It actually really great!
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
This is super cute
I just wanted to do another review.
The cutest things: if your nicheling has shortsighted eyes it’s eyes wil be a little higher. If you have a platypus beak (dominant) it’s super cute.
BUT the survival and strategy game is a little more fun.

Great game
This is an Awsome mobile game. Would love to see more updates adding new game mechanics or different gene possibilities . Would also love to see more space added for new animals.
Note- yes this game is not like pc niche. But for the mobile version I think this is a great game and worth investment

Could you add a family tree? Please?
Nothing like the original
The original desktop game is great and I've been playing it for years. It's my favorite game on Steam.
Sadly, this is nothing like the original and it's really slow. I don't enjoy it

Very different than desktop, still like
Similar to, but not identical to the desk top game. Definitely a lot more waiting than desktop. The premise is the same but game play is very different. I still like it
Great game
Love the game please update the game please please please.
Please continue updating!
I absolutely love this game, but I wish there were more environments and such, and maybe new genetics. I love both this game and the original niche game❤️ one thing that would make me and probably many others happy in the future is a possible mobile port of the pc/switch version, since the strategy is what drew me to the game as well as the genetics. I’ll still play this along with the other version, as both are enjoyable in their own right

Highly recommended! Super Fun Mobile Adaptation!
While some aspects of the game could use some better explanations or instructions like for example - what effect does the perception stat even have on the foraging - the game’s so simple that trial and error will suffice for figuring out much of the mechanics even if all is not entirely clear. The game itself is simple yet has a super fun gameplay loop free of any in-app purchases where you breed to get the traits you want using the principles of real genetics and then you send your nichlings out to gather food by themselves or help them in a cool strategic minigame where you control your entire party of nichlings to gather as much food as possible and make it to the end goal in as little turns as possible. There’s a surprising amount of locations to explore, but I feel a bit underwhelmed on how many genes there are and would love to see even more locations and genes added even if the genes are only cosmetic. Another feature I’d like to see is a notebook feature where we can mark our predictions and conclusions on whether we think a specific gene is dominant, recessive, or co-dominant so that we can compile this information ourselves during gameplay and can easily reference it again for our breeding projects. Highly recommended and worth the price! This game has given me hours of fun and it reminds me of an addictive free-to-play game in it’s appealing gameplay mechanics and ease to pick up and play but without all the horrible in-app purchases that will drain you dry. If you like or find appealing breeding, genetics, simple turn based strategy games or puzzles where you need to optimize, or management games, you’ll probably enjoy this game too!

Great game!
This game is really fun. You breed your nichelings to be able to gather food successfully from the food mini game. The difficulty slowly rises forever and you just keep breeding stronger and stronger nichelings to compensate. I now try to breed for specific colors and patterns while continuing to breed their stats higher.
I just pop in anytime and set up the next breeding or gather some food with the mini game. I like how respectful the game is of my time.
The only downside is the devs have not released new content for it in a long time. Since it is pay once I think they are not financially motivated! However I would gladly give them my money if they offered an expansion with some additional islands and new genetic traits.

Response from developer
Thank you for your review! We can't promise anything but we'd love to add some more islands in the future!

Very engaging. Would be 5 stars, but while the game says there's more content to come, there hasn't been an update in 2 years. It's not even finished. The game is still good as it is, but seriously.
Fun but needs QOL upgrades
I’ve been playing this for several days and it is fun, but I am frustrated with trying to keep all of my breeding goals straight to unlock new levels. There are a few easy quality of life updates that would help a lot.
1. Tell me the parents of each nichling. Since it takes time for pregnancy, I sometimes lose track of the breeding and it would be helpful to have that info. That should be easy to add.
2. Allow me to move nichlings to different positions within an island. I would like to organize them by biome to make hunting and breeding easier.
3. A little harder, but it would be nice to have the notebook update with previously discovered dominance relationships. It is hard to make breeding decisions without having this recorded in-app.
I am enjoying the game, but would love the chance to enjoy it more 😊

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE THIS GAME AGAIN I LOVE IT
Not the best game…
To be honest I kinda wanted it to be like the pc version, this version is kinda disappointing. A lot of the function in the game aren’t here and there it’s no unique genetics, aka, Wings, fins, Etc. But most disappointingly no sandbox mod, DO NOT PURCHASE IF YOU WANT THE THINGS MENTIONED. I guess I’ll just wait for the pc price to go down,

Good app!
It's really fun, but once when I wanted to go on patrol thingie (idk what you call it) and there was white animals with horns where there should be empty slots and when I selected the nichelings and tried to start the mini game, it didn't let me.
Hope you fix this!
Hope you fix this!
scratches the itch, but lacking
i have problems with petting my nichelings so much, especially when im selectively breeding them so much especially when finding new genes that theyll end up thrown out or retired before they could start benefiting me, that and i just have arthritis..so… yeah.
You can also get abit soft locked if you level up an area too much that your nichelings cant even get food from it, like i managed to get level 20+ nichlings going on the first island, i have the frost island now but now i just have my forest island nichlings running through level 0 island area for food because its just more profitable than the high level biomes
but, all that aside ive been opening the app and breeding more and all for days since i bought the app, and it had me revisit the pc version that is just far superior quite abit. Unrelated but im also a big fan of wandering village too lol, i hope if you guys made a mobile version for it aswell after finishing its development that itll be more true to the original if not just a nice direct port unlike this app, which is still nice atleast, and i hope it can get some tlc some day
