I loved mixing the ingredients there, but I have to confess that I ended up creating the creatures sort of by accident. I'm not sure if I truly understood that magic book; I just threw things in randomly, and eventually, little critters started to emerge.
I thoroughly enjoyed the little animation of the creature's emergence; it's quite satisfying to watch the whole thing tremble, and it truly feels like you've created a majestic being.
Game is fun and curious. Especially when you have to think a lot about how to manage the last creatures. The variety in the game itself is a bit lacking.
The different behaviors of the creatures are nice to look at.
If you would implement that you could care for them after you created them I would love it even more!
