### 4/5 — Amazing app, one small problem currently.

*2026-02-14*

If i could rate half stars, this would get a solid 4.5 stars.

This (game? simulator?) is great because you can make a critter and see it fail over and over, then learn how to do things. (P.S if your creature is shimmying on the ground instead of keeping it's feet below itself, select the joints you don't want touching the ground and give them a large negative point bonus!)

Now, for the problem I have currently: There's a 'tip' screen which keeps popping up saying "Add joints and connect them with bones." Because of this, even zooming in makes this pop up if a joint is not placed on the grid.

9.5/10

### 4/5 — Why can’t I delete the starting creatures?

*2025-12-31*

The whole games great except for one thing! Whenever I delete all the creatures you get when you first download the app (or the frogged symulation you also get), the next time I open the app, they just re-appear! I have no idea why this would happen other then it being intentional coded into the game! So please, just change this!

### 4/5 — This game is great and I have a suggestion.

*2025-11-21, version 4.0.5*

My suggestion for this game is adding a life simulation. Players could decide if their creature is predator or prey, and add them to some kind of terrain. Maybe you could also add water creatures as well.

### 4/5 — Where are feathers

*2025-08-22, version 4.0.2*

One of the pictures shows a creature with feathers but in game I don’t see feathers

### 3/5 — This game needs an obstacle creator or some kind of an obstacle mode

*2025-08-11, version 4.0*

This game is awesome, but I would love to create an obstacle course for my creation to go through. Or maybe just an obstacle mode

### 4/5 — Can you make it free again?

*2025-02-18, version 3.1.0*

It is a good game I got it when it was free but when I tried to get it on my phone it now costed 1.99$ I do not like that it now cost money although it is still is a good game.

### 4/5 — Very good however…

*2024-12-23*

This game is very fun however this may not be on the developers side but I made this complex creature and it freezes at around gen 6-10 this might just be me. However I would definitely recommend it.

### 5/5 — absolutely amazing

*2024-11-29, version 3.1.0*

i love this it’s so fun i love watching little things do stuff but i wish the camera followed better in flying mode bc my little guy is off screen most of the time

### 5/5 — Shwippy shwappy flappy tappy 🙂

*2024-11-16, version 3.1.0*

I love these little skrunkly lil guys 😁very silly very goobert
I love them

### 4/5 — Do a update please this game is so good

*2024-09-21, version 3.1.0*

Please

### 3/5 — Nice but needs work

*2024-08-26, version 3.1.0*

Game crashes every time I try to save but still enjoy the game tho

### 4/5 — The neural network

*2024-08-14, version 3.1.0*

Can you show me the neural network of the creature, like a board of that neural network

### 5/5 — Found a fox for the reason I couldn’t play

*2024-08-07*

It’s been a long time since I played it bc a disappointing bug happened where I couldn’t play. I fixed it, though. I don’t remember back then, so maybe it crashed at a different time. When I came back to try again, I lowered population count and it worked! Please consider trying this if it crashes when the simulation starts, fellow players

### 5/5 — I made a goofy monkey

*2024-07-03, version 3.1.0*

But, developer. Please add actual evolution to body parts. If an animal can’t fly good then in 50 generations it gets more wings. I know this is probably an abandoned project because the last review was 3 years ago. But this game has a lot of potential

### 5/5 — Great game, needs a few additions.

*2024-06-01*

Firstly, I like this games and find it unique. However, I think the creatures should have the ability to get modified during runtime. For example, I would like to change the properties of the bone without needing to reset the neural end of it.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2023-10-29*

Coolio

### 4/5 — Brilliantly clever and educational but an issue:

*2023-10-05*

I love this game, it’s a great way to lean AI machine learning, but when i create a new ‘creature’, sometimes when on the ‘running’ option, the max horizontal distance is jot recorded properly, for example my creature will easily hit 90 metres every iteration, but for some reason the horizontal distance from start’ stat is still stuck on 60 metres when it should be 90. Not sure what’s causing this, maybe that distance is calculated based on an average of all iterations??? But still, it should accurately show the max distance of the best performing iteration, not the average.

### 5/5 — Great game 9/10

*2023-09-09*

Could be better with options for like a certain speed a creature has to got other wise there genes won’t get mixed in 
You select some body parts and those parts can’t touch the floor

### 5/5 — Ideas

*2023-08-18*

1.eyes
2.organs
3.3d rendering
4.cell types
5.ears
6.nose
7.reaction to (blank)
8.gravity
9.the tree of life to show animal branches

### 1/5 — Costs 2 dollars

*2024-02-18, version 3.1.0*

Just make it free

### 1/5 — A/I broken

*2023-06-19, version 3.1.0*

No matter how simple or complex I make the thing it will result to 1 of two outcomes. 1 violently spasming as to vibrate forward or completely stopping (on the climbing) I usually give up around generation 400 or so though … maybe your supposed to let it run for a weak straight? Not sure …

### 1/5 — Refund

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-03-02, version 3.1.0*

### 5/5 — ?

*2025-08-14*

It’s great but how do I access the wing items or feathers, did you remove them
?

**Developer response:** Select a bone with the “Select” tool and then you get the option to turn on wings for that bone.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-06-22, version 3.1.0*

I like evolution

### 5/5 — coolest game ever

*2025-03-25*

never paid for an ios game until i stumbled upon this gem. no regrets, this game is one of a kind. looking forward to more from this developer.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Gooooooooooood!!

*2025-02-23*

PLS GIVE ME MOOOOOOOOOORE.

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2025-01-21, version 3.1.0*

This Is 5 Stars, But Also Can You Add Skin In The Game? Developers And Make It So You Can Control The Creature If It Can’t Learn? Because It Will Be awesome!

### 5/5 — Great life simulation and evolution game

*2025-01-08, version 3.1.0*

This game is extremely underrated, it’s simple fun being able to make whatever you think of.

### 5/5 — Can you add one more task type?

*2025-01-02*

So the task type I think would be interesting is gliding basically it’s to get as far as you possibly can from a set hight and this would kind merge the running task and flying task also the jumping task needs to have the camera be able to go higher up or just focus on your creature you are observing and the camera follows it also idk if it’s a bug or what but sometimes your creature will find a way to slide on the ground and it literally just barely moves or is just not even moving any thing but just  slides forward idk it’s weird.
