I enjoyed the game when I understood what I was meant to do, but unfortunately, every minigame was taking forever to win. On the worm stage, I didn't know where to go. Perhaps I missed a prompt, but on the frog one, I was sat there for ages trying to make the bar go up by collecting insects. I probably misread the prompts since everyone else seems to be fine, so I won't complain too much, especially because I did actually have fun burrowing around as the worm, which by the way, looked really cool, and I also liked the tower defence-style minigame with the frog where you essentially play as a tower, taking out the enemies. The art for this game was definitely done with love, which I very much appreciate, and I think the game is actually quite soothing despite it's sinister cycle of getting eaten each time you progress. I love how you implemented the loop theme to your game, as it's unique and interesting. Well done! If you get a chance, you can Rate My Game Here.

Thank you for the feedback, yes, I agree, we have added the tutorial when the minigame starts, for example with the worm where it said "burrow up" and arrows of directions around the map. Still, I suppose it was not super explanatory, but again, we were kind of limited with time, so we did not go deep into the tutorial part. Did you happen to get to the ending cutscene? :)
Yeah I'm not really a fast reader, so the prompts disappeared before I got a chance to finish reading them. I never got past the frog because for some reason, it takes absolutely ages. I sat there for like 10 minutes collecting the same insect over and over, and then tried another, but the bar went up very marginally and only occasionally. I'd be willing to give it another shot if you can give me some pointers because unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to the end cutscene and I would certainly love to.
Yes of course. With the worm you just have to burrow up. With the frog to get points, you have to eat any bug to create a line of 3 or more bugs of the same colour. For example, if there is RRGRR (R = red, G- green) and you eat G, then you get RRRR which will diappear of the line and give 40 points to the bar. With the fish, the tip is to race on one side as you get faster than the bigger fish, and drift around to go to middle where most fish are. Goose is a level where you lose on purpose, and then Act 2 starts with anoter line of animals. Worm, then Hedgehog where you catch green items for points, and avoid red items, and after a Fox whack-a-mole :) after that there is the ending <3. Hope it helps and you will enjoy it
