It's a nice, calm experience. I really love the imagery of the life giving tree with all the critters around it. To that end, my biggest complaint, I think there are too many particle effect, they get in the way of the calmness and nice graphics - which honestly isn't much. I really like how the game ends. Great job!

I had tones of critters at the end, the free critter option is so perfect, letting them live their lives is such a good moment. really lovely!\n(Just a little suggestion, you should put all your ingame drawable object (you draw the ui as usual) in one loop to draw them ordered by y (so you have to add them into a single list like \"drawable\" and sort the list by the y property), it will allow to draw correctly because right now if the critters are behind are tree they are draw in front for example which make it looks bad.
