Less of a game and more of a sandbox toy. Critters inherit their parents' properties and bullets evolve to become more lethal. Red tribe stats are random, blue tribe stats are set on the title screen.
I watched for a while, and there is some crazy stuff happening. You could give the player evolution points every now and then he could spend on adjusting his tribe in one direction. Or be a god and have a natural catastrophe every now and then.
That kind of already happens - when a critter reproduces, its stats get passed on to the child with some slight random mutation. Same goes for bullets that kill critters - any bullet that kills a critter shifts the entire tribe's weaponry towards its own stats by a small amount.
It's a bit more obvious with the bullets; for the critters I think the game might not usually last long enough (and too small in scope) for a significant variety to show.
I guess I could slowly increase the number of points available to the player to spend on their tribe with number of games played or such... will have to look into that.
