A really cool game, with solid visual, albeit a tad too advanced for the NES, with great audio (music is very catchy and SFX are great!!) too, and a gameplay that, if maybe needing more balancing, is really fun!!
for some reason you have to place your units in a given order (e.g. nets and baits need to be placed before), which makes the game more complicated than it is (though some would love that), but it makes sense regarding animals
Also very cute!!
I reached Stage 2 with -496- 569 (using only otters - I couldn’t see the value of others units, except for maybe the bait, as they cost too much while denying area. Nets are the worst, so promising yet very disappointing for a cost of 100 and consumed after a while. might requires a non-smooth brain to use properly)
Also, the fact you don’t have lives and need to redo stage 1 over and over makes conquering stage 2 by trials and errors quite hard (but that’s a very NES thing).
Excellent work!!
