I had been looking forward to playing this one. I enjoy games that make learning fun, and the idea of a game that teaches the scientific names of different animals seemed right up my alley.

I’m disappointed that the game is still in such an unfinished state, particularly since there is now a price tag on it. Yes, it is currently 100% off, but it’s still implying that this should at least be in an early access state. This doesn’t even feel like it would count as an early beta. Sure, you can get questions to show up in the different languages, but that’s it. There are no images and no answers. There is no gameplay and nothing really to do.

You’ve got a good idea here, but there is nothing to back it up.

I have 1000 animals within the code, so having the correct image will take some time, and actually getting the options to be linked.  
I'm trying, ok?

The biggest problem here is that you added a price tag to this.  Players are going to expect a more complete product, even if you currently have it listed as being 100% off and have "Beta" in the title.  If I had come across this on my own and picked it up, the state it is in would turn me off from picking up or playing any other games from you.  

My recommendation would be to change the "Beta" in your title to "Pre-Alpha", and remove the price tag.  You may also want to start with fewer animals to give the players a demo and let them have a feel for what the complete game will be like.  Showing how the game works with 3 to 5 animals will let players see that there is a game here to play, even if it's still in a very early alpha state.  You can then worked on adding animals slowly, without feeling quite so pressured to get it all out at once.
