I absolutely love this game. When I have time to play there is plenty to do and I’m not punished by running out of currency. I watch ads to get perks but I love that it’s my choice and not forced on me. I’m a new mom and the game is forgiving if I can’t pay close attention but easy to play one handed while baby naps.
The art is adorable and the colors and patterns are so fun.
The only things I would like to see are not deal breakers but would be nice quality of life for collectors. The colors are sometimes difficult to differentiate, so names for the collectibles on the collections tabs could help identify them. A collection page for the pattern colors would be useful too. There is no way of knowing how many pattern colors exist and when an egg hatches the game doesn’t indicate if the pattern colors are new. Names for the skins would help notify if certain skins are part of a series, too.
Finally, it would be nice if we could have a way to hatch dinos with patterns or colors we have collected but accidentally lost. I would be more than willing to use bones to purchase such eggs and would accept long hatch times just to get those collectibles back!
Overall, it’s a wonderful game that I am so glad to have found.

Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing your love for the game and providing detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that you find the game enjoyable and forgiving, especially with your responsibilities as a new mom. It's great to know that the game's design allows for relaxed and enjoyable playtime.
We appreciate your suggestions regarding color differentiation and collection management:
1. **Color Names**: We are planning to add names for colors in an upcoming update to help players better identify and differentiate them.
2. **Pattern Color Collection**: We will also introduce a collection page for pattern colors in the collection book, which will help you keep track of what you have and what you're missing.
3. **Retrieving Lost Collectibles**: We're considering implementing a special event where players can reclaim lost mutants. We suggest saving up pheromones in anticipation of these opportunities.
Your input is invaluable as we strive to enhance the gameplay experience and make it even more enjoyable for everyone. We're thrilled that the game has become a part of your daily routine, and we're committed to supporting your journey in the game.
Thank you once again for playing and for your thoughtful suggestions. We look forward to bringing these improvements to life and continuing to provide an enjoyable experience for you and all our players.

mondayoffThe moment I open it it crashes, it does it so fast I haven’t even seen the LOADING SCREEN yet! I have tried deleting and reinstalling and have deleted several other games, photos, and videos, and it still wont WORK! This has happened to me only ONCE before and it took MONTHS for me to actually be able to LOAD THE GAME I gave it five stars becuase it demanded a rating and I have no reason to think the game is bad

Hello,
We're really sorry to hear that you're experiencing such severe crashing issues with the game. It's certainly frustrating not to be able to even reach the loading screen, and we want to resolve this as quickly as possible for you.
Could you please send us a video of what happens when you try to open the game, along with details about your device (such as model, operating system version, and any recent updates it's undergone) to our support email at dino.need.support@mondayoff.me? This information will help us diagnose the issue more accurately.
We understand how disappointing it is to face these technical issues, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to fix this for you. Thank you for reaching out, and we look forward to getting you back to playing as soon as possible.
Best regards,
mondayoffI can’t recall ever leaving a review for a game before, but I am enjoying my time playing this game!
Some of the best parts in my opinion are:
-No forced ads
-There are boosts and other things you can buy to speed up gameplay, but they’re not necessary.
-Finding new Dino skins and accessories feels good, they happen naturally at a good enough pace (coming from someone that prefers higher stats over esthetics though)
A few quality of life improvements I’d like to suggest are:
-being able to see the parents of an egg after it’s on the hatch screen (it’s nice seeing this before you hatch an egg, but it would be ever more useful when trying to determine whether to banish or keep a child when their stats are visible)
-being able to see how many hunting parties are out on the UI it’s self on the food gathering view instead of in the middle of the area. You can’t always see when a hunting party returns if you’re scrolled a ways away from the nest.
-I’m sure this is balanced this way on purpose, but when using golden tickets to advance a baby’s age, it feels weird having to use several tickets. Maybe having it take off a percentage instead of a certain length of time would feel better. I can’t complain about this too much as these tickets can be obtained for free through natural gameplay.
Thank you for not having forced ads, I wouldn’t be playing the game if there were forced ads in the game.
Great job on the game!

