Note: Our other team members weren't able to run the game, so they assigned me, the harshest critic of them all, to play it.

First of all, it is a good game, and I don't mean it in the "hey man, I need some ratings, great game though!" way, I really mean it. I see that this is your second jam game, and you did a great job!

Now, after that is out of the way, I must say that I am no game-critic and I know that there are human beings like me at the other side of the screen, putting effort and time and sweat to doing something, great.

But I didn't enjoy it.

I know, I just said that you did a great job, didn't I? Yes, you did. But the game is something like... a captcha. There is no fun, there is just frustration in failing to pass it. In a short span of time it turns from something funny into a program that actively designed to make you fail and you just get more and more frustrated along the way.

But again, I am no game-critic, and I find this game better than all of our games, combined. You made a game, an actual game, in a short amount of time, using a unique mechanic. And managed to do it, by coordination! That is the thing that amazes me the most.

Tips:

You can try to lower the difficulty, or give player higher stamina. You can buff the stick by making its "stamina bar" separate. You can also change the colors of the animals to make it easier to differentiate them.

Thanks for the critique I appreciate a lot the constructive criticism because it helps us grow as a Dev.

I understand where you're coming from, the game is unbalanced and the cane doesn't help it only drains stamina.
This is due to the fact that we have only one programmer in the team and we didn't have much time for testing.
It's my fault that the game is too hard because I change the difficulty curve (animals spawn delay) in the last few hours since i felt the game way too easy and not very challenging. Maybe after the jam is finished we will add a stun mechanic where the animals stay still for 4/5 second after you hit them and maybe we will lower the spawn rate.

Edit: we are really sorry that your team can't play the game we didn't understand where the problem is :(
