Thanks! I wanted to test out random world map generation for a larger project I hope to use it in, so this was perfect for it.
Yeah, sometimes those other animals just get in the way. I've tried playing it as a pacifist and succeeded a handful of times. Another time I decided to blast all of them and try to save the target for last. That's when I realized that there can actually be more than one of the target animal, though you only have to kill one of them to achieve the goal (and it doesn't matter which one it is).
