  • I enjoy the game and it does a great job on the theme but I would like a better tutorial
  • Loved this game! I think it worked really well with the theme because being fooled twice by the same object/question pair actually is kind of the player's misplay. I'm also a sucker for a game that's both fun and educational (I did not know not all Axolotls are pink!) Fun, simple game idea and very well executed.

It took me a moment to grasp how to play this, but I caught on soon enough after making one or two mistakes.  The artwork was thought-provoking and at first I was examining it very closely due to thinking there was a difference in the illustrations.  Pretty dang cool, even taking into consideration that this genre isn't my favorite.  Thematically I felt like this one was right on the nose.   Great work!
