What's new

1.0.4.5 - Click-Movement and restored enzyme unlock fix.

2024-10-07

I added the click-movement feature that some have asked for. Its a stepping stone towards some new gameplay mechanics I've been thinking about. Click movement can be disabled in the settings. Along with that theres a new setting - Camera Pulled By Cursor Modifier. Its the best name I could come up with but it does what the name says. The default is all the way off. New Features: - Click Movement feature - (Enable in settings) Clicking the ground sets a movement target for your lifeform. - Camera Pulled By Cursor Modifier setting - (Adjust in settings) This determines how much the camera is pulled towards your cursor. Helpful for seeing further ahead of your lifeform when using click-movement. Fixes: - Disabled mutations for lifeforms in the main menu to prevent menu from slowing down. Restored fix from rolled back patch:

To many bugs to play. I get an black screen after an update and when i restart all progress is gone. To Avoid Bugs: Fist Bug check the Savegame File on Disk it must be present. Second Bug don't change the cell with mouse in battles.

Don't buy. Game keeps running but gives you an unplayable blackscreen every few minutes. Developer abandonned it.

Sad to rate this negative. The idea and concept are great. The execution needs work but is overall fun. But the content is too low. In my 1 hour playtime i finished 4 maps of like 9 or so. Unlike other Survivor-like games, here you dont have endless enemy cells to play with. They go extinct and once you reached the main goal of the map, you win and thats it. This can take like 10 minutes or so per map. The problem...
