I think you've done a really good job here, and there is some cool mechanics you've established. If I were to make one recommendation, it might be to limit the available animals in the levels that don't require them, otherwise it's actually quite easy to satisfy many of the requirements just by placing random animals that are unrelated to the puzzle. For example, no elephants next to each other and no turtle/porcupine sharing rows is easily satisfied just by placing any other random animal. That said, great work on this! Well done.

I agree, this is a great little game, with cute graphics. I think the controls are frustrating because it is pressing up does not equate to moving up on the screen. Perhaps a better control scheme would be to use the Numpad, and then you can properly map the diagonals, as well as using up to truly move upwards. Great work though!

As I mentioned in my other comment, excellent work, just try using eight buttons for the controls so you can acurately map the diagonals.

Excellent work! First entry in this competition that I played through till completion. Loved the toke on the encounters - reminded me of the fights in Earth Bound, if you ever played that one. Really great job! One minor bug/"feature" was that you could hover attached to the ceiling by holding up. Great work though!

I must say, I really loved the way there were always caverns that would open up once you tunneled through the walls a bit. Could have used a littel more direction for the player, but good job!

pretty cool! Some completion message would be nice once you find the orbs though

I really liked this a lot! I know there were a lot of features you intended to add, but the single feature I would most have liked would be some type of catalog or list of the species I photographed. It says "new species," but does it just always say that, or is it really only when I photograph a species for the first time? It'd be cool to see my collection increase and "catch them all". Super work!

Hi there. I can't play your game for some reason - "The webpage cannot be found"

Really cool mechanic and implementation. My only gripe would be that it is a little tough to figure out how the interplay of angle and speed affects the final result of your ship's motion, and thus several levels in it was mostly trial and error. Maybe it might be possible to have a handful of "instant path visualizers" per level, where you could see the ships' potential trajectory without having to wait for them to make the entire transit. Not sure how hard that would be to do though. Great work overall!
