Well, i have been playing for 15 minutes so far and i'm not sure this is supposed to work like this.
I mean, i'm on day 2, level 12, a poor guy died, can't do experiments on the third and realized if i don't feed or water the others, their damages just assume negative values so i can keep on experimenting without killing them. As a result, i grew some nice 11.000$ but can't do much else besides repeating the process infinitely.

For some reason the when I get the third monster the mouse just stop working.

Those bugs should be fixed now. I was a little trigger-happy with the release... lesson learned.

Nice first entry, congrats!

I really liked this, and you postmortem, too. I actually don't think it's that far from being a genuinely fun game.

lol good that i read the last warning.
anyway i like games like CandyBox and i think you have a nice idea to develop here.
my first frustration was that you promise in the text that "snake shaped" monster can reproduce but if you put 2 on 2 experiment tables aside you cannot make them reproduce ;-)

Nice concept, it has great potential!

Nice little sim game. I like the simple graphics. Hope we can see more complex mechanics next time!

It's nice for a game made in two days. I hope you will improve it !

I like the concept, i can see it having potential if you could use the facts you learn to unlock different types of interactions. As it stands you can make enough money from experiments that you never have to worry about feeding the critters or them dying; at the cost of feeling like a monster, of course. Well done on your first jam!
