User Reviews

Overall, players praise Wacky Genes for its unique genetics-based gameplay: a deep breeding system with discoverable traits, care/contests, and achievements, plus a responsive dev team via Discord that implements feedback quickly. However, reviews cite stability issues: crashes and load hangs on various devices. Art direction is divisive, with some liking the simple style and others disliking AI-generated visuals. Additional frustrations include an outdated UI and unclear economy or tutorials (coins, auctions). Despite bugs, many see strong potential and value ongoing updates from the devs.

Pros

Complex genetics and breeding system with discoverable traits (genes/alleles) that fans of breeding sims will enjoy.
Engaging, unique concept and gameplay focused on genetics, breeding, and hatching.
Active, responsive developer community (Discord) that implements user feedback quickly.
Caring for creatures with contests and achievements adds long-term goals and progression.

Cons

Frequent crashes and loading issues on multiple devices, sometimes preventing play.
Outdated UI/graphics and accessibility problems on older hardware (screen cutoffs, poor layout).
Art direction criticisms, including dislike of AI-generated visuals and a more primitive look.
Unclear currency mechanics and tutorials (coins, auctions), making progression and economy confusing.

I stumbled into this game and while the gameplay is very “text based” and there aren’t really graphics to speak of, the concept is very fun. I love genetics and breeding games. This has a complex breeding system with discoverable traits. You care for you creatures, enter them into contests, and unlock achievements. There is a Discord server where devs listen and respond promptly. I proposed a suggestion to the game and within 2 days, the change was made and inplemented into an update in the app store. I love to support small games that have dedicated devs. Keep up the good work!

So, this morning when I opened the app, it stayed on the loading screen. Just staying there. I restarted my iPad many times, but it still stayed there. Yesterday, it was do just fine though. I hope you guys have a good day/night, and that you can fix this! Also, I don’t have, discord, and I can’t, I’m 11.😭☹️

I love this game, and have loved it since the first second I played it. I’ll probably never delete it off my phone because I really do enjoy this developers idea. I was surprised by the redesign, and the colorful loading screen/backgrounds made me smile. I laughed really hard at the deer design, it seems the animals are in a very rudimentary geometric design now. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds. I really only have two concerns. One of them being that the loading screen looks nothing like the models and I don’t support AI image generating models. I wouldn’t boycott this dev over it because of how much effort they’ve put in the game, makes this point kind of moot, but it unsettles me and I implore to steer as far away from image generation ai models as much as possible for the sake of art. Let alone how detrimental ai is to the environment, but I digress. My only other concern is that my game keeps crashing now that I have over 5 animals I can’t check on them at all!
