This is an interesting concept, a nice take on the theme.

A bit difficult to actually understand what to do but the breeding was very good, the traits of the two selections really showed, not bad at all

A great game with hilarious looking characters. I ended up playing to make the most ridiculous looking one possible.

Great work! The AI was frustratingly dumb, but I love the ideas here. Reminds me of the Yoshi racing in Mario RPG. It would be great if you could have some influence during the race similar to that (in Mario RPG you could give cookies to speed up your racer, but you had a limited supply)

It's not easy to make the good choice but the main idea is brillant. Really fit the theme.

Loved it. Look good and funny. And the best take on evolution (for me) I have seen so far.

It was a nice take on the theme, but the game itself was too buggy. If I press 0 the music mutes, sometimes I win big and have 2000$ but after betting and losing 50$ I end up with 200$ after 2 races. Also, it's the "son" doesn't always show up, making the breeding stage useless.
