fawn and Kessler's face, then get out before the alarm.
  3. Call It InduskPhotos are not enough for an arrest. Kessler keeps a ledger in the big tent. Pip can SQUEEZE in. Then the rangers issue you the dart gun.
Chapter 3

Sabotage

Your best friend

Pip helps

Pip rides on your shoulder and hops off when you need him. Tap the PIP button and he picks the right job for the moment.

SCOUT

Pip climbs a tall tree and looks out over the jungle for you.

DISTRACT

Pip pulls a guard’s attention so you can slip past or get closer.

FETCH

Treats, keys, a ledger from a tent: if it’s small, Pip can grab it.

SQUEEZE

Pip squeezes into a cage and pulls the latch to set an animal free.

SNIFF

Pip sniffs out a trail and shows you where it leads.

ALARM

Pip warns you, all on his own, when danger is near.

The camera

Every shot is scored

Raise the camera, zoom, focus and shoot. Each photo gets a score, earns FILM and goes into your album, where you can share your favourites.

FramingSubject big and centred
FocusSharp where it counts
LightLit from the front
StabilityStand still, shoot steady
RarityThe rarer, the better
BehaviourCatch the moment

Four lenses: Kit 24-70, Zoom 70-300, Fast Prime 85, and the Gold Lens for VIPs. Evidence counts too: poachers, cages and crates on camera are what the rangers need.

MorningMist on the trail, cool light.
Golden hourWarm, low sun. The best light of the day.
DuskThe floodlights come on at the camp.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is it free?

Wild Lens is free to download. It shows ads from Google AdMob and has two optional extras: Remove Ads (a one-time purchase) and Wild Lens VIP (a subscription: no ads, a daily gift of FILM, double FILM from every photo and mission, the Gold Lens and a red bandana for Pip). The whole story can be finished without either.

Is it pay-to-win?

No. The whole story is free to finish. FILM is earned by taking photos and finishing missions, and nothing you can buy makes the guards easier or the animals tamer.

Where do ads show up?

One banner on the title screen, never during play. A full-screen ad can appear between missions, never in your first two missions, at most every other mission and at least three minutes apart, and never during a mission or a story scene. Rewarded ads are always your choice. Remove Ads turns off the banner and the between-mission ads.

Do I need an internet connection or an account?

No account, ever. The story plays on your phone without a connection. Ads and the optional purchases need a connection when they appear, but the game itself does not.

Is it violent?

No gore and no hunting: your camera is your main tool. Later in the story the rangers hand you tranquilliser darts: darted guards fall asleep and the rangers arrest them. The poachers are the bad guys, and the animals are the ones you rescue.

Who is it for?

Anyone who likes nature, adventure and a bit of sneaking around. It is not designed for young children.

What phones does it run on?

Android phones. Low, Medium and High graphics settings (or automatic) let it run smoothly on older phones and look its best on newer ones.

Where are my photos and progress saved?

Only on your phone. Your photo album, progress and settings live in the game’s own storage. There is no cloud save. NEW GAME on the title screen starts the story over, and uninstalling deletes everything. Remove Ads and Wild Lens VIP are tied to your Google Play account and can be restored.

Which languages?

English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian and Hindi.
