The game's story aspect is highlighted by the unique backstories and stats provided for each creature created through merging, which many players find engaging and fun. However, some users express a desire for a more structured narrative or storyline, as the current gameplay lacks a cohesive plot and progression elements. Overall, while the individual stories of the creatures are appreciated, there is a call for a more developed overarching narrative.
“The graphics are amazing, and for each creature you create, you get a cute little story about it with its strengths, weaknesses, and class (common, unique, divine, etc.).”
“I love the story it gives about each fusion.”
“I'm enjoying this so far; it's fun, and I love the story behind what you create.”
“There's no storyline (yet?) and the arena option seems to mismatch opponents who are frequently obvious bots, so... now what?”
“But it feels empty as there is no story.”
“No story, no map, just breed/merge and battle.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and variety, with many players finding it soothing and enjoyable, particularly during battles.

Overall, the soundtrack enhances the gaming experience, contributing to the atmosphere and engagement.
“The graphics are off the charts, the UI is extremely smooth, and the soundtracks are very fun!”
“So many unique combos because of the resetting creature variety and weirdly good battle music.”
“I love the different animals, fruits, and characters that the game has; I don't know if it's only me, but I think the background music is super relaxing.”
“I'm not sure if the descriptions for the animals or the music are AI-generated too, but that aspect kills it for me.”
“Please change the background song and make it more energetic.”

The game's stability has received mixed feedback, with some players enjoying the experience while others report frequent bugs and freezing issues. Notable problems include reversed character moves, freezing during crucial gameplay moments, and inconsistencies in art style. Overall, while the game has potential, many users feel that significant stability improvements are needed to enhance their experience.
“It's the best game ever! No glitches or anything. 😎😁 I just fused the most important animal in the game; it is so cool! Could we upgrade the number of saved animals to 10 more slots? Other than that, it's the coolest game ever.”
“Would have given it 5 stars, but it freezes at times.”
“Awesome edit - reduced from 5 stars to 3 stars as it is very buggy. I got a Vorticorn, which is a Theta Supreme character, but all its moves are reversed; an attack buffs the enemy and a self-buff nerfs me.”
“The app freezes sometimes and not all features are in place. Looking forward to having that fixed.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly when it comes to leveling up and managing inventory, such as deleting animals. Suggestions for improvement include features to track completed combos and a multiple select option for inventory management to alleviate some of the monotony. Overall, while the grinding can lead to boredom, it is somewhat offset by the game's strong graphics and artwork.
“The only suggestion I have is that there was some way you could show us if we've already done that combo before, just to eliminate the tedious process!”
“Even with that, deleting animals is a tedious process currently, necessary to make room but wish there was a multiple select option.”
“Sometimes it gets tiring grinding and grinding for level 10 just to realize that their ability is one that is not useful.”

Players appreciate the game's high replayability due to the rotating pool of mergeable items, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging. However, some users express frustration with long wait times for new animals, suggesting that shorter timers or options to skip could enhance playability. Overall, while the game is addictive and fun, improvements in wait times could further boost its replay value.
“I love the rotating pool of mergeable items; you cannot outright purchase them, so replayability is high.”
“I enjoyed this game, but I gave it 4 stars because the new animal countdown is too long. I waited for 3 hours and got the same animals, which is annoying. If you could add a feature to skip the timer by 30 minutes, that would make it more playable. Adding more characters would also help.”
“I love the rotating pool of mergeable items, but the inability to outright purchase them limits replayability.”
