★★★★★positiveP. C. Celino · 2026-05-07 · v1.3.23
Better than the PC version. Love it!
★★★★★neutralzoe d · 2026-04-24 · v1.3.23
its way better on the switch or on pc. I hate that its a waiting game basically, just get it on somthing else so you dont have to wait an hour for one puppy to grow up
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingBridget Harris · 2026-03-08 · v1.3.23
love it, and definitely worth the price! just wish there was more to the game instead of repetitive mini games but otherwise definitely a very fun game for those who love focusing more on genetic makeup and the chill gameplay of Niche without the worry of your clan dying. 😅
★★★★★positiveVee · 2026-03-06 · v1.3.23
Such a cute and fun game! It's not exactly the same as the computer game which I like a little more, but the developers did a perfect job within the limitations of a mobile game!
★★★★★positiveJ. T. Burrows (Tachyglossus) · 2026-02-15 · v1.3.23
Relaxing game with dominant and recessive traits. The interface is clean, and mechanics simple. However it quickly becomes a grind, but some people enjoy the grind.
★★★★★positiveJackie Miller · 2026-02-08 · v1.3.23
My mental health has been decimated this last year. Having Niche on my phone has spared me from constant doomscrolling and distracted me from severe overwhelmed. I already enjoyed the original game on PC, so this is a nice way to play when I can't get to my laptop. Looking forward to seeing future development.
★★★★★positiveLuna Idk · 2025-09-19 · v1.3.20
i love the game, i love the pc version more, but i WISH SO BADLY that yall would add the genes to the game or rework the game to make it accessible to mod on a platform, i know ya'll are busy with other games, but please, please, the community is begging we want this game to continue to be active, at least by the community. i have 200+ hours on it on Steam. We just want to experience the excitement of new nichelings with new genes again... I've been a fan from the start, obsessed with the game☹
★★★★★neutralRebekah Dance · 2025-09-07 · v1.3.20
add more genes and islands! I'd love to see galaxy-esqe nichelings and maybe a fantasy island with nichelings based off of mythical creatures like kirins or griffins or cryptids
★★★★★neutralGaasuba Kittens · 2025-08-23 · v1.3.20
I downloaded this cause I'm locked out of my steam account and can't play the computer version. This is nothing like that. Please let me order my critters by trait. The petting mechanic is cute but gets annoying. The first area's level maxing out made me look forward to the next one to do that. I'm beginning to think none of the others do.
★★★★★positiveKris D · 2025-06-12 · v1.3.20
completely free game? with no ads?? no in game purchases??? no energy limits?? best game I have played in yeeears
★★★★★positivePerla R · 2025-05-17 · v1.3.20
Very different from the game on Nintendo Switch but just as entertaining.
★★★★★positiveAddyx in Wonderland · 2025-05-13 · v1.3.20
Fun game, I really like it (especially the art and new genes) but, to the developers: Is this ever going to get a major update again? I'm aware the PC version won't (which is a tad disappointing, because even though it's quite literally in my top games of all time there's a lot of potential still there, like adding the new genes in the mobile version-I do understand the reasoning though), but the islands screen saying more is coming soon makes me wonder... -A very devout niche player (and lover)
★★★★★positiveD'mara · 2025-05-06 · v1.3.20
Very cute, scratches that offline Flight Rising itch :)
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingKalee Andrews · 2025-03-22 · v1.3.20
This game is really cute, definitely worth the money. I would recommend to the creator to add in more mini games, but that's my only recommendation.
★★★★★negativeGirija Griffin (Eriu) · 2025-03-11
Boring tbh. Not very fun or informative
★★★★★negativeShad Pearl · 2024-12-30
Since the latest update, this game keeps crashing. :T Also, it is very easy to overlevel the world and get stuck with creatures with too low skill levels to even do anything. If the RNG gods hate you, then breeding will be almost impossible since it is time-gated and heavily RNG dependent.
★★★★★positivemandy howard · 2024-12-28 · v1.3.20
absolutely love this game
★★★★★positiveRenee Laird · 2024-12-16 · v1.3.20
beautiful a little different but I like it.
★★★★★positiveTaylor-Nicole Foster · 2024-12-15 · v1.3.20
I'm really enjoying this game! Some things aren't explained great and took a while to figure out/I'm still figuring them out, but this is like a really cool puzzle type game. Plus, the breeding for specific genetics is so cool and interesting; so far, the colors and patterns are extremely varried to the point that I have yet to see duplicates. Time and effort has 100% been put in to ensure variety. If the help/info buttons were just a bit more thorough, this would definitely be 5 stars.
★★★★★positiveDrake Higgins · 2024-12-05 · v1.3.20
The game is a neat reimagining of the original, though the leveling up of genes feels like a departure of the more realistic genetics system of its predecessor. Only reason it's not 5 stars is I've had some rocky issues in the past (lost saves, not working on new phones) but with regular updates this game seems (hopefully) more stable now.
★★★★★neutralLeAcoTaco · 2024-11-05 · v1.3.18
Great game but it all of the sudden stopped working. The app wont open anymore, I click on it and it just quickly opens and closes a black screen.
★★★★★negativeT S · 2024-11-02 · v1.3.18
It won't open.
★★★★★negativeBug Men · 2024-11-02 · v1.3.18
The game is fun, but after the most recent update I can't open it anymore because it crashes immediately. Please fix :[
★★★★★neutralTerra T. · 2024-11-01 · v1.3.18
i love this game, but the android update yesterday broke it, and now it won't open! please fix it! :(
★★★★★negativeLolli Gentry · 2024-10-31 · v1.3.18
Game immediately closes when I open it
