Enjoy a unique sensory experience with immersive, ambient levels and a minimal set of elements, recombining in infinite, procedurally generated ways. Aliens, spores, mushrooms, lightning, charged particles, shocks, and swarms? Yes! Exploration and evolution in a cosmic science lab? Yes! Primordial ASMR? Maybe! If you want to kill time, it's great! If you want to kill stress, or stay in a chill, flow state, you can tune it as you like, and lock in the difficulty. This is single-player fun, with a bouncy physics engine and simple puzzles in an arcade setting. It can get intense, but there's no shooting. This is a solodev indie game!
