About 808s&Genetics

This is a puzzle game that integrates principles from both nonogram and genetics.

Game features:
-Incorporates concepts from genetics such as genotype, phenotype, single gene inheritance, polygenic inheritance, and sex-linked inheritance into the game's -mechanics.
-Revamps the gameplay of nonogram to make it compatible with genetic mechanisms.

Common Questions:
Q: Does the game require prior knowledge?
A: You need to have a basic understanding of high school genetics.
Q: How large is the game?
A: The game consists of 32 levels each for single gene inheritance, multi-gene inheritance, and sex-linked inheritance, totaling 96 levels. It takes 4-12 hours to complete all levels.
Q: Are the questions computer-generated?
A: Yes, but all levels have been manually selected, eliminating questions that rely too heavily on enumeration. Almost every step in each level can be logically deduced.
Q: Why are there settings like "being your own offspring and parent" and "your parents being your offspring"?
A: These settings add new reasoning clues for sex-linked inheritance questions.
Q: Any suggestions?
A: Make good use of the annotation button, especially the "0" and "1" buttons provided in sex-linked inheritance questions.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the creative genetics-based puzzle concept with solid logical deduction gameplay, particularly appealing to those interested in genetics and Punnett squares. However, the game suffers from inconsistent difficulty, significant UI issues including missing undo and settings features, insufficient note-taking functionality, and technical problems with the parent-child relationship system that frustrate players trying to navigate the puzzle mechanics.

A neat little deductive puzzle, especially if you're a genetics geek. Needs a way to turn off the sound, though. Runs great on Linux.

Basically Sudoku but what if Mendelian genetics? I'm a huge nerd for genetics and enjoy doing Punnett squares. Using the concept to make a puzzle game out of it is creative. It's a good way to relax at the end of the day.

I disapprove. Neat idea, but wildly fluctuating difficulty and terrible UI. I'm not seeing undo, notes functionality is insufficient, parent-child links are annoying to search, especially when the relations cycle. Some declared functionality doesn't seem to be present (I'm not seeing mode without cycling - in fact, I'm not seeing settings at all).

Pretty novel use of genetics with nonograms resulting in a unique puzzler. Solid puzzles that don't require guessing, just a good level of logical deduction.

The game does not work and the parent child system is broken at least for me
