How it feels

A methodical puzzle game that feels like solving biology homework, blending nonogram logic with genetics principles.

What players say

Players describe it as a genetics-themed nonogram variant that rewards logical deduction. Many praise the puzzle design but criticize the lack of undo and a next-level button. Opinions split on the difficulty curve: early levels feel easy, while the sex-linked inheritance section is a sharp spike. Several note missing quality-of-life features like cloud saves.
