What's New in Cell Zoo
2.2
August 20, 2026
A new Pro world: Chimera. Rival physics share one map — slime mold, spiral chemistry, living tissue, and falling sand carve territories, and your touch tips the balance. Also in 2.2: save any moment as a Live Photo, Maxwell waves now paint crests and troughs in two colors (and the Medium dial visibly bends their wavelength), every brush shows its name, and tilt gravity is steadier.
