I think making the goal so rigid is the biggest flaw.
Also, with just pixels the game doesn't seem to be fun enough, but I do see big potential. I'm gonna add it to my mechanics folder actually.
Like, I enjoy just going through mtg cards online, reading them, and trying to find some good ones.  It'll be cool if instead of trying to find a cool unit I would have the ability to merge some cards, mutate some properties, and make myself some powerful stuff.

The premise of the game is pretty interesting.

Playing with the different organisms and seeing them grow is pretty satisfying.

That said, there is too much randomness and down time for it to really be engaging.

In level 4 I had several organisms with only 1 square left to match the pattern, but the game just never gave it to me. I spent like 10 minutes, duplicating stuff to have a go at getting the pattern, not receiving it, keeping 1 good organism and duplicating it again, rinse and repeat.

Also the mutating function wasn't available to me somehow ?

I know it sounds a bit harsh, but the main gimmick is pretty fun, I just think some mechanics needs to be streamlined for it to be really great.

There is a good foundation in there :)

The idea for the game seemed nice but the sudden thrust into the mechanics and the unclearness and eyesore of a row of text throws me off. The game’s nice but if you took more time to teach each mechanic and how they work, it would work out for a game such as yours. There’s also the lack of an undo and reset to deter other players away from the game… Nice idea but not nice enough of an execution.
