Hidden gem

I stumbled into this game and while the gameplay is very “text based” and there aren’t really graphics to speak of, the concept is very fun. I love genetics and breeding games. This has a complex breeding system with discoverable traits. You care for you creatures, enter them into contests, and unlock achievements. There is a Discord server where devs listen and respond promptly. I proposed a suggestion to the game and within 2 days, the change was made and inplemented into an update in the app store. I love to support small games that have dedicated devs. Keep up the good work!

So, this morning when I opened the app, it stayed on the loading screen. Just staying there. I restarted my iPad many times, but it still stayed there. Yesterday, it was do just fine though. I hope you guys have a good day/night, and that you can fix this! Also, I don’t have, discord, and I can’t, I’m 11.😭☹️

Opinion on the Redesign 12/11/25

I love this game, and have loved it since the first second I played it. I’ll probably never delete it off my phone because I really do enjoy this developers idea. I was surprised by the redesign, and the colorful loading screen/backgrounds made me smile. I laughed really hard at the deer design, it seems the animals are in a very rudimentary geometric design now. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds. I really only have two concerns. One of them being that the loading screen looks nothing like the models and I don’t support AI image generating models. I wouldn’t boycott this dev over it because of how much effort they’ve put in the game, makes this point kind of moot, but it unsettles me and I implore to steer as far away from image generation ai models as much as possible for the sake of art. Let alone how detrimental ai is to the environment, but I digress. My only other concern is that my game keeps crashing now that I have over 5 animals I can’t check on them at all!

Please Release Old Version

The use of ai is very disappointing. At least while the old layout was outdated, it had charm and effort compared to the cheap out ai art. Speaking of art, what happened to the cute animals? Now they’re nothing but shapes! I’d prefer a stagnant, cute art than to have the animations. Please release older versions and the nice art.

Response from developer

The old version was not scalable. There was no way to add more animals and features that would make everyone happy. We are truly sorry that you are not enjoying this new version. We hope you will grow to love this version as you did the older one. We thank you for your support.

Solid Game

Very nice genetics game, really the only one quite like this iv found. It seems very old fashioned with how it’s designed but it still functions well with minimal problems. I did have a glitch occur where I had no animals rummaging but it still said I had the max amount going. I think it may be because they died while they were rummaging but I still can’t get them to do it anymore. When my animals are pregnant too the timer will run out and there is still no baby which I don’t understand. Otherwise it’s a very good game and I would recommend it.

Edit: How do I auction off animals?? I put in numbers in the 3 rows that pop up but it won’t let me submit it or anything.
