Gridworld is an artificial life simulator where abstract creatures evolve in a two-dimensional ecosystem, competing for food and struggling for survival. It offers a user-friendly interface to customize simulations and observe evolution in action over hours instead of thousands of years. The game promotes hands-off experimentation, allowing users to tweak parameters and witness creatures adapting to their created environments.

"Intelligent Design: An Evolutionary Sandbox" is a simulation game that allows players to create and modify a variety of ecosystems and organisms. Design and evolve creatures with unique abilities, behaviors, and appearances using an intuitive design tool. Observe how your creations adapt to environmental challenges and compete or cooperate with other species in a dynamic, ever-changing world. **Approximately 256 characters

Vilmonic is a pixel-art artificial life simulator where you protect and breed unique creatures and experiment with natural and artificial selection. Each creature's body and function is determined by its evolving genetic code, with pixels and body shape affecting hydration, nutrient use, movement, and perception. Your goal is to bring life back from the brink of extinction and uncover the secrets of the past.

"Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution" is a simulation game where players create and evolve unique species in a dynamic ecosystem. Observing and manipulating various factors such as genetics, environment, and behavior, players can watch as their creatures adapt and survive in a real-time evolutionary process. With countless possibilities and a sandbox-style gameplay, this game offers a fascinating look into the world of evolutionary biology.

"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.

The Sapling is a simulation game where you design your own plants and animals, and put them in a world together. Or you turn on random mutations, and see what evolution does to your ecosystem!

Welcome to The Neeblarium — a living terrarium of tiny, curious creatures called Neeblies. Watch them hatch, play, and form shimmering little societies that grow, change, and remember.Dev note: I started this project to explore genetics and emergent behaviors, and it slowly grew into a peaceful little world I genuinely enjoy watching. I hope you find it calming too. At first, you’re simply their …

Set in the depths of the ocean during the Cold War, Surviving the Abyss challenges you to build and manage a deep-sea research facility focused on human cloning. Balance oxygen, power, food, and crew morale while exploring and mining resources in a hostile, dark environment filled with dangerous, mysterious creatures. Expand your base, conduct genetic experiments, and survive the Abyss’s unforgiving threats.

Deep Among the Swarm is a challenging survival RTS roguelite where you defend against massive waves of monsters while expanding your base and collecting resources. Customize your units and buildings with various weapons, armor, and upgrades to strengthen your army. Use meta progression to improve your chances as you dive deeper into the swarm.
