Nice game! Not really sure what was happening but i spawned in trees and more slimes spawned, so my endorphins were heightened haha
Ha! So when adult critters have taken care of their hunger, they'll seek out mates. If you've got one selected and it's mood is "Romantic" that's what's going on. If two romantic critters see each other, they'll move into each other and a new critter will be spawned near them, taking one chromosome from each parent, with random mutations on each gene mediated by the terrarium's mutation rate.
By making lots of bushes, you gave them lots of food so it was easy for them to be well fed enough to turn romantic.
Nice, simple and bright! Gardens are fabulous things and those fun little circles make it even better! Much love~
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Nice game, Interesting concept and colourful also !
Thanks!
Interesting game! I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)
Thanks for including my game in the video! :D I'd thought I'd fixed that bug on Friday, but I guess not. So go game jams.
