Instructions

Arrow buttons to change screen ;)

Grab monsters and drag them into the interface to see their traits in the Punnett squares. Once a male and female monster are in the interface, click the "breed" button to breed them. Click the monsters to remove them from the interface.

Drag across the top to scroll. Select a monster from the list, and click "sell monster" to sell the selected monster to the customer. Following their order will increase your profit from the sale.

Click eggs to purchase them if you have enough money. The egg in the shopkeeper's hand is more expensive and will unlock a new trait (save up for these)!!

Lose by running out of money :(

Tips

If you're game is appearing really small, press ESCAPE to toggle to full screen.

Think ahead!! As long as you have one of an allele in the gene-pool, you can eventually get a monster with that trait. You may have to breed some of the younger-generation monsters.

You don't have to get the customer's order right. If you know it will take lot of breeding to get their order ready, you can give them the wrong monster. You just won't make as much money from the sale.

Know how each trait works:

  • Color: Complete dominance: Green (GG, GB, GR) dominant to Blue (BB, BR) dominant to Red (RR)
  • Eyes: Incomplete dominance: One eye (OO) + Three eyes (TT) = Two eyes (OT)
  • Horns: Codominance: Dark horns (DD, DN) + Light horns (LL, LN) = Striped horns (DL); No horns (NN) is recessive.

After you unlock horns, you've played through everything. Don't waste hours trying to get to another level because unfortunately that's as far as it goes :)

I really enjoy this game, only problem is after unlocking horns the selected monsters' portraits cover up the letters surrounding the Punnett squares making it impossible to determine some recessive alleles

oops - sorry about that.

Haven't played yet, but you misspelled a word in your description. "Using", not "Useing". Sounds like a cool game!

Can't wait to play (but need to get to sleep!) -- tomorrow!

awesome stuff!

Had to get this out for a deadline, so there's been almost zero playtesting for balance. LMK what you think so I can improve it :D

I'm not sure about making the  cursor displaced upwardly by ~20 pixels when in the breeding zone. And damn I cant get rid of the red and blue sellers. Also I got 3 female blues in a row from buying and since selling the wrong colour loses you money you have to wait forever until you can buy again. It can be a bit tedious. It really seems that females are more common than males

Thanks for the feedback! I used to have a system in place that let you delete monsters you didn't want so u didn't have to pay rent or whatever i called it for them, but unfortunately, PC crashed and I hadn't saved yet :'). anyway, I can try to work to iron those bits out
