Predation

Read full description

Enter a living petri dish as a fragile organism and evolve into its apex threat. Predation is a landscape action roguelite built around cellular combat, adaptation, and replayable mutation drafts. Hunt nutrients, evade larger predators, challenge guardians, and raise control until you can conquer the dish. FOUR WAYS TO SURVIVE โ€ข Viral โ€” spread infectious clouds and release short-lived virions. โ€ข Carrier โ€” grow a mobile colony of larvae and support units. โ€ข Mantle โ€” master close-range combat, digest fallen predators, and turn enzyme blooms into deadly zones. โ€ข Puppeteer โ€” capture compatible organisms, use each host's natural ability, and escape before the host is destroyed. EVERY RUN EVOLVES Choose one of three mutations as you progress. Stack ranks, build around your body type, and combine mastered traits into rare foil evolutions. Different dishes change the pressure with new hazards, predators, and routes to the apex. BUILD YOUR CELL Unlock toys and auras, discover special pairings, and equip profile upgrades. Cosmetics give your organism a distinct identity while hidden synergies reward experimentation. PLAY YOUR WAY โ€ข Responsive touch controls designed for landscape play โ€ข Fast runs with four distinct body paths โ€ข Online profile, wallet, progression, and leaderboards โ€ข Offline play after an initial successful account sync โ€ข No advertising interruptions Predation includes optional in-app purchases for fixed Bio Coin packs. Bio Coins can be used for run boosts and most cosmetics. Profile Coins are earned by completing runs and can be used for permanent profile upgrades and selected cosmetics. Bio Coins and virtual goods have no cash value. Gameplay includes randomized mutations, drops, spawns, and run rewards, but Predation does not sell paid loot boxes or paid random item packs.

About

Hashibiro

A surreal idle creature-raising game starring the shoebill - the famously motionless bird. It never chases. It stands perfectly still, lies in wait, and strikes prey the moment it drifts into range. The longer you leave it idle, the weirder the forms it morphs into. HOW TO PLAY - Stand still and lie in wait. The longer you wait, the more the "stillness gauge" fills - Tap prey that enters striking range to snatch it in one strike. With a full gauge, sweep everything in range at once - It evolves from how much it eats PLUS how long you leave it idle - Evolutions are random - you'll keep idling to see the next weird form FEATURES - An ambush-and-strike core mechanic unique to a bird that never moves: time your strike, read the range, build the stillness gauge - A "Dex" of 15 evolution forms to collect - Branching surreal evolutions: monster, sage, human society, motionless deity, and more - Hidden evolutions (night-only, gold-drenched, and others) - Idle-friendly: prey drifts into range while you're away. Great one-handed game - A quietly touching story and endings * Don't worry - the prey that gets caught is actually alive and well, living happily in another swamp. Cute, yet a little unsettling. You'll smile, then feel something warm. Why not raise a bird that never moves?
