Animal Hidden Stars

A compact hidden-object set: five stars per level, all of them required, and the next scene locked until they are found.

Five is a well-chosen number. Enough that finishing feels earned, few enough that no level becomes a slog, and the gating means every scene gets looked at properly rather than skipped.

The animals are the setting rather than the target, which makes the search less obvious than it would be if you were hunting the creatures themselves.

1. Open the level and take in the whole scene.
2. Look for star shapes worked into the artwork.
3. Tap each of the five.
4. Complete the set to unlock the next level.

The stars are usually placed where a shape already suggests a point — a leaf tip, an ear, a corner of a fence. Scanning for those forms is faster than scanning for the colour.
