How does your game fit the theme?
Commonly games involving animals refer to prey as always on the run from predators. In our game, we reverse these roles, so that predators run away from prey, which are now their hunters. In our game, you game as neither of these - you are the Forest itself trying to save the fox from the rabbit's murderous pursuit.

What a unique take on the game! Loveeeee the cute art-style, really well done ;D

Interesting concept, but a bit thin connection to the theme. Placement of the tiles could be a bit finicky, but aside from those things, I think you did well!

I really liked the puzzler aspects of this, and of course, really liked that there was a fox. Tile placement was a smidge confusing until realizing the game has built in stuff to prevent trapping the rabbit. It was pretty fun overall!

A bit difficult to place the tiles sometimes, but except that I had a great time! I really like your take on the theme, and the art and sounds are good and fit well together. Great job! I think it has potential to continue developping the game

Very cool idea. The only issues I ran into is that it's very easy to get soft-locked because you can't move the tiles once you place them down. The restart button should only restore the tiles the player placed, not the fox, the rabbit and the den aswell. Otherwise it's a pretty fun game with really nice visuals.

Liking the characters. The tile placement was unrelaible for me as well, first I thought that there are some rules I don’t know about.

Placing the tiles was pretty unreliable but I like the concept and the art. Neat game.

The randomization doesn't work well all the time, so you can just reload until you get an easy setup. Being able to drag a placed piece would be nice. Good idea, though!

Nice concept. Would be nice if I could change my mind about a piece I placed.

Fun idea and neat execution; enjoyed the art too. With more time and other game features (like maybe giving the fox extra abilities) this could probably be fleshed out into a full game
