Nice idea!

This is great! I love how you intuitively start sorting them out by gender and size, making it a pretty creative challenge. Very satisfying to try to breed a creature as big as possible. Good job!

total creatures born 89.
creating highest generation 4.
This is a very fun game. it's cool when a wolf is born from a snake and a bull. But a meteorite. It was a surprise for me. at first I started to panic, I thought I had caught a bug. But then I realized that you originally made the end of the game.

Laughed so hard at the premise. Then laughed again when the 'end game state' started. This was a riot, and you should be proud of how fun it plays. Was pretty easy to figure out how to play. Really no complaints at all about this.

A chicken was born from two crocodiles? >.

So it was good, and a nice bit of silly fun. I can definitely see it working as a premise for a full release. If I were to suggest an improvement, the algorithm could be improved to increase the probability of potential matches based on what's already on the board - I seemed to struggle to get matches after 2nd generation, don't know if that was intentional or if it was just 50/50 and bad luck.

It was a good bit of fun though, nicely polished, and a nice ending, so thanks for the submission!

That's a nice take on the theme! Was more fun than I expected, and the sex-size-transparency option adds more depth than expected from the first look.
I'd cut the meteor animation a few seconds before the game ends, since I sat there for a bit just waiting for the restart button to appear to retry and reach a higher score! Overall a nice submission, well done!

Very cute game! I think I would love to play the full version on my phone!

Very cool game! It is fun and the art looks very nice. I found a bug where if I touched two creatures with one at the same time, it would count for both. I was only able to do it twice though.

Really nice game, humorous ending xD
Allthough I´m interested in one thing: Is the resulting sex randomized or determined by the parents?

hey @kronox, the resulting sex is randomized, on the early stages i considered to make a more complex breeding system, but i choose to go with a more simple aproach in the end

Super unique concept! I have seen several tower defense games, a bunch of shooters, survive the zombies, and such not, but this is the only breeding game I have seen yet! Took me a moment ot figure out I just needed opposite sex of the same generation. I kept waiting for 2 of the same creature type to appear! Bravo

Nice! I would definitely love to see this expanded, maybe abilities for the different animals, regular results for combining them, that sort of thing.

That ending.

The game fits the theme perfectly, the music is relaxing, and the art appealing.
I would like to see an expanded version of this game.
