Wacky Genes User Reviews

Top reviews

I want to play this game so bad!

But on my iPhone the bottom five buttons that are supposed to be there are cut off from the screen, making it pretty unplayable since I can’t get to the store, my animals, or really anything. :( I do have an older iPhone (SE) so that might be why.

Response from developer

Try the newest version that we just released this morning. It will work on your phone, since we did a complete UI redesign! If it works will you edit your review? Thank you for your interest in our game. 🙂

Wish this worked

I didn't even get to play the game because of a screen sizing issue, so I deleted it and re-installed it but it still didn't work. Because of this I couldn't go to anything other than the eggs and auction house.

Response from developer

We've fixed the issue with iPhone SE users not being able to play the game. There shouldn't be any "sizing" issues now.

Real Gene Representation, Potential future

This game is exactly what I want in a breeding game. I want the genes. I want the little alleles numbers and I love that this game has that! I see from dev responses they are working to improve the game visually. I’m excited! Atm, it’s cute simple art, but definitely comes off as “WIP” but that’s because- it is. BUG: The discord link in game was posted as a temporary invite I believe, and is expired. Look into getting a permanent link from that discord and insert into that button so people who are interested can come support the game’s community! I cannot wait to see what this game becomes! Thank you for making this sort of game a reality thus far!

Thank you for the positive review! We will work on getting the discord link working permanently.

Overall loving it

Could use some updates like more species and activities but I love the concept and creative creatures.

Potential

This game has plenty of potential! Sadly this game doesn’t have a discord server and the layout of the game doesn’t look modern. The solid color background and simple graphics when you switch between the store to anything else is very…old school looking. It makes me think the developer is simply testing whether others would like this type of game or not. Yes, there are at least 5,000 people out there that would LOVE this game (if it were discoverable or collaborated with the 3 top online games of this genre which everyone *cough* Lioden *cough*). Hope this game is further developed in looks and misc, it’s the second game in this genre on mobile. Good luck developer!

Thank you for the positive review! We are continuing to develop this game and add more features and graphics. We do appreciate your feedback and input, and find it to be very valuable. Discord is coming soon! 😎

A Favorite!

This game is one of my absolute favorites, but there definitely need to be more species of animals. Here’s some ideas to add possibly: maybe genetic mutations to how they look other than colors and patterns? Like, variants to deerog antlers, different mane types for Miouses, different Lizard types for Bearzards, different wing types/fur types for Owlats, etc. we should also be able to sell our animals to an npc to get more money, along with the auction.

Thank you so much for the positive review and feedback! We are currently working on a new species of animal. And there are some plans to add variants to the way the animals look through their genetics as well as some accessories. Keep an eye out for these new features! 😎

Me and my fiance love it

This is exactly the kind of game I’ve wanted my whole life! I love it so much I hope I can support the development bc this is so cool <3333

Response from developer

We are very happy that you are enjoying the game! Thank you for the positive review!

Unique and super fun!

Super fun. I am obsessed with genetics and came across this wonder! However, there definitely needs to be a better guide. The guide barely works in my phone, some pages I cannot click to progress through the text. I also currently have no idea how to get more coins. It will not let me purchase any (I go into the coin shop, and when you click the coins, no matter the amount, just nothing pops up! The page stays the same and there is no option.) and I have yet to be told in the guide how to get more! 😵‍💫

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We will address the coins issue in the release coming out today! We appreciate your positive review and we are working diligently to improve the game. 🙂 In the coin shop you tap the "$" amount and it "should" prompt you to purchase. We will also make it so you can tap the "coin" to purchase more! 🙂

Interesting, but better guide to start off.

I'm in love with the simple UI and visuals, and the genetics are, to my knowledge, pretty on point! I'd like a better guide to the game itself, explaining more into some of the mechanics than just the animals and such. Other than that, it's fun!

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive review! We are releasing a new version with a UI redesign, we hope you will still love it. We are also working on a better guide (missing from the redesign).

Amateur

Bare-bones content, UI looks like it's from the early 90's, incompetent artwork, and the whole thing is riddled with spelling errors. Species concepts and descriptions are insultingly childish, but genotypes are represented with realistic abbreviations that few children would understand or enjoy.
The fantastic creatures are simplistic two-species hybrids of real animals premade by the dev(s). You cannot mix them or change their appearance in any meaningful way to create your own.

Response from developer

Thank you for your honest review. We are releasing a new redesigned version, and it is meant to be very simplistic and the spelling errors are also by design. Your suggestion about allowing the mixing of animals is valid and awesome! We will consider adding that in a future release!
