10/10 loved it. I hope you modify this game and deploy to the mobile devices.

Nice idea!

This is great! I love how you intuitively start sorting them out by gender and size, making it a pretty creative challenge. Very satisfying to try to breed a creature as big as possible. Good job!

total creatures born 89. creating highest generation 4. This is a very fun game. it's cool when a wolf is born from a snake and a bull. But a meteorite. It was a surprise for me. at first I started to panic, I thought I had caught a bug. But then I realized that you originally made the end of the game.

Laughed so hard at the premise. Then laughed again when the 'end game state' started. This was a riot, and you should be proud of how fun it plays. Was pretty easy to figure out how to play. Really no complaints at all about this.

A chicken was born from two crocodiles? >.< Are we sure about that? xD Definitely I will go to a zoo, I will speak with the director and I will wait until the creature is born. If it is a chicken I will come back here and pay for this game. :) Really fun! xD

So it was good, and a nice bit of silly fun. I can definitely see it working as a premise for a full release. If I were to suggest an improvement, the algorithm could be improved to increase the probability of potential matches based on what's already on the board - I seemed to struggle to get matches after 2nd generation, don't know if that was intentional or if it was just 50/50 and bad luck.

It was a good bit of fun though, nicely polished, and a nice ending, so thanks for the submission!

That's a nice take on the theme! Was more fun than I expected, and the sex-size-transparency option adds more depth than expected from the first look. I'd cut the meteor animation a few seconds before the game ends, since I sat there for a bit just waiting for the restart button to appear to retry and reach a higher score! Overall a nice submission, well done!

Very cute game! I think I would love to play the full version on my phone!

Very cool game! It is fun and the art looks very nice. I found a bug where if I touched two creatures with one at the same time, it would count for both. I was only able to do it twice though.

Really nice game, humorous ending xD Allthough I´m interested in one thing: Is the resulting sex randomized or determined by the parents?

shizuka 2022-04-07 14:18

hey @kronox, the resulting sex is randomized, on the early stages i considered to make a more complex breeding system, but i choose to go with a more simple aproach in the end

Super unique concept! I have seen several tower defense games, a bunch of shooters, survive the zombies, and such not, but this is the only breeding game I have seen yet! Took me a moment ot figure out I just needed opposite sex of the same generation. I kept waiting for 2 of the same creature type to appear! Bravo

Nice! I would definitely love to see this expanded, maybe abilities for the different animals, regular results for combining them, that sort of thing.

ldjq 2022-04-19 04:07

That ending.

The game fits the theme perfectly, the music is relaxing, and the art appealing. I would like to see an expanded version of this game.
