Animal Quest

Welcome, you are about to experience nature through an animal's eyes.
Animal Quest is a fun game for any age. First you select what animal you would like to become and then you try to cross your habitat collecting as many energy tokens as possible by capturing your prey while avoiding your predators and outsmarting your competitors.
Animal Quest is a never ending adventure in the fascinating world of Nature. All animals are placed randomly at different screens so that each game is unique and unpredictable, challenging you every time.
Animal Quest is also a realistic simulation of food chain Ecology.
The rules of the game are based on factual prey and predator relationships. A truly Educational game that balances gaming with learning. To play the game you must first learn who is your prey and who are your predators.
Animal Quest features four different animal games to choose from: Forest animals, Ocean animals, Jungle animals and young lions vs hyenas.
It includes three difficulty levels to choose from, each providing increasingly more challenging games, score-keeping, on-line help, easy Icon-based input and extensive information on each animal and plant.
Become one of your favorite animals and try to survive, capture as many prey animals as you can while avoiding your predators. Every time you capture an animal you get energy tokens ( Calories ). When you are captured by a predator you lose twenty energy tokens, so the only penalty is that your final score will not be as high. You move from West to East. When you reach the end of a screen you move to the next one.
There is a total of twelve screens to cross. In the last screen your family will be waiting for you and the highest score is recorded in the Hall Of Fame.
SCORING: Your current Score is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The accumulated energy tokens stack up until you have collected over 50, then you are fully "energized" and can move diagonally as well, thus surprising your prey or escaping your enemies more easily.
TIPS: don't overlook the importance of the "skip a turn" option. Use it whenever you are stuck or when any other move will result in your capture. To "skip a turn", when using the keyboard: press , when using the mouse: click on your animal itself.
If a predator blocks your path, get close enough, so when it follows you, you try to lead it away from the path, turn around and escape. If more than one predators are near by, try to distract them one at a time.
