- F: Fast forward / normal speed

How to play:

- Each card can be either an Egg, Creature, Food, Location or Effect

- Drag cards in Verb slots of corresponding type

- Once a verb is full, it will take action after an indicated amount of time

- Don't forget that you can pause the time using space

- Buy new verbs using eggs

Tips:

- If you want to understand how the game works by yourself stop your reading there

- Creatures will be exhausted after 3 verbs

- The pause button is really helpful, use it !

- LAYing eggs is exhausting

- EAT removes the starving status, it does not do anything else

- Creatures can eat FOOD and EGGs

- The pause button is really helpful, use it !

- Creatures who are exhausted need to LAY

- Creatures who are exhausted will die after 3 verbs
