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.
