The avatar model is a good representation of a meerkat based off the unity primitives. I like how it stands up when it is standing still. That really makes it feel like a meerkat.

I thought that the sound effects were a nice addition. You did a pretty good job with the look of the meerkat given that we’re limited to primitive game objects. A few particular things I liked was how you had a separate animation for falling down as well having the meerkat “stand up” as it jumped. They’re nice additions to improve the overall polish. I would’ve liked to see some visual change when the meerkat jumps on top of the gold but overall I think this is pretty good.

Nice job! The soundtrack was a nice choice because it matches both the environment and the joyful feeling. I also noticed that the animations are good and in agreement with a joyful meerkat. The meerkat textures are good too! I would suggest as improvement to add the “gold disappear after picked up” and the collisions with trees. But, again, it was a nice job.

I like the avator model. I like the simulated space. I like the background music. I think you succeed express something about joy. But some more efforts need to be made to make the toy look better. The problems include: the meerkat can go through the tree without any collision. It steps on the gold, but I only get some feedback from sound effects. I think it is very easy to make the gold disappear after the meerkat “digs” it. And it is easy to show its gold number like how we show jumps numbers. I believe if you have more time, it will be an excellent toy with a lot of joy.
