ECOSYSTEM (itch) (jamfizz)

ECOSYSTEM is a food web simulator with fun creatures.

Choose how many of each creature spawn and watch them live. Your goal to try and create a balanced, sustainable ecosystem.

Buddies and dutties eat plants. Rummies eat plants or detritus.

Borgs eat buddies and dutties. Corgs eat dutties and rummies.

Bungees eat borgs and corgs.

Plants spawn in random increments of time. If no detritus is being recycled (eaten) or if there are too few plants, they will spawn less and eventually die off completely.

If an animal eats enough food, it will spawn another of itself. If it cannot eat in enough time, it will die naturally and turn into detritus.

To win, you must have your ecosystem survive at least 60 seconds with at least 1 of every animal still alive.
