About the Game

For many years naturalists have been portraying the natural world, and now we can create a self-contained biological world.
The organisms(style and movement) are generated by particular mathematical(trigonometric functions) codes, all based on points.
This could be a new form of art.

Living in a drop of water.
Flowing on the surface.
I am no one.
My galaxy in one drop.
Life is so simple.
But full of mystery.

Note: For best experience, play this game in a dark room, alone.
I am adding more contents as an idle game with art style, just like some virtual installation artwork.
