The idea of this game is super cool, like some living game where you're just managing the chaos.

For the execution, I'm not sure I really understood it that well, but that might just be me missing the base concept of how to manage their breeding. I read that you're supposed to eliminate the incorrect colors which are found with the red highlights, but even if I eliminated all of the ones I found, I still didn't end up with a non-zero score.

Probably me just missing the base concept of how to manage the color fusions though.

I like the little rodent art! Really difficult to get a hang of but I liked it!

Good idea, it really felt like I was out of control at some point. But I had a hard time trying to differentiate between some of the more similar colors.

Difficult, but after the first couple of times, you start to get the hang of it. Pretty fun game where you're really out of control. I liked it!

It's harder then you might think at first glance. As someone mentioned already, it was kinda hard to know which rodents to eliminate because there were so many colour variations. What might have helped me, was a sort of eminating glow or highlight of the good rodents.

Interesting idea!

It took me a while to understand, but when I got it, I found it was easier to just erase a lot of them at once to minimize overall numbers and then try to find the correct ones.
It is very hard to spot the color difference sometimes, and the display on up could be more visual.
That said, if there were less color variations and a more intuitive UI I feel I would have a blast! The zooming tool is very nice too.

I didn't really understand quite what I was supposed to do, I had fun running around clicking on the animals and laughing but wasn't quite sure what the game wanted
