My only complaint is the control scheme; buttons are spread out in a way that I often reset the game or switch between the animals on accident. Could just be me though. Audio\/Graphics are fine enough (I like how each animal has a different walking sound). Very clever use of the theme.

I liked figuring out what part each of the animals played.  Nice implementation of the them, and perfect music choice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Was there any particular reason you used the V button.  I didn't count it against you; I'm just wondering since it felt awkward to use V and the space bar together. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Level design was nice, but I think I found a solution to a couple levels than you intended... either that, or you put in some red herrings.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>On level 11 (I think... the one with 7 switches), my game kind of got stuck.  My active character was no longer visible.  Space bar and the R button didn't do anything even after I focused on the canvas.
