A good concept and idea, felt like it lacked a little on the graphics side, like some creatures weren't even connected. Also felt like it lacked some SFX and the music was stopping after some time. It had some bugs like not being able to see the task you were given after accepting it. Overall it has potential and would be a nice experience with some more polishing.

I liked the art style and concept. I had an issue where if I pressed the tasks button and then "OK", I would get stuck and could not close either window. I had a hard time understanding what to do. I think some of the instruction was unclear. I did not know what properties were from each lab. Maybe after using the lab, I could get more info about the strengths of it.

Cool idea, I can definitely see you put a lot of work and thought into the system behind it, like generating all the descriptions for the creatures. I wasn't able to understand what each lab really meant and how it affected the generated creature - with some more work on the presentation of the tasks and the labs, this seems like something that would be fun to play around with. But it was still funny to see all the weird generated creatures!

Interesting concept. I liked generating the funny creatures and reading their descriptions. You have a good variety of creature body parts and its fun. I wish I could understand the tasks a little better. Thanks for submitting!

Nice concept that generates the pet from the selection to satisfy the requirement of the customer. The art style is nice. Personally I need some more hints on the habits and behaviors of the monsters when selecting them.
