About

The Bibites is a single player simulation game. It was developed by The Bibites and was released on March 4, 2025. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

"The Bibites" is a simulation game where players observe evolution in action. Each bibite, a small critter, starts with basic genes and no behavior, but mutations can lead to new brain connections and behaviors, such as movement or food consumption, enabling reproduction and energy gain. As time passes, complex behaviors like hunting and stockpiling emerge, with features including procedural sprites, self-awareness, pheromones, material simulation, and grabbing/throwing.
