I really like how the game works, but I don't like that I can waste my dna extractors :(

More than just a flying fish, a flying, walking swimming fish! Great fun, the ducks and frogs are quite fun. I don't know if it was a glich or not but I saw a jellyfish flying with some birds (maybe the fish isn't the only one stealing DNA?)

Wow, I loved it when I got legs. First of this year's games I've played that has really felt like I have evolved through my actions in the game

I really liked this one. The role of gene hunter suits me just fine, and I haven't seen anything like that before. However, there was a weird thing and I don't know if it's a bug. When you swim up in water, you have a massive acceleration.

Cool! I really liked this game, good use of the theme, fun and entertaining. you could use some clouds or textured sky so you can notice you are moving when you are flying. Congrats!

Amazing use of theme. I got stuck because I couldn't jump out of the water in the little pool on the right. Must have need a bit stronger swimming skill before escaping the safety of the water. Great game!

Nice work! Really original. Probably too hard, though - miss a shot or two, and you're stuck...

Great fun! There's something about collecting things... even if they're just "yellow things", that is so addictive!

I found all 100 yellow things! Found the ones in the upper left corner last. I liked the concept but the distribution of skills was a bit uneven.You get most skills within the first minute and then all that is left for the rest of the game is searching for yellow things. I was hoping for a surprising skill near the end. The DNA extractors could be wasted but there were plenty around so that's not really a problem.
