In Snapshot Adventures you play the role of a bird photographer. You have two main goals in the game: one is to fill your bird book with the best pictures of each species you can find and the other is to complete the campaign. And for a game about bird watching – it’s remarkably entertaining.

The game has over 85 real birds in it, and you have a limit of two stored photos for each. You keep two of your best photos for each bird - one in flight and one that’s stationary. Each photograph is rated in several categories and ratings are based on how well the bird is centered, how much it fills the frame, and its orientation to the camera. You get bonus points if it’s caught in action (preening, calling, eating, playing, or multiple birds). For instance, a simple shot of a cardinal looking at you is worth less than the exact same frame of it eating. The game’s formula scoring is excellent (and fair) at determining what is or is not a good shot. You can also receive demerits if your picture is too dark or the bird image is cropped.
