About the Game

Spawn your seeds and insects into the environment. Watch your plants and populations grow on their own.

Unlock new species and introduce them into an increasingly complex micro ecosystem with symbiosis, predators and prey.

Observe how simple interactions lead to emergent behavior such as trails of ants, swarms of flies, shapes of plants and dynamics of populations.

Prepare an ecosystem with enough diversity to defend against infestations that might threaten your plants.

Improve your spawn order, timing and location to recover from infestations faster as a bonus challenge.