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and constructive review. It's fantastic to hear that you are enjoying the game and appreciate the ad-free experience and the pacing of rewards. We strive to create a balanced and enjoyable environment for all our players, so your feedback is extremely valuable to us.
We appreciate your suggestions for quality of life improvements:
1. **Parent Details on Hatch Screen**: Adding visibility of an egg's parent details on the hatch screen is a great idea. It would indeed help in making more informed decisions about whether to keep or banish a dinosaur based on its stats and lineage.
2. **Visibility of Hunting Parties**: We understand the importance of knowing when your hunting parties return, especially when you're actively managing food resources. We'll consider ways to make this information more visible on the main UI so that it's accessible regardless of your screen position.
Your enjoyment and insights are crucial to us, and we are glad that the non-intrusive ad approach is something that enhances your gaming experience. We will continue to work on making the game better and more enjoyable with each update.
Thank, you once again for your thoughtful suggestions and for playing our game. We hope to continue making your gaming experience enjoyable and fulfilling.

mondayoffI started playing this game a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, I’m addicted! I love the idea of genetics with breeding, and all the silly patterns, hats, and colors! There are so many interesting concepts in this game, and enjoyable challenges! I’ve joined the discord for the game and everyone is so kind and helpful. There are constantly updates and maintenance to keep the game running smoothly! I recommend getting this game, it’s truly great on all levels.

mondayoffThis is my second review and overall this game is just awesome, it’s incredible fun, and the community is great, and I hope they the world chat stays for good because it is such a nice addition. There is just one thing that I would like to be added: a ban report. I got chat banned and so did many others after a political but joking conversation, and I totally understand why I got banned, but others don’t. Also I like the way the chat bans are setup, it’s simple and effective.
Keep up the great work and I hope this game thrives in the future.

Hello,
Thank you for your second review and your continued support for the game! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the game and appreciate the community aspect, especially the world chat. It's great to know that this feature is positively impacting your gaming experience.
Regarding the chat ban system, we appreciate your understanding and constructive feedback. Temporary bans are indeed intended as a warning to guide the conversation back to respectful and inclusive dialogue. We realize that political or joking conversations can sometimes cross lines unintentionally, and it's important that all community members understand the reasons behind moderation actions.
If you or others feel that a ban was not warranted or if it escalates to a permanent ban, we encourage you to reach out to us via email at dino.need.support@mondayoff.me. We are committed to fair and transparent moderation, and we review each case thoroughly to ensure that our community standards are upheld consistently.
We're excited about the future of the game and are grateful for your kind words and suggestions. Your input helps us make the game better for everyone.
Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to bringing you more fun and engaging content in the future.

mondayoffI am super picky about mobile games. I much prefer to breakout a game console and get immersed. “Idle” games are especially frustrating for me…
Not this game. I have been obsessed since I downloaded it.
My biggest complaints with idle games that are not present in this game:
1. Paywall. There is no “wait 24 hours or pay us $5” involved here, you have a lot of control over how idle you want the game to be.
2. Ad breaks. The game NEVER forces you to watch an ad. Ads are presented as an alternative to their “gold tickets” - a resource you sparingly receive, used mostly to speed up aspects of the game. You can choose to watch ads in place of using the tickets. You CHOOSE if you want to see ads.
3. Global chat. There is a genuinely useful global chat feature. Any question or issue you run into can immediately be solved in the global chat. The community and active player base is positive and supportive.
This game is still in a beta limbo (as of May 31st, 2024), but the developers communicate SO well within the game whenever a change is made or a glitch needs to be patched.
There is also no in game reward or in game pressure to write a review. I am fully going out of my way to write this. I never give reviews for games - mobile, console, pc, etc - but I am genuinely in love with this one!

