## What is Biome?

A gentle drift through a living column of water.

Guide a softly glowing creature as it sinks deeper, lighting the dark in quiet pulses. Easy to fall into, easy to leave. A few calm minutes whenever you need them.

One hand, one finger. Drag anywhere and the creature swims to you, settling just short of your fingertip so your hand never covers it.

THE WATER IS ALIVE

Light drifts past you. The current leans on you, then lets go. Everything down here is breathing at its own pace and none of it is in a hurry. Nothing flashes, nothing sounds an alarm. The dark just gets deeper and stranger the further you go.

FEED, AND GROW LONG

Every light you take makes you longer and a little brighter, and the note you hear climbs with you. The trail you're proudest of is the one you have to swim around. It's a slow and rather satisfying kind of trouble.

LITTLE IS LOST FOR GOOD

The water can take a piece of you, but it keeps it close, still glowing and still yours if you turn around and go after it. You can be careless down here and still be swimming a minute later.

SINK, OR DRIFT

Go as deep as the dark will let you, or take two quiet minutes and see how bright you can get. Either way you can put the phone down whenever you like, and nothing is waiting to nag you when you come back.

Biome now offers one extra life at the end of a run. It costs 500 points and a short ad you choose to watch, it only ever appears on the results screen after you swim into your own body, and nothing interrupts a run. Decline it and the game plays exactly as it did before.
