The Pond is a place, hidden from view, where small creatures fight for life.
They live, they reproduce, they die.
You can watch them, or maybe help them.
But in The Pond, everything starts and ends the same way: with life and death.

This is a simple simulation game I made in a few hours. I usually make something with a team of people but I had an exam on the 28th, so I quickly made this instead.

- Behind the curtain:
For every creature born, there is a chance of genetic mutation. This increases or decreases life expectancy and is hereditary.
Occasionally you might get colored creatures. If you can get a colony composed only of those, post a screenshot!
Food temporarily extends your creatures' life. It's not necessary for survival. Make sure your first two creatures live enough to mate!
Every creature has a randomly generated name. Hover over them to see it.
