I recommend downloading it. It has quite a bit of ads and they need to lower the prices for things also just to be nice because this game is fun download it because there’s a dragon coming soon!!!! ### 5/5 — Why *2023-03-12, version 1.7.00* Ok why can they just add the dragon it’s been 2 years and they still didn’t update anything but overall it is a really good game but make sure you have a auto clicker ### 5/5 — NICE *2023-03-10, version 1.7.00* I LOVE THIS ### 5/5 — Lotsa adds… but in a good way. *2023-03-08, version 1.7.00* I really like this game and it’s kinda weird that it’s adds in a good way but overall it’s a great game and I like it a lot ### 3/5 — Good but not goo *2022-12-10, version 1.7.00* It was good when it lasted but I have to wait so long in till the dragon comes out. It took me some time before getting the dog done but after that I was rich and it didn’t take long to make the horse and elegant so I don’t play it anymore. ### 5/5 — So cool!!! *2022-11-23, version 1.7.00* Hi I’m sorry about the long wait ### 5/5 — Please play this game *2022-11-20, version 1.7.00* Love it so much and you barely have to tap ### 5/5 — Great game👌🏻❤️ *2022-10-30, version 1.7.00* This game is amazing and I love it but I feel like it’s been forever since the last update. I’m waiting for the dragon update where you make a dragon 🐉. ### 5/5 — It’s a really good game but *2022-07-23, version 1.7.00* It’s a really fun game but I finished all of the animals and wen is the dragon gonna come out ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The dragon won't come *2023-12-21, version 1.7.00* Please fix this then I will give it 5 stars ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-12-14, version 1.7.00* I hate ads and I hate this game. Do NOT download this! ### 1/5 — “A Short Break” *2023-07-03, version 1.7.00* After EVERY 2 minutes of gameplay you get a popup that says “A Short Break” with a choice of only a 5 second video (which ends up lasting 30 seconds because of all the screen changes and eXing out has 5 second waits) or a 30 second video (which actually takes 30 seconds). There is NO other choice. There is also no way to remove those intrusive pop ups. Too bad because I actually quite liked this game. ### 1/5 — Forced Ads *2023-06-02, version 1.7.00* Forces you to “Take a Break” and watch ads. There is no way to get around it without closing the app. For that, you get one star ### 1/5 — Anatomically inaccurate unplayable adfest *2023-05-12, version 1.7.00* The game requires that you view a mandatory ad every few minutes (either a 5 second ad or a 30 second ad) to continue gameplay. Because this is mandatory, the game is rendered unplayable if there are either no ads to load, or the ads loading causes the game to crash. Collecting DNA from floating sources requires more ads, as is basically every feature. Ads are effectively the pay to play mechanic of this game. For an idle game, the core gameplay loop tends to be rather slow, enough that you're usually coming back to it once every few hours, to give some parts a quick tap, and that will be that. Earning DNA by tapping tends to be worse than useless you have some sort of autoclicker you can set and forget, so the only viable way is the offline time, which is limited to about 1 - 2 hours, with a small fraction of your regular earnings. There are only three creatures as of now (a dog, horse, and elephant), with a fourth being supposedly planned, but given that it has been at least three years since started "coming soon", I doubt that it will ever materialise. For anyone who might want to play the game because they want to look at animal anatomy, you would be sorely disappointed. With the exception of maybe the dog, most of the animals' organs are just resized and/or rotated variants of human organs, and some body parts that should be connected aren't. The veins and arteries don't connect to the heart properly, the brain is just a resized human brain, the lungs seem to be upside down, the "large intestine" body part is just a mass of intestines floating separately above the other intestines (which are already added by the digestive system/small intestine" body part), so on so forth. Admittedly, once you complete the internal organs, you don't have to look at the organ models, since they're covered up by the muscles skin, and you can't look under them. You can't look through them mid-creation, since the inside of the organs is not modelled or rendered. One upside, though, is that this game, unlike similar other games, does put a pretty glowing edge around the body part being created, which is nice touch. It is just a shame about the rest of it. Overall, the game seems to try very hard to keep you out of the game, either by being unplayable, or by bombarding you with enough ads that it's unpleasant to play. The anatomical models aren't too good (although the idea is neat), and if you're here for anatomical accuracy, prepare to be disappointed. For the price (free at the time of writing), there are better things to spend your time on, even within the same genre and type of game. ### 1/5 — ducking retarded *2022-12-23, version 1.7.00* at the beginning it’ll glitch ur screen.. ### 1/5 — Why *2022-11-01, version 1.7.00* I can’t play on it when I go off the app WHY ps I like anatomy ### 1/5 — I have to keep double clicking the home button and swiping up on this game😐😐 *2022-07-10, version 1.7.00* So I really like this game but when it says “short break” I can’t click any ads and there in no x to get out of it. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-04-13, version 1.7.00* I tried to get on the app a couple of days ago, but it crashed whenever I opened it.
