Absolutely Beautiful !!

I just adore this little “scavenger hunt” game. First things first, the art is just superb!!! It’s adorable hand drawn illustration is vectorized so all lines remain nice and smooth as you zoom in and out. The scene is static, so nothing moves when you tap it like in Hidden People or Through the Ages, but I don't mind at all. It's not supposed to be a copy of those, it's its own game. (Also, You're never looking for some blurry, 3 pixel pebble that you wind up finding accidentally after just tapping all over the place.)
Unfortunately, there is only one level at this time (Aug 2022). When I realized that, I assumed that I’d play through it once and probably uninstall it. However, I’ve had it about two weeks and keep going back to it. I’ve played through about 6 times now. I do appreciate the “day/night” modes, as it adds a bit of a twist. (But not really enough to prevent it from getting repetitive eventually.)
I’m so torn, because this little gem is absolutely worth 5 stars, but selfishly, I’m tempted to do that whole “4 stars for now, 5 stars if you add more levels!” But I won’t, bc the devs DO deserve 5 stars, and hopefully the higher the rating, the more people will find it, and the more the devs will be motivated continue adding content. (I'd happily pay up to $5 if there were 4 new levels added, and the promise of future updates.)
So, for the devs: I’d obviously suggest adding more levels. Some ideas:
⇝ An Underwater world, with cute little octopi hidden within the seaweed. 🐙
⇝ A Jungle world with snakes hidden among vines and ropes. 🐍
⇝ A Beach scene with hermit crabs hiding under rocks and shells. 🐚
⇝ A Cityscape of tall buildings, with windows and scaffolding, and bridges, with little people peaking out windows, hang-gliding past, climbing ladders, sitting in cars... Etc 🏙
⇝ An Outer-space theme with funky aliens or UFOs floating past stars, asteroids, space debris and planets 🪐
(I could do this all night, lol)
But really, the possibilities are endless! You can also recycle the scenes, And just change what's hiding. (Obviously not in the exact same places. Actually, instead of switching what's hidden, you could ADD things. For example, level 5 of the "Tree House World" would consist of 100 owls, plus 100 squirrels from level 2, dragonflies from level 3, and bees from level 4! That way each level is more crowded and therefore more challenging. Just an idea!)
My other suggestion is just a simple “scoreboard”. I love that you can replay, but I don’t know how I did compared to the first time.
That's all. Thank you for reading all the way through, and I hope you consider adding content. Again, you've done a great job, and it's a beautiful little game!
