Interesting visually, but not much of a "game"
The concept is interesting, but there is not enough visibility of interactions between species and how the situation evolves.
There unfortunately isn't much inter-species interaction since they're all herbivores. They will run away from each other when they see each other and stick closely to others of the same species, but that's it. I've updated the game's description with a run-down of what all the stats do and a few notes on the AI (in the post-mortem), so it should be clearer from now on.
Not much of a game but I liked seeing the packs of dots herding =)
I find it quite impressive that such a simulation can be build within 48 hours. Not a game no, but still good work for such a complex idea.
It's not a game, as there's no game-play to speak of - but as a simulation it's quite nice. It could use some speed-up button or so - interessting stuff happens only fairly rarely and it does take quite a long time to get to observe any long-term trends.
Still, well done - I would absolutely play a completed post-compo version of this. The planned features sound really interessting!
Interesting simulation. It's funny to see how they flock together after a while when you add a few new species. Sadly, interactivity lacks a bit. But nice work for such a short timeframe.
You should check out berkano's and my own game, which are both simulations too. There are probably more but I have not found them yet.
impressive simulator for 48 hours :D next time try working on interactivity.
Nice simulation, too bad that the only interation is "generate new one".
