Nice work on this game -- great art and animal animations (otter was my favorite), nicely harmonious palette choices, and solid mechanics. I also liked the creative take on the jam theme. Improving my score enough to make it out of the first stage was a bit of a struggle for me, but I kept after it across about a dozen plays, slowly making adjustments (testing nets, otters, bait, eagles, bears, and the placement of all of the above, and trying to strategically juice them with coffee) to get it over 200, over 220, 250, 290, and finally 300 to make the second level -- success! My first intuition was to place the cursor on the land, so it wasn't until play 6 or so that I realized there were water-based options, for whatever that's worth (maybe I'm just dense). Nice job!
