Very satisfying! What a great concept. I even felt like I had to be gentle as I caught them!

Wasn't expecting "do do do do, dooo" when I saw the cover art. Cool vibes for a short little game.

It's simple but fun. You should have really added some levels or challenges or perks, something to make it more interesting as you replay it!

For some reason the music and sound effects did not play on the first run. I believe that's due to the way the audio stuff on web browsers work. If you do not interact with the canvas by clicking on it, audio will not be activated. So it goes on when you play the °play again° button. Probably if you add a button to start the game at the beginning, it will also solve this issue.

Speaking of which, I love the theme music :smile:

The combination of art sound and cute little graphics pulls this together! I really enjoy how simple it is to play and I like the music that the person was humming, that added so much charm to it lol.
