No Pet Is An Island's itch.io pageJudge feedback

- The game is fun, I love the art style, the music is fitting and the story is goofy, but kind of makes sense! The creature design is very interesting and a ferret slug is an amazing creation! Especially with the caption of "Ferret if it was a sea wizard". A few things to note: The camera has a tendency to freak out near cliffs and the cliffs completely disappear, suddenly you can't walk anymore. It would make more sense if only the one below you disappeared, not all of them, it would still make it clear that there is a cliff above and below you. Main menu music could be used to set a theme for the game, be it goofy or serious. Even if you just make the track similar to the exploration music. A good suggestion would be if the creature locations were randomized and their AI improved a little, since "THE ONE" creature can be caught right away if it just gets stuck on some trees. All in all, really well done! Keep making cool stuff, I really enjoyed this one!

Summarize your game!
Your boss' son lost his only pet this morning and you've been assigned the task of catching a new one before he finds out.
You control the player character, Steven, using WASD, and left click to shoot your net in the direction you are looking.
Keys 1-4 activate your abilities (respectively):
- Stealth bush
- Meat lure
- Calming aroma
- Trail cam (press 4 again to shoot your tranq dart)
The creatures will try their best to avoid capture so you need to use your wits and abilities to outsmart them. Some creatures are more susceptible to certain abilities than others! Make note of what works and what doesn't so they won't escape again!
Please explain how your game fits the theme.
The boss' son is a real shrewd kid so there's only one match that'll do the trick. You need to find the perfect replacement in order to fool him!
In addition the player only has one net and one of each ability (if unlocked) when traveling to the island to catch creatures.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
I hope you play around with the trail cam and see how it can be used with the other abilities

Hey, I also had trouble with your game! I managed to load the title screen, but my laptop sounded like an airplane taking off! It looks like such a cute concept, it's just too hefty for my lil computer.
It looks like a fun adventure, I tried running it but the page crashed.
Oh no that's so sad! I'm sorry. It never crashed when we were testing it, but I think if you're using a really old browser version it won't work. Other than that I don't know what happened.
Hopefully it is just me, I tried on few of them and they crashed.
