Animal Crackers
ANIMAL CRACKERS
Today's the President's birthday! As one of the only Independent members of the Animal Congress, it is up to you, an adorable tie-wearing mouse, to break the gridlock and ensure the President has the greatest party ever!
You will get to meet and greet many animals on your quest to gather party goods. Some items the President will love; others not so much—talk to a diverse zoo of characters to find out which. Make sure to invite a guest of honor, too!
Animals include:
- A conservative Republicanine who supports preemptive fetching
- A liberal Democat who is fighting to legalize catnip
- A chicken who believes they are a dragon
- A cow who is actually a bee
There are four total endings in the game, so be sure to find them all!

Oh.MY.GAWD. THIS IS AMAZEING ;o;
I love this game, I finally have a desent backstory for a mouse charactor I had
WHAT DOES THE SHEEP WANT I OFFERED IT ALL THE DELICACIES OF THE WORLD AND IT STILL WONT TALK TO ME PLEASE ANSWER ME WHAT DOES SHE WANT thank you <3
I'll likely do a stream soon to showcase all the endings! But the hint I have is that the tortoise in the sky might have a hint if you help him out first.
I meant the one where she talks about the bears and says she needs food sorry i wasn't clear enough. I mean how do i get peaches
How do you get all endings?I've only got the good ending.
from what i remember: brother bear (grey bear) honey, comedy movie, black/unsweetened coffee and random stuff, dont include brother bear for bad party. if you do all this and include him, you get the worst party.
I got that ending,same with the good ending.
o yeah, also cheesecake for dessert.
I'm planning to stream this weekend to showcase every ending! I might make an announcement post for it soon.
cute game!i somehow only got the good ending.
Good parties are good! Maybe one day soon we'll stream developer playthroughs that show all the endings.
Ok!
yay! so happy i got all the endings (in order from worst to best lol!) such a lovely game <3
That's great to hear! Thank you so much for playing our little game
<3
Such an adorable game!! Loved it! Wish there was more to this cute universe.
Any chance we can get a .exe?
Very unlikely. The original game was made in Flash and ported to HTML5. Having said that, you should be able to download the game with the Itch App if you need a local offline copy.
Really? Could you tell me how?
If you get the Itch App you should see an "Install" option at the bottom of the page. From there you'll be prompted to install the game to a directory of your choosing. That will install the game locally, which will allow you to boot it in offline mode. If you have any further questions please join our Discord server and reach out to us directly (on the server you can speak with marimo who will help you out)
Well gee, that was wholesome and delightful. If I had to rate this game, I would say it was.. ... .... AWESOME!
This game was adorable. I'd totally play the full version!
This was a nice little game, thanks for sharing!
really a super cute and adorable game!! loved it! ;)
i adore this game! its so cute and peaceful!
This was really cute!
This warmed my little cold heart, thanks a lot!!
This is such an incredibly beautiful and sweet game!
The music is a perfect fit.
I just finished with a good party, I can't wait to keep trying
Yay I threw a good party and didn't completely blow it! Woo!
Ahh so cute love this and the game style
never felt that embraced by a hug of a dragon ♥ 02:43
Thanks for playing and recording a video!
gahhh!!!! what does the sheep want to eat after you give them water?????
I love this game!
Possible spoiler disclaimer!
It's really cute and heartwarming although I can't figure out how to help Al with his resentment with his job..
this is such a cute game!
Thanks so much for playing! Glad you liked it.
I figured out the Best Birthday ending!! that's so sweet! I loved your game :)
animal crackers in my soup
monkeys and rabbits loop the loop loop loop loop
is there a perfect party option
There are four endings, one of which is the Best Party. It takes a bit to learn exactly what you need for this!
Thanks for making such a sweet game, I had a lovely time playing it!
I come back to this game at least once a year when I'm having a rough time, and it is always so relaxing and cute. Thank you for making it. <3
Really glad to hear that. We're happy that we made something that makes others happy, too!
I only discovered this game yesterday and I thought it would just be another simple fetch quest type game but I'm very pleasantly surprised! I've gotten one ending so far, right now I'm exploring the other quests (mainly the lily of the valley one) and I love it! The art is so so so cute the game is simple but not so simple that it's boring it's something I can just relax and play and not have to think too hard about. The soundtrack is lovely too!
Thank you! The soundtrack is by Louie Zong, used with his permission and including the commissioned title track of the game. If you haven't gone through his Bandcamp before, we would recommend it. There's a lot of good content here: https://louiezong.bandcamp.com/
This is great! The art is so cute, and the idea is hilarious and original! 5/5! :D
It's been a month or two since I've been wanting to ask this question hehe.. (- - ") Is there any way to bring the lily to the tortoise?? The art and gameplay is fascinating btw! <3
Hi there, thank you for playing! The tortoise isn't the one you need to bring the lily to, he simply exists to inform you a little bit about that plot thread. Try talking to everybody before picking up any animals to uncover plot clues, as some animals are more keen on the President's activities than others.
Ah I see! Thank you for the advice!
I love this game! 5 stars! Is there any way to get the dragon the thing he is missing though? I can't find it...
I'm the artist of this game, thank you so much!! ;v; To get the dragon's package, you should talk to one of the birds in the clouds for another hint! If you're still stuck, feel free to let me know!
Okay thank you! You have some real talent! Will there be a sequel or something like it in the future?
Thanks for playing our game--we really appreciate it! There's no sequel to this planned, but we have other games available for play. Most are pretty different from this one, though. Thanks again for playing Animal Crackers!
