If you've played some older online God Games and are intrigued by the evolution of the natural world, you might like this game! I like that there's a difficulty to the game that's based on your own knowledge, much like older god games I've played. It explains little and you have to figure out for yourself how to get the results you want. When i play this game, I think back on how difficult these older god games used to be and how fun they were, but it's not for everyone and in today's gaming market, it might be out of place. That being said, I do think I might have accidentally contributed to the anomalocaris getting more well-known. Well, on Tumblr, at least. It was thanks to this game. I was playing the game in 2021 for the first time, and suddenly I got this huge creature in my waters. It looked awesome! so I looked up images of what it actually was and what the cambrian looked like, and like before I knew it I was utterly obsessed with the thing. I shared a screenshot of it, made a dancing gif of the creature in spore, made art, and slowly but surely I started to notice more anomalocaris content show up on the site. When I started posting about the thing, it was just the same 10 or so memes I could find, or just people sharing gorgeous paleoart, not really focussed on the creature itself. But now it was like, all over the place. People sharing their love for this ancient beast and also making art. Apparently it became a meme at some point too. I'm by no means saying I'm the Very First to have loved the anomalocaris or started the hype. I found an anomalocaris tribute page that dated back to 2001, ha! but I do believe I ended up being one of the many stones that brought the anomalocaris more to the surface of online conversation. And I'm glad it's come this far. I love it! I love being able to google something now about this creature and see so many people passionate about it. I wouldn't have found out about it though if it weren't for this game. So thank you for broadening my horizons and indirectly giving me more things to love in life

The game definitely has a learning curve that you need to figure out yourself as I don't think the game explains the best. But once you get it down shaping the world as you see fit as basically this ecosystems all mighty being, is pretty relaxing. Could use more music though.

I don't understand how to pass the tuto. I made it good but I can't close this board where is said what I passed.. Maybe I'm stupid? I did the tuto twice but didn't realize how to play by myself after I passed it, this thing won't close with any button or by clicking something in game. I wanted to play it for soooo long and just bought it to try and now struggling with something like this. Help pls I'm losing my mind with that.
