### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2023-02-21, version 1.6.7*

This game is bad. Some animals don’t have the full body and some are stuck and u can’t change habitats that easily. Why isn’t there only an orca head and not the full body? This game is just stupid…

### 3/5 — Volume

*2020-05-28, version 1.6.7*

It would be wonderful if the facts in each habitat  had a way to be narrated to the children.
