Heh, I did see the resemblance. But no, I wanted to give players a bit of customization and that was my best idea :)

The game is fully playable wherever you are in the world, you could just go for a walk and collect things. It’s not like Pokemon Go where there’s more content in cities. Hell, the game would even work fine in Antarctica!

Plus after getting some currency you can even play on your couch (using the buffs and various buildings), though you make faster progress by walking.

For the bellows: Try wider movements, start your finger a bit further left (you can touch wherever you want) open the bellow wide and then close it fully again.
