miNOMalism

miNOMalism is a minimalistic food chain ecosystem simulator, with you being its lowest part. However, thanks to pheromone distribution, you can control bigger creatures and keep the races from going extinct and thus the whole ecosystem in a balance. The game was created during one weekend for Ludum Dare 26, the theme was “minimalism“.
