Bunny was so hard to catch on the level with those three burrows. Every time I got close, he just hops in the hole and ends up on the other side of the map. Took me a minute to finally catch him, quite satisfying trapping him in the top-left corner with no burrows nearby.

Fun little game, but lacking a bit in theme, I don't usually consider foxes and bunnies (with an exeption of The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog from Monty Python) to be monsters, especially with the cute pixelart you made for them.

Genius idea, having four different monsters and changing which one you play as each round. Monsters weren't very monstrous. Levels were decent.

I love the "big pixels and bright colours" look.

Bunny's burrowing would have been better without the randomness IMO as it took away from the skill a bit.

Nice work.

That was a cute concept, I would have liked to see even more dramatically different movement behaviours for each of the friends.

Incredibly fun and would fit well on an arcade machine. The take on the theme that you're the monster in your adorable little campfire yarn was fun, but not really what I was looking for in the theme. Overall quite enjoyable.

As someone you had the "game of tag" idea as well, I had to try yours! ;)
Nice game, I didn't get to the 8th round because I spent too much time running after Froggy in the 3rd round, but I like the idea of having different characters have different abilities.
Good job!

Cute, clever, and well executed. I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the theme felt a bit lacking.

Also, frog is a dick.

The bunny really gave me a hard time :D But it was satisfying to catch him after all. The gameplay is well polished and the art is super cute! Don't think the theme is really strong in here, but the game is fun! : )

Apology accepted. Loved the different mechanics for each animal, and the eversion thing randomly happening was hilarious. AI was pretty smart but I caught them all >:)

Pretty fun and charming entry. I loved the retro graphics and how well thought out each friend's abilities were done.
