What's New in Cell Zoo
1.4
June 1, 2026
A new way in, and a new world to lose yourself in. • Enclosures — browse every simulation as a living preview. Each one runs in miniature, so you see exactly what you're stepping into before you open it. • Hail Mary — a new enclosure where glowing blooms drift and divide, hunted by a restless predator. Watch a whole food web find its balance. • Adversarium — the predator–prey arena, retuned: faster, hungrier, and now living up to its name. • A new color studio — pour and mix your own palettes with the liquid picker, and your creatures keep their colors across devices. • A warmer welcome and a cleaner, calmer path through the app. Plus the usual quiet work underneath: smoother frames, fewer hitches.
