Genre: Puzzle, 1st person
Summary: This is a first person game, where the user inhabits the bodies of various animals, in an effort to acquire precious gems. The user advances through various landscapes which are essentially puzzles.
Critical Evaluation: This very innocent game is very easy to use. It uses tranquil scenery and the use of mazes to get around the game. The "many puzzles make smart use of the body-switching mechanic, while the entirely mouse-based controls do a lot with very little, even if they're a bit fiddly and sluggish currently. It's the beautiful angular art that makes it, however" (Ludumdare Website).

- Libraries provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
- Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.
- LISTEN to what they have to say and reiterate our freedom to read and be without censorship.
- All material for young adults are under the review of the branch manager and even further up, the Library Director and even City Council members.
