Holy high score! I'm glad you liked the game. You've made my day with your words.
Smokey the bear probably was also trying to get a good high score somewhere on the woods!
The game is interesting.
The concept of helping animals reminds me of Soulframe; Loved the litlle guys floating around you when you free them and the music is gourgeous! But..
The level design --- the clarity of the level; how it's strucutred; the paths that you take are not; the music suddenlycutting to another track when you enter a area --- all of this problems amount to making the traversal not that great. On top of that, the player movement is sticky and clunky --- when attacking while walking, the character keeps on going, even when i release the walking button. The art is not bad, but taking in the fact of the duration of the jam and the team size, it's not that great; some parts of it are quite nice (like the game banner).
In the end, it's a unfinished prototype, that still needs a lot of work --- but i can see it becoming a rather interesting game!
