The style is fantastic. Everything fits together so nicely, the art, the sound, the feedback- so cohesive. Very nice : )

Great pacing. I locked in for a sec there

Seeing the random generated creatures is fun. Nice artwork!

Love the art and design of the creatures! The music was excellent too. I liked how the music got more and more intense as you progressed. Everything felt really nicely polished. The game loop itself felt a bit simple at times. I found myself focusing more on the selection part menu, racing against time instead of getting to appreciate the charming and funny characters. There's a unique appeal in creating your own little chimera, but the gameplay of matching the CPU's design and then quickly discarding it to progress kind of took away from that 'design-a-monster' charm. It might be worth exploring ways to let players enjoy their creations a bit more before moving on. Really nice game overall tho!

Nice vibe, I have to admit... I ended creating monsters just for fun, without paying attention to the objective ! :D

The art style was so nice! The music and sound effects fit so well with the overall game. It was also such a good idea for the theme. Really fun to play!

Absolutely love the art style, the story is quite simple but really efficient and it's so satisfying to create these chimera !! Well done !

Pretty fun match puzzle game, wish there was more variety in gameplay

This game is such a charming little experience! The art style and overall vibe are fantastic, with the cute and quirky creature designs being a highlight. The music and sound effects fit perfectly and really add to the atmosphere. I found myself enjoying the process of assembling chimeras, even when racing against the clock. It does feel like the gameplay could use a bit more variety or maybe even some extra features to keep things fresh for longer sessions. Overall, it's a delightful and polished game that’s super fun to play! Great job!

My personal record is seven, which, I am aware of, is not much. As it has already been said, the art style is very well put together, the tutorial (that I don't usually like by the way) was very clean and effective, and the overall game feels complete and polished.

I felt that by the end, when you loose once you will just keep on loosing. Since you weren't fast enough the first time, there is no reason that you will be faster the second time, especially with the "oh wait I just lost" moment making you loose a few precious seconds. I don't really have Ideas on how to improve this though, maybe a "retry" button that the player has to click to continue, hallowing him time to re-focus as much as he wants? But then it disrupts the "factory pressure" vibes...

Also, the music is nice, but in loops after a while it starts to feel weird, maybe as the music speeds up, the melody could tone down, and the beats starts to take all the place, putting emphasis one the players monotonous life as a factory worker! And the creature could get wierder and wierder! And then the big multinational buys the place and tells you that you will keep your job! But actually makes your life horrible so your only option is to leave the factory yourself! Rendering your tiny creature creation skills, that you put a lot of effort into improving, completely useless :(

Anyway, good job!

Very cute! It's fun to make such bizarre chimeras.

My biggest problem is there are many unneeded clicks on the tabs. The tabs could progress automatically without me having to click the buttons.

Cute concept, loved building new creatures haha. And great variety as well!
