Love the idea! Very unique. Would love to see it further developed.

Very cool, I love watching the objects self propagate and expand out. Kinda fun to click a bunch of random things and just watch what happens. Nice job!

Not entirely sure I know what I'm doing but it's a pretty incredible simulation. I have now pretty much destroyed my nice grass field with a mushroom infestation. Great work!

had plan for 2 more creatures; one that hunt other creatures and one that eat dead creatures, but i ended up watching the simulation too much that I didn't have time to add those in :D
will at least try to finish that next week since the art is already there haha

This is awesome. Probably more on the "simulator" side of things, but very cool veyr fun to mess around and see what happens.

I love sim games. You can tell a lot of work went into the little details here. Bring on the fungus.

I love simulations like these because it's so hard to predict the outcome. I think it needs some kind of goal though so you know what you are aiming for. I just clicked randomly to see them interact with eachother. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience. Goodjob!

A pretty charming sim, didn't expect to ruin my ecosystem with bushes of all things

My forest got overran by mushrooms :p
This was great! the art is lovely and the mechanics simple enough.
Didn't really understand half the interactions though, those animals move really fast!

Life game is fun, it would be better if there's some goal for players to finish

This really good, be cool if there was a lightning strike or something to manually remove stuff that you don't want (I'm looking at you fungus)

I love this kinds of simulations... Great job! Even unbalanced, it was fun to watch the different setups!
