I have to say I quite like this. It looks nice and plays through well.

One thing I noticed though is that when one player loses both of their lives the whole game is over. With the limited number of animals I suppose it isn't likely the game can go on for that long, but it seems odd to end the game with a loser instead of a winner.

Another issue with this is the turn selector seems to be set on random rather than cycling through the players in an order. That seems great on the surface as a sort of 'party mode' but when I played a four player game more often than not a player (Bob) would have had two turns before another (John) had even had one. If Bob turns out to be a particularly dense child he could kill the game off for everyone before John even gets a turn to guess.
