Most unique take on the theme I've seen so far. 
Great submission :)

I saw the art for this in the discord for the game jam and I am so happy I was able to find it! I love this interpretation of the theme! Wonderful work! Very fun!

This is pretty funny. I survived 47 generations, not exactly sure what killed me at the end, but it was fun regardless. I appreciate that all the world’s inhabitants are just called “dudes”.

now that's something i've never seen before, awesome idea! i appreciate that stats are genetically inherited, although i feel like i only used that to my advantage with the heart stat (but maybe i'm just dumb)

Great Idea!
Is there a way to generate a lvl 3 on any stats?
I get to the 58 generation and hadn't see any

No, sadly it’s a bug I realised only after the submission deadline passed! Will be fixed right after voting ;) Thanks for playing!

Very creative and original concept, art works is nice too, I love it!

Really unique game, it needs a bit of balancing though. I had to stop the game myslef because i wouldn't lose (i was at like 105).

The fact that you can make connection between generations is pretty disturbing too haha

Otherwise the game is very simple but original, nice one

Lmao, hilarious idea for a game. Really clever. At around level 50 I finally realized I could match with "dudes" on different lines too. I think with the mechanics and events fleshed out a little more, you could have a really good game on your hands! Super original concept too.

Click&drag to join dudes and make babies is my favorite line of the year.

This is my unofficial name for your game :D

As for the game itself, like mentioned below me - I think a real time mode would be fitting here, but it was fun and original the way it is right now.

Well done!

with a bit more variation and maybe adding a real time mode it could be a fully fledged game that you could sell :D it's really original and entertaining!!

this is a crazy original concept and i'm surprised how well it works!! your visual and sound design choices really fit the game, and i really appreciate the gender-neutral procreation hehe

I really like the concept, was fun for me !

Submitted(+1)

Cool Concept! Would like to see it expanded on

Submitted(+1)

Visual and sound are very solid and satisfying, and the concept is an original one. My main criticism is that it doesn't exactly feel like a game where your choices matter, since so much of the outcomes are determined by chance.

Still I feel like the idea could be molded into a very fun and engaging experience, awesome work <3

I liked this!

I struggled to understand what was happening and how my decisions affected the outcomes. After a while, I started picking randomly. But the visuals and sound were good enough that this was honestly still kind of fun.

It's an interesting idea, anyway. I feel like a good tutorial might go a long way, if you plan to keep working on it?

Thanks for letting me play it!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting concept, but it I felt like my choices don't really matter - I randomly dragged my dudes on other dudes and they kept making children. I like the old-timey portraits^^

I like the way you have to keep the different factors in mind while coming up with a strategy. Thanks Sam :)

The idea is pretty interesting, but I wish there were more stats to keep tracks of with objectives associated. Also, I couldn't find a way to go up the tree to see past generations. With faces and names generator, this could become pretty funny !

Great idea and conept and the different events made it even more intressting. Great!
