I could not figure out how to choose to attack or mate. I could only move around and starve to death. :(

It seems that the game does not wait for you to make your decisions as it continuously depletes your life. This does not make it easy for someone who is exploring and who does not know how to play the game yet.
@axcho Attacking and mating is done by clicking close by organisms.
@Accidental Rebel
That was your energy meter, it depletes the longer you take your turn. So, you would have to either make quicker decisions or invest time to find Nutrients to replenish it.
Sorry for the confusion everyone, next build will include more clear instructions.
I really like how you used the theme - I like the evolution tree as well
@sampyxis aww thank you! I really wanted to nail down an evolution simulation feature rather than a eugenics mechanic (alows the user to choose traits) since that's the way life has been working as far as we know.
I dont understand too much the mechanic of the game... But is funny, has good graphics and audio... Good job!
I couldn't figure out the controls, but I really liked the concept.
After reading the instructions I had issues with controls. Interesting concept but the fun factor just wasn't there for me. The interface and interactions could use some work.
@csanyk @Gryxitl what particular part of the controls caused issues? Was it the movement, the mouseover, the clicking?
same as @axcho ,and controls does not respond to what i want... the text got rotated (inverted) and cant read.
The potential is enormous, dont extinct the game, evolve it!:)
@juaxix Thank you! I'm planning on adding mechanics to be unlocked with the skill tree.
Also, I think I found the bug for the controls. Should be fixed during my lunch break :)
