Cool idea! Interested to see what more you add. I like the sound of everything on your thats all screen. I think it could be cool to potentially allow for multiple offspring per pairing, maybe as a modifier the added chances at chaos could be fun in the gene pool. I loved the presentation thats there, everything looked super slick and I liked the UI transitions and the growing animation a lot.

A neat idea, built with amazing ui and sound design Lots of potential to evolve (hehe) the game Tbh the offspring stats seemed basically random, so maybe more clarity around where the offspring gets its stats from would help make it feel less aimless

Really nice concept. I'm a bit confused with how to haverst correct human but that made it pretty realistic. Sound design and art are really cool.

@vinzbad Thank you. They are from my old projects. Usually I take sounds from freesound.org.

@v0odo0 Carrot take time, it's only been a day x) We can talk about your carrot in a week or two!

Clean entry ! It's kind of sad to see your superhuman, or what you thought was THE SUPERHUMAN, drop to 0 in the next generation.
Clever idea and well executed, congrats.

Nice idea! It seems like I'm getting women too often maybe?

@arscene Yeah it's simple random without any perks. Absolute EVO gives the chance to get a bit better stats. But only the chance.
@roblaro Thanks. Acutally it is simple 50% random.

I don't totally understand this game, but I believe there something interesting in the game concept. I like the visuals and the idea making super humans is interesting.

Really like the mood/feel of this. Clean simple graphics + somehow dark :D theme = perfection. Overall I think it has huge potential if you keep developing it. Good job! :thumbsup:
I liked the idea, art and sound effects. I don't think I quite grasped the mechanics but definitely looks promising!
Very cool idea. Too hard for me tho ;<
Very interesting game concept, I hope you will elaborate and expand on it! Love the hand-drawn style of the interface, too, well done!
I like the way the UI is presented - very clean. The base idea of selectively breeding humans is a little icky, if I'm honest, and I'm guessing you didn't have time to implement all the mechanics you wanted to.

@john-gabriel Thanks! You're right. I didn't even have time to polish the base stats distribution logic unfortunately.
You guys mention the potential. That is inspirational!
Oh, imagine you know about your goal within 10 sec of gameplay... Sounds simple at first but ending up spending hours on achievieng it diving deeply into mutations, stats distribution, perks combinations etc.

That is a kind of game i could dig myself into for hours.
This is a simple concept, but with a lot of depth, simple graphics, but so readable, sound design is great (you don't need a lot to make it work).
Well done.

Nice concept however there is a lack of objectifs to make me continue to play
Love the concept, and the UI felt very nice for a jam game, excellent work on that. However, your game has taught me one lesson; no matter how great two people are at literally everything, they can always produce a -15 intelligence piece of garbage. I would recommend this to anyone who has a little *too* much faith in humanity. Great work!

I liked the concept. I managed to get one combination with burst and decent stats.
A game where you have all things you listed would be quite neat. But I do think some kind of objective would be needed for it to keep me interested for more than a couple of minutes.
That art style is so cool. It really feels scoped for a gamejam, but at the same time polished and beautiful in its minimalism
Very interesting concept, though the whole thing feels a bit opaque, making it hard to figure out what strategy to use...
I really love that minimalistic artstyle
Really nice UI and sound. But I couldn't figure out the end goal. I messed around a bit but felt lost.
I lost the track of time while I was trying to breed super human :) Great concept, art, and sound. So satisfying..

the concept and UI looked very promising. I love the little animation when creating new human. After a few attempts I noticed though that I was not really making progress. I tried saving up good humans to only breed with other good ones on the other side, but that also didn't really work out. I didn't even get close to 100 and ended up completely reset to start from the beginning again. Just a little bit more of controllable progression, balancing and a variety of attributes would make it really nice and addicting game. i would be excited to try breeding the superhuman :)
