Change font+colour for the 'start' and 'instructions' so that they are more easily seen. Guinea Pig (cf WoSGamers side bars?) - I can hear those weird //squbeep// noises these odd animals make already. If you really wanted to make it a guinea pig game (which the cat, dog, snake bosses seem to imply) then there is room for humour, after all, aren't these animals designed to be laughed at? They do the most odd things (eat their own poo ...)

Scary sketches - you need obviously to scale them down to what Scratch lets you do. Remember that Scratch goes full-screen so you can have quite a lot on one screen. Do the wasps wings move? Good source of possible music, but watch that Creative Commons thing as it doesn't just let you use the stuff freely. Its actually a complex IP protection system that allows the owners to leak use as and how they wish. Always read the small print.

I look forward to playing the game in January!

Overall - its a good game idea and nicely presented. Play up the humour a tad.
