How it feels

a frantic 15-minute strategy session where you build and watch a living organism adapt or collapse against escalating odds.

What players say

Players describe a unique but deeply confusing tower defense where you build a living organism instead of turrets. The game is brutally difficult with a steep learning curve and a tutorial that moves too fast. Some praise the surreal biological theme and art style, but many more find the mechanics obscure, the controls clunky, and the difficulty punishing.
