PICEVO: Pixel Cell Evolution

Game Description

PICEVO is a mesmerizing cellular evolution simulator where Conway's Game of Life meets natural selection! Guide pixelated organisms through generations of adaptation in a living petri dish. Each creature displays unique cellular automata patterns that dance and evolve before your eyes.

Watch as your microscopic colony struggles against environmental pressures, adapts to hazardous zones, and evolves new survival strategies. With dynamic weather, reactive particle effects, and strategic creature management, PICEVO transforms evolution into an engaging visual spectacle.

Every 30 seconds brings critical evolution choices that shape your species' destiny. Will you evolve sturdy defenders, balanced survivors, or nimble explorers? The fate of your cellular civilization rests in your hands!

Key Features

• Living Cellular Automata - Each creature displays mesmerizing Game of Life patterns
• Dynamic Environment - Navigate hazard zones, nutrient patches, and weather storms
• Intuitive Controls - Click to feed, drag to reposition your creatures
• Evolution Choices - Shape your species with meaningful genetic decisions
• Visual Polish - Depth particles, gradient skies, and reactive environments
• Expressive Creatures - Emoji indicators show health at a glance (^^ → -- → T_T → X_X)

How to Play

Basic Controls

• Click creatures to feed them (-5 food, +25 HP)
• Drag creatures to reposition them strategically
• Gain +1 food automatically every 2 seconds

Survival Guide

Your creatures constantly lose health from environmental pressure. Keep them alive by:

• Feeding them before they reach X_X status
• Moving weak creatures to green nutrient zones (50% slower health loss)
• Avoiding red hazard zones (50% faster health loss)
• Weathering storms that increase all damage by 30%

Evolution System

Every 30 seconds, choose from 3 evolutionary paths:

 Still Life - The Fortress

• High resilience, low speed
• Stable cellular patterns
• Best for harsh environments

Oscillator - The Adapter

• Balanced all-around stats
• Pulsing cellular patterns
• Versatile survival strategy

Glider - The Explorer

• High speed, low resilience
• Moving cellular patterns
• Leaves particle trails

Health States

• ^_^ Healthy (70%+ health) - Green glow
• -_- Stable (40-70% health) - Yellow glow
• T_T Struggling (20-40% health) - Orange glow
• X_X Critical (<20% health) - Red pulsing glow

Pro Tips

• Position creatures strategically - environment matters! (AVOID RED ZONES)
• Save food for emergencies rather than overfeeding
• Mix evolution choices for a diverse, resilient colony
• Watch cellular patterns - they reveal creature types
• Drag struggling creatures to safety during storms

Goal

Guide your species through as many generations as possible. Each generation advances time from night through dawn to day, bringing new challenges and evolution opportunities. How long can your cellular civilization survive?
