Nice game, very innovative.
I don't quite get it.
So, you need to put monsters on the field, then capture them again to use them to create bigger monsters, which will kill your smaller monsters, so you should quickly capture your smaller monsters for you to be able to create more big monsters?
It was fun tinkering with the different variations, and seeing what kind of weird amoebae I could breed :-)
This feels like the beginnings of a cool "artificial life" mechanic.
Nice little game :)
Nice concept.
I wish there were more ingame instructions however I struggled to work out what to do and what (if any) was the objective.
I really like the look of the lifeforms, they look really entertaining, however there are stat bars next to them but no obvious way to know what they relate to.
thanks for the coments!
:D as i said, the game is like a toy, there is no "win" objective, more than try to pick an specimen and make it grow to see him kill litle other ones or create a monstruos specimen and try to kill it with small ones :)
luckly there are a lot of people who liked it and give a lot of great ideas to add in a future complete game! so thanks and i'm willing to hear more cool upgrades to add :D
I liked combining my captured monsters, I just wish more would happen with them. The concept itself is very fun as it made me very curious what would happen.
So, umm I started playing, and the little guys were fighting, I stuck some together and they got bigger, but the other little ones didn't like that and took up a pacifism strike leaving their weapons behind. So the big one's felt bad too and dropped their weapons and I thought everyone was going to be happy. But no, the weapons then started attacking by themselves, and the little guys got scared and started vibrating. I panicked and tried to get rid of the weapons and just pressed some buttons and the little ones all turned black and ran in circles then did some kind of magic dance and the weapons disappeared. I thought everything was going to be fine until one of the little black guys started to grow, took over the entire screen and then my computer started to freeze.
THIS ALL ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
So what I'm trying to say is, what did I just play?
In seriousness this was super funny and super random. I'm not entirely sure my inputs had any real effect, but it's great to see a program purposely go off the rails like that.
@dalbinblue xD you experienced the pure reason of the game! lol very funny story i have to archive this kind of stories to share
