3 seconds to find and abduct 3 animals. How far can you get?
It is not as easy as it sounds.
Instructions:
- Each level, you will be told what animal to abduct, make sure to find the matching animal in 3 seconds.
- "Tap to start" button will appear once it has loaded and you can click on it to start the level.
- Tap/click on the animal that you need to abduct as fast as possible.
- Once you have tap/clicked on the 3 matching animals, the level automatically ends and you can proceed to the next level.
- If the time runs out before you abduct 3 animals, you lose the level and can retry if you have lives remaining.
Test your spotting and recognition skills to see how far you can get.

Charming idea! Your art looks nice and your game is fully playable without noticable bugs, at least for me :)
Try to use a counter, when the player is ready so that there wont be any lost seconds, as you are short on time!
I played your game on PC and your screensize is not suitable for that, as the animals spawn outside of the screen :'(
Good game congrats!

Thanks for the feedback.
I did try my best to iron out as many bugs as possible.
There shouldn't be any time lost as the button only appears when its ready (there is a counter).
Ya, the screen size was made for mobile and I could have made is scale but that would mean a lot more work overall and I was short of time :(
Hint: only the animals that aren't important can move or will spawn towards the edges, animal you need to abduct is always stationary and within screen. Hope that helps ;)
The art and sound aren't too bad, but there's no clear direction for how you are supposed to play this game.
With the quick time limit, trying to just figure it out is super frustrating. I would click on the animal I was supposed to find and it would highlight them, but the UFO just flies away and I lose anyway.
I think there's probably a solid reaction game idea here, but the execution is just too frustrating to be enjoyable.

Hi, thanks for your feedback.
I did consider adding an instruction screen but I find that the game is simple enough where the player only has to find objects and click on them before the time runs out. I will see what I can do to improve this.
FYI, the ufo is just animation and distraction which does not tie to the 3 seconds given. During my initial testing, the game was much easier and it was fairly easy to get to higher levels which makes the game kinda easy and not my goal.
The design of the game is meant to be fairly difficult but the player can get better at the game by playing more often to recognize the objects better and faster. At the same time, there is a heavy dose of randomness that gives it replayability.
This game was made in mind as a time burner while people wait for a bus or in a train, just trying to beat their previous highest level achieved.
Hope you can give it more tries and eventually, it will grow on you. Keep the feedbacks coming :)
