Physics are sometimes ... frustrating.
Graphics are nice, and audio too, even if music is a little... boring ;)

A good game :)

I kinda liked the music... which is strange, because it's super repetitve.

Z takes notes. That's pretty important.

The note-taking mechanic didn't seem to add anything to the game. Given that there were no enemies or obstacles to challenge you, it felt more like a waste of your time as you simply hold down the key and wait. The theme, mood, graphics, and sound are all decent, however.

I feel you wanted to do a lot more. The diary is a good idea and suggested more interesting animals.
I felt the physics were OK. Darwin discovering species was a good idea. Some moveable enemies and some more challenging levels might be good?

Surprisingly fun considering I am going around taking notes... :)

I thought the taking notes mechanic was gonna be used somehow, maybe you ran out of time? As it is, it's useless, but I think you had something in mind for it. There's a lot of charm in this game for some reason, music, graphics, etc. Reminded me of the good ol' NES times. :)

I quite liked that there weren't any enemies, and I was just wandering around taking notes. The drawings were cool too.

I love Darwin's notebook, it's so cool! The music loop is nice, though repetitive.

Could have been a bit more challenging, :)

Nice idea and graphics. Kept falling down holes!
