I like this game because it has tons of parts to make abominations,and even though my creatures are disappearing for no reason,I think it is happening because of starving to death in the game btw,I would like to see more parts for the next update

Gets dull after a while

Fun but there’s not really anything to do besides create animals and race

It’s great, but…

I like it it’s just that can you add more limbs that you can make animals out of if you don’t wanna do it. That’s fine with me.
