This is great! Really fun concept, well balanced and executed.

Graphics work well for the gameplay, and the instructions are short and sweet

Great concept and execution, I really like how you really need to juggle between the three animals to survive, you get to feel a certain tension when you see an owl and are just about to hunt a mouse.

Nice job!

I like it, although for me the start screen felt a bit too cluttered. I had to strain to read how to play, minor complaint but thought it was worth mentioning.

Good job.

I found it far too easy. I never needed to use the turtle form, and got bored before I was ever in any danger of losing.
