About the Game

Program and improve your creatures’ behavior after each combat!

Customize your creatures using a unique state machine system. After every battle, you can add new actions to the state machine or enhance existing actions and their stats to refine your strategy.

Face enemies created by other players!

Every enemy you encounter was created by another player. When a creature is defeated, it remains in the ocean and becomes an opponent for other players, including yourself! This creates an ever-expanding roster of unique enemies and a dynamic meta that evolves over time.

Defeat is not the end!

Track how your creations perform even after your run ends. In the depth overview, you can watch how they are performing. Build something powerful enough, and your creature might even become an elite enemy for other players to face!

Endless build variety!

Create and evolve creatures with near-limitless possibilities. The game currently includes:

  • 8 unique creatures to pick from

  • 40 different actions that can be used by a creature

  • 27 different modules and modifiers to further modify actions

  • 48 different cores that provide the creature with unique special abilities

  • 8 different items that can appear as battle rewards

More creatures, actions, modules, modifiers, cores and rewards will be added with every major update!

This results in millions of different ways to play the game!
