Really fun game, definitely one of the best this round. I like the different strategies that can be made on the journey and its good how the elephant can't always fit in places and it's a lot of fun trying out all of the different abilities. The level design, the art style and all of the UI in the game is simply amazing. Some minor things that I think are worth mentioning though: I did get trapped on the second level where the cage blocked the bridge if you save someone else beforehand and I had to refresh to start again, I wished there was a full screen button (it was still okay to play when zoomed out though) and just a personal preference is to have the bullets follow the mouse cursor (at first I thought my aim was off) but I still like the challenge of 8 direction shooting so maybe having space to shoot for that could work. I'm impressed with what you have and can see this doing really well!
