    • “The gameplay, like the graphics, is very simple and mostly about completing small action challenges on every screen.”
    • “The mechanics are instantly understandable, but the game is still challenging to play.”
    • “A detail I really liked is that every animal has a different mechanic that somewhat resembles how they would behave in the real world (turtles move slowly, snakes 'jump' to attack you, bats avoid you, rats attack when they're cornered, etc.).”

    • “While the design is consistent, the soundtrack fails to engage and often feels forgettable.”
    • “The music doesn't enhance the gameplay experience; instead, it becomes a background noise that you quickly tune out.”
