You design a creature by shaping its spine, attaching body parts, and choosing its colors, patterns, and textures. The finished creature can move through different environments, with its animation adapting to them.
Take your creature into handcrafted worlds to explore forests, oceans, and other areas, collect parts, complete quests, and battle enemies. The game also includes minigames and online play.
Parts affect your creature’s stats and can grant abilities such as flying, swimming, or biting. Quests earn cash to put back into your creature, while creative mode makes all parts available for building.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the freedom to design unusual creatures and see them move through the world, along with multiplayer, exploration, and the ability to make and share creations. Other reviews find the editor restrictive or fiddly and the activities outside creature-building too limited, describing the experience as sparse or short on things to do.
The core gameplay loop involves constructing creatures to explore hand-crafted worlds and collecting body parts and patterns to upgrade your creature. You can then use your newly acquired abilities to complete quests to earn cash and re-invest into your creature. However, if you’re more interested in just creating creatures, then you can switch over to creative mode and everything will already be unlocked!
Customize the shape of your creature by manipulating its spine and attaching transformable body parts. Altering your creature then changes its statistics (e.g., weight, speed, health etc.) and attaching certain body parts gives it special abilities (e.g., flying, swimming, biting etc.).
Change the color of your creature’s body and attached body parts, as well as the pattern and texture of your creature’s skin.
When you’re finished designing your creature, you can bring it to life! Traverse forests, swim in the ocean or fly high above the clouds — your creature will procedurally animate to adapt to its environment.
