Missing something

I loved niche for so many years and I knew this app would be a simplified version of that, however it got repetitive so quick. The breeding and genetics aren’t as exciting, and it feels weird that there’s no consequences for inbreeding so anyone breeds with anyone. You don’t necessarily lose your nichlings either unless you send them away so it feels like there’s no challenge.

An exercise in selective breeding

It’s a rather good game if you’re planning to breed animals, but it doesn’t have any consequences for inbreeding so my niecelings ended up being so inbred the reason I say it’s selective breeding is that the game sets the goal you have to figure out how to meet that goal and then you have to meet that goal and it can take quite a while

Hi for devs

Hi I’m 14 and I love the game it works great and I’ve always loved niche but I’m at the snow island and I would love if you added more biomes like the swamp or water biomes but other than that I love this game and the non mobile version thanks
