Even though it is incomplete and very rough, I can definitely see the vision. Even in its current state, I felt some nostalgia for old educational games I played as a kid. I won't really go into detail with critique as I'm sure you're aware of anything that I'd give and would have ironed that out if you could have. Instead I'll tell you what worked.
I feel like the art really captures the look of late 90s early 00s educational games. The real life photo for the background mixed with simple but effective drawings on top of it fits in with that atmosphere.
The sound is also very fitting. I would have personally made it so in addition to being able to play the sound of the species on command, it would periodically play when the player is nearby and the volume would depend on the distance.
It probably isn't going to get a very high rating as there's very little here but I'm still glad to see something this unique in the jam even if it wasn't finished.
