Crypto Critters Capture

Hey there, crypto zoolologists. My name is CJ, the crypto hunter, and I'm here to teach you how to capture some critters. 

First, grab your handy-dandy lasso with the mouse. When you're ready to capture a critter, press left click to drop your laso stake. 

Your lasso will then follow your mouse, creating a rope as you go, but remember you can't go too far from your stake. So make sure you are close to the critter.

 Also, to make the experience more SICK NASTY, we added a sick combo system to capturing. The more loops you do, the higher the combo.

 The higher your combo, the faster you capture those critters and the longer your range is. So make sure you hit the sickest combo you can. 

Remember, as soon as you lift your mouse, the combo starts decaying. 

Once the combo decays or you are hit by the critter, your highest score in the current combo will be added to your score. Capturing crypids also adds to the score. 

See how AWESOME you can make your score and happy hunting!!! :)

I don't remember Pokemon Rangers being this radical..

Meet the critters:

Mowel:

Mowl is the rare snow monkey owl. It has the remarkable ability to throw a spread of catfish when it feels threatened. Its favourite food is potatoes.

Gotter:

Gotter is a goat otter who does a little of everything. It runs, it shoots, it just does a little of everything. Gotter loves spaghetti.

Wanguin:

Wanguin is a wallaby penguin that's an energetic little fellow. It loves to skate, so it moves around a lot. It needs a lot of food to keep charging around, so it loves the most plentiful food of them all, apples.

Ottgle:

Ottgle is an otter eagle who throws a line of catfish. Much like the majestic eagle in real life, Otgol currently has a hankering for Parmesan cheese.

Catfish:

Finally, little is known about the rare catfish other than its symbiotic relationship with the other critters.
