I went there today to see what the whole new thing was about and did the orb run to add a few points to my score of the day. Aurora adds new content on a regular basis to keep their clients base buying and interested in coming back. This new idea of a trap is very smart. It allows you to set your trap once every 24 hours which makes you come back to see what if anything you have caught. This will bring back those who have maxed out their orb earning potential. Smart marketing used to make customers return on a regular basis. You go NDreams!

Every time i enter that space there are a few artists that pop into mind. The first time I browsed through their stores and saw the clock virtual item for the orb boost i thought of Dali. 1.4 brought us the long limbed elephants in the background, and if the clocks didn’t bring Dali to mind, the elephants should have slapped you with the reference. I can certainly see Magrite, but the balloons and the tree houses, the bright colors and the whimsy of the place also bring a contemporary to mind -- Daniel Merriam (it’s impossible to not love his work)You’d have to be blind to not see Frank Baum there as well, I almost expected the path to be made of yellow bricks. The steampunk always brings to mind Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells, and the creepy vibe is even a little Tim Burton and Mark Ryden. The floating islands is something we have been beaten over the head with in Hayao Miyazaki’s work and yet Aurora brings it all together in a cohesive way that makes it iconic of nDreams. Updating their rewards and leveling system has been the reason i keep going back. When I am able to log on regularly I make it a point to visit that area daily. I am very excited about this update and I know ill be purchasing at least that Auroralite contraption.
