## What is Creature Crafter?

Create your own creatures to explore online worlds with friends and collect new parts to upgrade your stats and abilities! Complete quests, battle enemies, challenge friends to minigames, or just have fun roleplaying — the possibilities are endless when your imagination is the limit!

The core gameplay loop involves constructing creatures to explore hand-crafted worlds and collecting body parts and patterns to further upgrade your creature. You can then use your newly acquired abilities to complete quests to earn cash and re-invest into your creature. If you’re just interested in creating creatures, however, then simply switch over to creative mode and everything will already be unlocked!

The creation tool consists of three different modes:
● BUILD: Customize the shape of your creature by manipulating its spine and attaching transformable body parts. Altering your creature then changes its statistics (e.g., weight, speed, health etc.) and attaching certain body parts gives it special abilities (e.g., flying, swimming, biting etc.).
● PAINT: Change the color of your creature’s body and attached body parts, as well as the pattern and texture of your creature’s skin.
● PLAY: When you’re finished designing your creature, you can bring it to life! Traverse lush forests, swim in the ocean or fly high above the clouds — your creature will procedurally animate to adapt to its environment.

### 2/5 — Not good can’t build real good stuff

*2026-08-19, version 1.9.1*

This game is really bad in my opinion because it is no we’re like spore.

### 5/5 — Review of a new body part and pattern

*2026-08-19, version 1.9.1*

Hello, I’m gonna have a review of a new body part and pattern, the shark head and shark pattern But I like it five star rating⭐️

### 4/5 — There’s three problems that I have with this game…

*2026-08-18, version 1.9.1*

1. WHY DOES IT CRASH SO MUCH ON MOBILE?!!?

2. This ‘profanity detector’ feature is EXTREMELY broken. One time I typed a sentence ending in ‘??!!’ in the chat, and it didn’t let me send it because ApPaReNtAlLy ‘??!!’ iS a CuSs WoRd!!1!!1!1!1!1!1!!! Also ‘GOD’ SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED PROFANITY!!!

3. Whats with this ‘text limit’ thing?? WHY CAN I ONLY TYPE 32 CHARACTERS WHILE CHATTING??!! That’s NOTHING, I tell you! NOTHING!!!

O- oh my… sorry for being so harsh…

Look, I adore this game as much as the next person, and I’ve loved it for few years now. (I got the expansion pack in that time, although why was it $4.99??) It’s just the fact that THOSE THREE ISSUES EXIST. Please, all I want is for you to fix at least ONE of those issues sometime soon. There’s already been a bajillion updates, so I expected one of those issues to be fixed by now… 

Also, an idea that I had:

Ik that this would be really hard to code, but I think It’d be really cool if you could customize your walking, jumping, and/or swimming animation. Maybe using the system that they use to make most 3d movies, where one frame transitions to the next? You don’t have to implement this, but I think that It’d be nice for customization…

When I wait when it says please wait and I wait it still doesn’t let me join

### 4/5 — Needs controller

*2026-08-15, version 1.9.1*

You need to add the feature of using a Xbox or remote via Bluetooth

### 5/5 — This Game is SICK

*2026-08-12, version 1.9.0*

Yes, it is very cool and fun. Thing is, though, there are some bugs that drive me insane. If you are Daniel Lochner, the creator of this game, PLEASE consider to try to fix these bugs. As I said, they drive me insane.

On the other hand, this game rocks! There are such cool creatures you can make and download.

### 5/5 — Like

*2026-08-11, version 1.8.12*

This game is similar to spore but it’s awesome

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2026-08-09, version 1.8.12*

I really loved it. It was pretty good. I love the multiplayer and friends, but there’s just one glitch and bug. They’re very annoyed me it was about the factory and it would never load a lot. I don’t know why.

### 5/5 — Pls fix but love ur game

*2026-08-09*

I love creature crafter, (previously creature creator) but there is something I hate about the save slots. I’m on iOS so when I try to click the button to show the other creations, I always have to click my dang exit thingy (forgot the name of it) and sometimes it just makes me leave. So please, add an option to flip it horizontally or vertically in settings. So that’s what I say. Plus fix the modded parts/maps so I can join because it won’t let me and just makes me wait to get the parts and even if it’s at 100% downloaded it doesn’t move on to the next AND if it does, when I try to join, it says the same thing, to download it when I just did.

### 3/5 — My username will not work

*2026-08-08, version 1.8.12*

I log in and I see one of my friends on line and I try to join but my username doesn’t show at all please fix it but I love the game
