That was a great game, i loved it so muchh, the audios and arts are beautiful ... Nice Entry GJ :DD

I really enjoyed breeding the yips and seeing how their stats came out. You did a really great job coming up with different looks for all of the appearance traits. I did find one bug where if a yip was too close to the top of the screen (whether on the field or farm), the stat box would completely cover up the yip. This meant that I could not move them (if on the farm) or buy them (if on the field). I lucked out fairly early and bought a yip with over 200hp that (with its offspring) obliterated all of the competition. Really nice entry!

Wow, that was a really fun experience. I especially enjoyed breeding the new Yips; their final appearances surprised me every time. The art style is very pleasant and beautiful, the location and character designs are cool, and the UI is top-notch. The music and sound design are overall wonderful, amazing work

Congratulations on successfully completing the game for this jam, and best of luck with your future projects!

This was a great game!  I thought the DNA mechanic with the slots was super clever.  And the art was amazing, the visual gag of your rival squishing the yips made me laugh.  One thing that left me a bit disappointed was the difficulty spike at the end and that you could only win by going and buying new critters.  I had been breeding mine up every day and did fine up thru round four, but I was still incredibly behind the curve for the last battle.  Overall really nice work!

Amazing game! Really fun breeding the yips. The art was great and the fights were fun. I don't really have any complaints about this game, its great.

Submitted(+2)

The art is absolutely amazing! I love the story, the characters, the banter, the transition from screen to screen, the ATB battle system and battle music... Everything was well thought out and fully fleshed out, especially for a 9 day jam. Great work!

I admit I was initially a bit skeptical since it’s an autobattler and also anime—neither is really my thing. Compared to mobile auto battlers, it managed to show something new, so you don’t feel like a passive observer of a fight where you don’t really feel anything for either side. The graphics were very nice, the yips were adorable. <3 The breeding mechanic was interesting. (Note: I’m not really a fan of ‘fanservice’, but here it wasn’t bothersome because of its parodic nature.) It reminded me of Pokémon, Mewgenics, and Cassette Beasts.

It looks really impressive. The art and animations are great. I particularly liked the anime-style girl :D The pacing is excellent, and there’s a tactical element to it. The only thing is, I didn’t quite understand what the lab was for, but I managed to get through the game without it. It’s the best game I’ve seen so far, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words! 

The lab was one of the last things to come together and had the least time to polish it up.  It's not tutorialized but you can actually put a yip on the launch pad to open up their DNA, and you can drag and drop genes in and out of compatible gene slots. This allows you to stack up a specific yip with DNA from other yips or breed those genes for use in other yips.

I did not click on this game b/c of the thumbnail, anyone who says different can come at me (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و

Jokes aside, great work on this, the breeding mechanic is cool and adds a nice twist on the super auto pets concept

Bae crushed me!

Really cool game. There is a lot to do. I like breeding. 

Submitted(+2)

Wow! The presentation and amount of content is amazing!

Submitted(+2)

I spent quite a while playing this. I got hooked experimenting with breeding and party order.  Shame about the tooltip issue as others have pointed out - I have no idea how you managed to test the game without getting very annoyed with the tooltips! But apart from that, this is a really strong entry and you should be proud of it :)

Submitted(+1)

Really impressive entry. The amount of content packed into a jam game is kind of wild, especially with the number of genes and all the different Yip combinations. The art, UI, and tutorial are probably among the most polished I’ve seen in the jam so far.

I also liked that the DNA system affects both appearance and gameplay. It made collecting and experimenting with new combinations feel rewarding instead of just chasing bigger numbers.

The only issue I ran into was occasionally fighting the tooltip/UI while trying to move Yips near the top of the screen, but it wasn’t a major problem.

Great work overall. I can definitely see this being expanded into a larger game after the jam.

Thank you so much for the kind words :)

Awesome game! Loved the art direction. Only problem I had was sometimes when I hovered over a yip to move it around the DNA menu would pop up and interfere, especially near the top of the screen.

Wow! This game feels super polished for a 9 day jam! I like the idea of breeding the yips to make stronger versions. The music was super fun and the UI was great!

Submitted(+2)

Fun game. Music is nice and relaxing, the gameplay is straight forward and easy to understand. I did have an issue while trying to move my Yips when they were placed in the top left hand of the screen due to the UI tooltip on the Yip. Great job dev team.

great game.... nothing more to say

The yips are adorable! Very polished and well done!

I commented the same thing in the form but I can't believe your team made this game in just 9 days. Amazing job, it was pretty fun. Yips are cute!
