Carbon-Based Life Form

Spore meets Rain World? A survival metroidvainia maybe?

This a prototype that came out of the idea of a game that moves between an incremental game interface and a difficult 2D platforming world. Letting you tap into different branches of the evolutionary tree to gain and incrementally improve movement abilities to further traverse and explore a 2D platforming world.

In reality, it became a useful project to learn how to build out basic game systems that took me down a lot of biochemistry rabbit holes, but without much to show for it. 

Unlock ~human accurate digestion, metabolism, and protein synthesis systems (everything is in grams), interacting with the panel in the bottom-right corner and pretending that's as fun as platforming to gather resources!

Sprint your way into lactic acid buildup! Eat more carbs so your blood sugar doesn't get too low!
