reminded me of games i played when i was little. I got the chihuahua!

At the end, i became a little yellow bird, the second run a wolf. Would've been more intriguing if the paths, to the animals was longer. But overall good entry :)

It's a fun mini-game, I really liked it. It really reminds me of the same tests on the Internet with the most unexpected twists and turns xD

Simple but effective. The theme is well respected, I just find it a shame that it's so short. I think one or two extra questions would have been worth it. Since it's a very short game, you want to explore every possibility, so a 'replay' button would probably have been useful! The cute and colorful art style works really well. Maybe a little description to go along with the creature would have added even more fun, kind of like a horoscope.

@cituchi @edali @dfyzet Yeah, I wanted to evoke these tests. It's a little bit nostalgic (even though I've always disliked these kind of "games").

@royur A "puggy" chihuahua

@thesand @meinewn I did not add more questions because it would have meant more animals exponentially... unless some results were the same (which is not a dumb idea because not everyone would do the chore of trying all possibilites)... *or if I worked smarter, not harder*. I felt some things were still missing, and little descriptions would have been GREAT! (easy, and I could have used recolours). About the simplicity, there are two types of games: one where the simple outcome has been planned since the beginning, and one where expectations have to be progressively scaled-down. The first kind is often better, but this game falls in the second category. The result is vastly different from what I imagined at the beginning. One feature I have to regretfully drop was a dress-up part (because this kind of game always has it).

Sweet and easy, really strings on my nostalgia. I used to do quizzes like that in magazines too. I am a lil cthulhu thing!

Fun! I miss the days of silly flash games...

It's cool that you get a different picture for every possible combination of answers. I agree that names or descriptions for each creature would be a simple addition that would add a lot of 'replayability' to the game (to see all the descriptions).

Cool game!
