To start off with (first thing I saw), it's not a terribly great idea to have a gender selector or things similarly gendered. Keep in mind, I'm miles deep in the lgbtq community, so for most people it won't really matter. For those nonbinary, it's gonna be a bit of a pain, and for those who don't relate to gender at all it's gonna be very meh. So if it doesn't serve a super important purpose, keep gender out of games. 

This is a cute lil thing, it's unfinished but there is a framework for something fun in here. It's super basic, but it does have a bit of it's own flare. The monster after you feed it looks so frickin fuzzy and cute I love it. Great work!

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I totally agree that gender selection options in games are frustrating and limited (I am trans). When I decided to add a 'gender select' screen to the game, I wanted to subvert and poke fun at the idea. The character's sprite is identical except for having either a forwards or backwards baseball cap, which was meant to highlight the absurdity and futility of gender selection in games, and binary gender in general.

Again, thanks for reaching out and giving feedback.

PFF I missed the irony in it entirely, I'll be more cautious in the future. If you want more feedback, just give me a headsup anytime :>