mondayoffLegitimately have been playing non stop the past few weeks. After almost reaching level 500, I figured I’d leave a review.
Devs are super attentive and keep the community updated at every corner, the game continued to evolve in a positive manner. Global chat content is iffy, but that’s any global chat and devs do a good job of responding to most reports. Outside of a few shaky scenarios with interpersonal drama within the game, the community is pretty cool! The leveling mechanic rewards both the passive and active player and as you level up you travel through different islands. Questions are usually answered by chat in a quick manner but their discord is also incredibly helpful. Pleasantly surprised at the pace and attentiveness and eager to play more! It scratches my autistic Dino itch and is a chill game to help me relax while giving me a fun mutation game to play. I’m unsure where the p2w aspect is coming from, you can easily level at a slower pace without paying.
I’m one of the Sam’s in the game, so if you stop by make sure to say hi!

mondayoffI discovered this game recently and am already hooked. Actually hoping that some day there’s versions with other critters to breed besides T-Rexes! Like a feathered raptor or a sabertooth. Imagine being able to breed a sabertooth to have features like different mythical cats!
I look forward to watching this game’s development and wish I wasn’t poor so I could buy a bunch of golden tickets to make my baby rexes mature faster! The only thing that could make it better is offline mode or trading dinos!

Hello,
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and creative ideas! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the game and that it has captured your imagination. Expanding the range of creatures in the game, like adding feathered raptors or sabertooths, is a fantastic suggestion and definitely something that could add an exciting dimension to the breeding mechanics.

We appreciate your interest in the development of the game and your ideas for features like offline mode and dino trading. These suggestions align well with our vision of continually enhancing the game and providing more depth and interactivity to our community.

mondayoff TeamHi, I recently installed this game and I have been addicted to it. It really is a good balance of waiting and playing. However, I am still new to the game and I don’t know if this is a bug or I am just doing something wrong, but I banished all of my dino’s that had different colors/ patterns on their body and I am only left with white ones. The issue is, I can’t get any more mutations in their appearance. I have been stuck with the base dino’s and I can not hatch mutated appearances. Is there any way to fix this? I have been breeding for a good six hours with my base dino’s and have gotten no mutated appearances.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the game! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying it and find the balance between waiting and playing appealing. Regarding the issue with not seeing new mutations in your dinosaurs' appearances, we can certainly help guide you.
Mutations in appearance can sometimes be elusive, especially if you've unintentionally limited your genetic pool by banishing dinos with unique colors or patterns. Here are a few tips to help you increase the chances of getting mutations:
1. **Preserve Diverse Genetics:** It's beneficial to keep a diverse range of dinosaurs, especially those with different colors and patterns. This helps to maintain a wider genetic pool which increases the chances of mutations. Consider using the "favorite" feature to mark dinosaurs with unique traits so you don't accidentally banish them.
2. **Hatch Eggs from Nests:** Continue to hatch eggs regularly from your nests. The more eggs you hatch, the higher your chances of encountering a mutation.
3. **Loot Eggs from the Hunting Map:** A more direct approach to acquiring mutations is to steal eggs from the hunting map. Eggs obtained from this method often have a higher probability of mutations.
If you feel that there may still be a bug affecting your game, such as mutations not appearing over an extended period despite varied breeding practices, please reach out to our support team at dino.need.support@mondayoff.me. Provide them with details of what you've experienced, and they will assist you further.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and for being part of our community. We hope these tips help you to start seeing more varied and interesting dinosaurs in your game soon!
Best regards,
mondayoffIm never the type to leave a review but I love this game. Its so fun. The concept, design, and layout of this game is so cool.
I am curious if in the future we can maybe make a dark mode. I love playing late at night and sometimes even with the brightness all the way down its a little bright. Having light colored eyes makes me sensitive to bright light, and wondered if that could be something introduced?
I don’t know anything about making games, and hope its not too hard it would be wonderful if you could bring that option to the game. Thank you guys for making a awesome game!
