The gameplay is generally enjoyable and aligns with promotional expectations, featuring fun mechanics and the appeal of creating various creatures. However, players are frustrated by the excessive number of ads that disrupt the experience, as well as significant bugs and unfinished elements that hinder progression. While the core gameplay is simple and accessible, many feel it lacks depth and is marred by interruptions, leading to mixed reviews overall.
“Gameplay is fun and was exactly as shown in the ad.”
“I really like the gameplay.”
“Basic gameplay that's easy to learn; great for kids.”
“Constant forced ads make the empty gameplay a complete nightmare.”
“There are way too many ads for starters; if it weren't for the cute animals, I would have deleted it after the first hour of gameplay.”
“I love the gameplay; however, something is wrong in the programming of the second world - I cleared every item and the portal still says 'find the gems', so I can't go any further.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative, quests, and additional gameplay elements like shops and missions. While some enjoy the mixing mechanics, they find the lack of a storyline and engaging content leads to boredom over time. Frequent ads further detract from the experience, making it difficult to immerse in any potential story.
“Love the game but everything that the reviews are saying is true. I would love to see a book of each of my creatures and what I used to make them, and probably make little islands to clear. Once they have cleared everything, they just bug out and it really messes with the gameplay. I'd also like there to be missions or something else to do other than make them, but overall very good game and will reinstall when more updates take place.”
“Would be nice if it had some sort of storyline, quests to fulfill, and a shop!”
“Fun to mix but little storyline (I actually thought there wasn't any, so it was nice) but there are ads every step of the way since it doesn't cost money or game points to create the creatures.”
“No storyline to be seen.”
“Would be nice if it had some sort of storyline, quests to fulfill, a shop!”
“Not much storyline.”
