Budgie Genetics Simulator

Fun game, super addictive. Keen for more updates :)

Sadly.. there's a bug and I cant unlock my achievements :( The game is interesting!

你好，游戲中存在無法繁殖鳥類的bug（剛開始游玩時并沒有出現這種問題），左鍵選中鳥類並將光標拖至異性鳥類並點擊右鍵，沒有成功繁殖，我已重啓嘗試依舊沒有解決問題，確認不是右鍵失靈，希望可以儘早修復

要是有些基因的颜色对比能更明显就好了，汉化好评

Awesome! it's exactly what I was looking for in a game

A phenomenal example of a genetic simulation game! The focus of the game is on producing novel budgie phenotypes, rather than the management of a budgie colony. If you're looking to spend several hours hunting down genes and making the prettiest birds you can imagine, this is for you. Good: The learning curve is gentle (if you know the basics of inherited genetics), and the game is simple. There are 28 "achievements" for finding specific gene combos, and after obtaining these morphs you're given more spaces to store birds. The GUI is simple and effective, there is an in-game list of all possible traits (with what effects they have on color / information about inheritance), and the models are extremely cute. This is a sandbox for those who don't have the time or space to keep a flock in real life-- perfect for younger geneticists to experiment with intentional pairings. Neutral: The focus is purely color genetics. While there is an in-game penalty for inbreeding (cleverly formatted as a penalty to the number of breedings an inbred individual can perform), there is little else in flock management. I would love a "survival mode" where there are outside factors to consider (predation, illness, environmental risks like storms), but that's not a flaw in the game, just my personal desire for even more challenge. Bad: Very little. I've noticed a single QoL bug (the flock menu's locked icons float above the unlocked icons, making it tricky to switch between flocks in the early game). There is a slog element to finding rare genes, but that's to be expected in any game in this genre-- the option for a "cheat mode" where you can generate individual birds with specific traits might go over well for the less patient. Overall, Budgie Genetics Simulator is very much worth the $7 it costs. I would put it in the top 3 genetic sims I've played. Try it out!

Learning a lot, though sometimes the visual genetics do not trigger awards and have to get it more than once for it to activate (ex/ the albino). Would be a huge help if there was a way to see budgie family trees, take notes, or give birds different colored leg bands as markers in-game. Still enjoy it how it is, though noticed there hasn't been an update in a little while. I think the game simply needs a little love. I can't find any more games out there like this and it was worth my money. Would kill for a game like this about chicken or cockatiel genetics.

i love this game but i am sadly like very really dumb and i dont understand how to progress. i've tried inbreeding them with the worst traits possible and they seem pretty chill tbh i must try harder

good learning curve in the game, but when you are stuck it is very hard to find out what you need to do

非常非常好的基因模拟，皮皮很可爱
