Your build has a body

Nothing here is a number on a sheet. Level up, pick a mutation, and it grows right on the creature: an eye laser, horns, wings, jaws, quills, orbiters.

Never the same thing twice

Metamorphose, and that Life's Genes grow a Lineage that carries into every Life after it. The creature you end this run with is not the one you ended the last one with, and not the one waiting in the next.

Something is growing in the dish.

It starts as a pale speck with two dots for eyes. Every run grows it into a different creature: a laser burning out of one eye, horns crackling, quills down its back, or wings and jaws instead. You can point at every part of it and remember choosing it.

Feed it by hand

Your ring pops the food bouncing around the dish. Click to GULP and a pseudopod swallows what is under the ring; hold, then let go on the white flash for a SNAP, one huge bite. Pop a boss every ten levels until your creature outgrows the dish and the glass shatters.

• Golden foods. GULP one before its fuse burns out and it can roll a DNA capsule.
• The Biomass harvest. When the feeding timer runs out, the dish freezes and your Biomass floats in a pond of upgrades: hold a bubble to grow it.
• Splices. Mature a matching pair of mutations and the two fuse into one.
