I liked the idea, but the game was so hard I could only get to the bird stage! :D

tip if you are having trouble with difficulty : always back up a bit after hitting an enemy and they wont be able to hurt you :)

Haha! This exceeded my expectations! Very well designed in terms of the mechanics, as killing a weaker enemy made you just as weak... And you surrounded the final boss with all the small enemies, too! Jolly good show!

Pretty difficult. But it's a blast to play. Graphics were definitely above average. Audio pretty good too. Really innovative idea that fits the theme PERFECTLY. Pretty well executed as well. Like I said the difficulty needs some tweaking. (DARN YOU PORCUPINES!) But the gameplay is solid, wonderful work.

Why a mouse? :) Either way, fun and superbly challenging.

Mouse killed by everything, then randomly mouse managed to kill the snake and subsequently killed by a duck. It's like Dark Souls of nature.

Once I learned to kite the enemies I defeated each enemy up until the Monster King, who two-shotted me even as an elephant (lol). Great concept, and pretty fun to work your way up.

This was dead hard. Mostly because you could make almost no mistake, had to get close without knowing how close and had to successfully get several hits in a row. I managed to become a snake though after trying a couple of times. It would have been nice to know the range of the attack too. I didn't try it with a controller (if that works), but that might make it much easier. Nice game though. Liked how the sizes of the hearts told you about their level.

I like a lot of the subtle details.

I was with you on Twitch when they tested your game and mine (BrainRequired) - an epic moment. Snake animation is one of my favorites. Your project is really fun and well done. A great entry ++

Super fun! I loved seeing the powers of each animal. It was difficult and easy to get killed but that just made me plan my attack carefully. And being an alpaca but accidentally changing into a chicken made for some humorous moments. Thank you so much for making this!
