    The gameplay of the game is characterized by a unique animal hybridization mechanic that many players find addictive and enjoyable; however, it is marred by repetitive and generic shooter elements that detract from the overall experience. While the concept is intriguing, the lack of player engagement and the simplistic deathmatch-style gameplay lead to a disappointing experience for those seeking more depth and excitement. Overall, the game has potential, but it currently fails to fully capitalize on its innovative mechanics, leaving players wanting more.

    • “It's just plain addictive combining animals over and over again; it's definitely a similar addictive gameplay to how Pokémon is addictive due to the evolving factor.”
    • “The gameplay and concept are unique, and I absolutely love it.”
    • “Great little game, interesting mechanics, totally worth $12.”
    • “The game is dead, no players on servers, and the only possible draw is the combination mechanic.”
    • “The servers are empty, the gameplay is really boring, and the only real interesting part is literally creating your character before the rounds.”
    • “The gameplay is just a flat out disappointment.”
  • humor14 mentions

    The humor in the game is primarily derived from its absurd creature-mashing mechanics, which players find amusing and creative, particularly when combining unexpected animal hybrids. While some reviews note a lack of depth in gameplay, many still appreciate the comedic value and fun of the animal combinations, making it a hit for casual play, especially with friends. Overall, the humor is a standout feature, though some players wish for more content and variety.

    • “Though most of the reviews for this game say it's dry, I find it personally hilarious to combine a horse with a seahorse, and then a scorpion.”
    • “You just mix animals, get hilarious results, and... fight other players with those hybrids.”
    • “For the most part, we found the animal creation enjoyable and funny because of the ridiculous things you can do.”
  • stability6 mentions

    The game currently suffers from numerous bugs and glitches, affecting both gameplay and menu navigation, which can detract from the overall experience. While some players find enjoyment in the chaotic nature of these issues, the game's stability remains a significant concern, especially as it is still in alpha.

    • “The game glitches out; the menu is awful and the servers are broken.”
    • “This game is wonderful and all, but there are tons of bugs and glitches that you notice right away.”
    • “Now don't get me wrong, it's still in alpha, but for now it's quite buggy and gets boring easily.”
  • story3 mentions

    Users express a desire for the story mode, which has been in development for six months, to be released soon, as it would enhance the game's appeal beyond the creature creator. They suggest incorporating an RPG-style upgrade system that allows players to level up their creations with unique attacks and traits through breeding, adding depth and competitiveness to the gameplay.

    • “To make it more addicting, they should consider an RPG-style upgrade/level-up system involving experience points that unlock additional and new attacks (claw/bite/sting/fire breath, etc.) and traits (tolerance to poison-based attacks, etc.) from breeding two of your favorite creations together as a newer, stronger animal in story mode or online.”
    • “The story/wilderness mode has been in development for 6 months, but it hasn't come out.”
    • “It's a fun game for a bit of messing about with the creature creator, but I think the story mode that developers have teased needs to arrive soon.”
