The rabbit animation is really well done. 

The race itself is really unbalanced, as others commented, but the overall gameplay is nice and smooth.

P.S.: It always says you win even though the rabbit is clearly ahead and never reached. Maybe a bug?

Hi,

A good idea about races between different animals, it shows their inequality in one thing well, that is, each animal has its own advantage, some in the sky, some in the water, etc.

I definitely laughed at the fact that for a shark, racing is a defeat :D.

In fact, the rabbit wins 100%, it is possible to win for the bird, if the rabbit gets stuck, for example, by hitting a stone, that is, if you choose the rabbit and simply hold down the right and up buttons, then the victory is yours :).

Perhaps for such races it would be good to consider more mechanics that would take into account the strengths and weaknesses of each animal, for example, if you play as a shark, then for the shark the entire location below consists of water, in which there are also obstacles, if you play as a rabbit, then it swims slower than a fox, if it is a bird, then give it a faster flight, but also obstacles in the sky, for example trees, etc. That is, put all animals on equal terms where the one with the best skill wins.

Overall, I liked the idea, it was fun, congratulations!

I think there's potential for this to be  pretty interesting depending on the course design - right now there's a clear advantage to use the rabbit (I guess the aquatic animal would be unstoppable in water based level... perhaps it could be like a triathlon)

Pretty neat little racing game. I unknowingly picked the rabbit first and killed the first race, then didn't do so well picking animals after that!

More level variety and just general time and TLC would be good for this game. Very good start to some fun and light gameplay though!

well, I won with the bunny and it said I won with the eagle, but I don't believe I did. never saw that bunny again. The shark... was interesting.

I love the animations you have for the sprites. I started with the shark thinking it was going to be super cool and good. Lol.
Fun game. Would love to see this expanded onto further with more difficulty or variability in obstacles.

Small suggestion but you should consider creating a cover image for your game, even just a screenshot with the name of the game would be great. AI can also be good for generating the cover art, just tell it about your game and ask it to make a cover image.
