# About Alphabet Safari

Alphabet Safari takes young players on an exciting journey through a vibrant jungle environment. The goal is to help learn the alphabet by associating letters with corresponding animals. Presented with the name of an animal, players must identify and select the correct animal emoji from a group of choices displayed on the screen.

The game features a colorful, animated jungle background with swaying vines and rustling foliage, creating an immersive atmosphere. With simple controls, engaging sound effects, background music, and positive reinforcement for correct answers, Alphabet Safari provides a fun and interactive way for children to practice letter recognition and learn about different animals from A to Z.

Each correct selection earns points and progresses the player through the alphabet. The game continues until all letters have been successfully matched, concluding with a final score display. It's designed to be intuitive and encouraging for early learners.

## How to Play

1.  **Start:** Click the "Start Game" button on the title screen.
2.  **Objective:** Look at the top left corner to see which animal you need to find (e.g., "Find: Lion").
3.  **Identify:** Examine the animal emojis displayed in the lower part of the screen.
4.  **Select:** Click or tap on the emoji that represents the target animal.
5.  **Feedback:** If correct, you'll see a positive message ("Awesome! Found the [Animal Name]!"), hear a sound, see particles, score a point, and move to the next letter. If incorrect, you'll see a message indicating the animal you clicked ("That's a [Clicked Animal Name]. Try again!") and hear a different sound.
6.  **Progression:** Continue finding the correct animals for each letter presented.
7.  **Complete:** The game ends once you have successfully found an animal for every letter of the alphabet (A-Z). Your final score will be displayed. Click "Play Again" to restart.
