Lifeforms: Binary Fission

Clone yourself to take over the environment in this bacterial evolution roguelite. Choose mutations and abilities each time you multiply. Use swarm mode to direct your species to attack enemies. Unlock abilities and perks to improve your odds. Compete against other multiplying and evolving species. The environment will change as species evolve or go extinct.






Start with one lifeform at the start of each scenario. Then find food, multiply and gain new abilities. Every lifeform in the environment is searching for food nd multiplying.

You are not just one lifeform, you are the species - you can switch control to any lifeform in your species as long as you are more than one.
Once your population grows enough, you will gain swarm mode where your species will follow the lifeform you are controlling and attack enemies that you target.






Choose mutations and new abilities each time you undergo a binary fission event.

• Mutations can affect your lifeform's traits such as speed, health, energy, food capacity, etc.
  
• Abilities can give you bonuses when you bump into food or enemies.
  
• Effects on enemy lifeforms include stun, slow, stealing energy, etc.
