❤ Tile Placement Puzzle Gameplay

You take on the role of godlike entities called Giants, each with unique abilities over plants, animals, and minerals. Your task is to strategically place these "biotica" on a planetary landscape, creating thriving ecosystems to support the growing human settlements.

❤ Symbiotic Interactions

At the core of the gameplay is a tile placement puzzle. Each turn, you have a limited number of actions to position and upgrade the biotica, carefully considering their symbiotic relationships. Placing a rabbit next to certain plants, for example, may boost their food production, while positioning a mineral deposit near specific animals can increase their wealth generation. Finding the optimal combinations is crucial to generating the most "prosperity" for the humans.

❤ Progression and Unlocks

As you progress, the game introduces new and more powerful biotica, as well as additional abilities for your Giants. This progression system allows for increasing complexity and strategic depth, as you gain access to a wider array of options to experiment with and optimize. Unlocking these new elements provides a sense of meta-progression, driving you to continue playing and improving.

❤ Biome and Terrain Manipulation

In addition to biotica placement, you can also terraform the planet's landscape, creating different biomes like forests, deserts, and oceans. The type of biome and terrain features impact the growth and bonuses of the biotica, giving you another layer of strategy to consider when shaping your world.

❤ Balancing Human Needs

While the focus is on creating efficient, high-yielding ecosystems, you must also balance the needs and goals of the human settlements. Each settlement has a unique leader with specific resource requirements, and you must carefully plan your biotica placement to meet the evolving demands of the growing civilizations.

❤ Relaxed, Turn-Based Gameplay

The gameplay has a distinctly relaxed and meditative feel, thanks to its turn-based structure and lack of strict time pressure. You can take your time to ponder your moves and experiment with different strategies, without the stress of a real-time countdown. This allows for a more thoughtful, puzzle-solving experience that many reviewers have praised as engaging and satisfying.
