Tadpole
- The game play is intuitive since I just assumed to use the mouse.

- The tadpole shakes every once in a while. Especially when I started playing, each time I ate a ball.

- The art is cute.

- The balls hide which adds difficulty but I feel like it could be a problem.

Frog

- The hopping is fun, especially since it increases difficulty and it is a little annoying to manage.

- The bugs going off screen did start to be annoying because they would be off screen for a long while. Here is where I thought having an ending screen would be helpful, so that I can know if I won or not.

Dragon:

- I was a bit disappointed since it just seemed like a faster version of the tadpole. But when I pressed the mouse I saw that there was "fire". This actually made me wonder if clicking the mouse did something in the other two levels, but no.

- I was disappointed when the fire didn't do anything. For a moment i thought it paralyzed the dots, but I was wrong.

- The dragon starts spinning when the mouse is still.

Final thoughts:

I like the simple art. I know this is just a prototype, but if the elevated art could look simple, I think it would look nice. I really enjoyed the frog level. The movement was interesting and it made the game difficult, which is why I was let down when the dragon was not very different. I would really like to see more creative movement patterns!

• No means to quit the game.
• Movement by way of the character following the mouse is a cute and novel concept; perhaps the mouse itself could also be represented by bait?
• No way for the player to loop around the screen or no catch out-of-bounds enemies.
• I really like the fact that all 3 characters move differently, looking forward to see this concept evolve!
