THE GUIDE · FOUR PANELS
The view
You begin as a fly in an arena you share with everybody else who is playing. Anything smaller than you is food; anything larger is a problem. Eating fills a bar, and when the bar is full you evolve into the next creature up the ladder — and immediately inherit a new set of things that can eat you.
Water matters as much as food. Your creature drinks to stay alive, which forces you out of whatever cover you found and into the open on a schedule you do not control. A run ends when something bigger catches you, and the arena carries on without you while you start again as a fly.
The keys
Steer with the mouse, or with the arrow keys if you prefer the keyboard. There is nothing else to press — the whole game is steering and deciding what to approach.

Early notes
- ·Stay near the edges while you are small. The middle of the map is where the bigger creatures feed.
- ·Watch the water, not only the food bar. Good runs end dry more often than they end eaten.
- ·Evolving is not safety. Each new form has new predators, so look around before you charge at anything.
- ·Changing direction loses a chaser more reliably than trying to outrun one.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, on Poki, with no purchase on this site or that one.
Do I need an account?
No. Poki runs it in the browser without registration.
Does it work on a phone?
Poki lists computer, phone and tablet. On touch you drag to steer.
THE HONEST HALF
Who it's good company for
People who like a shared arena, do not mind starting over, and enjoy a ladder they can see.
Two things to weigh
- ·It is competitive by nature. The other creatures are other people, and early deaths are normal.
- ·Nothing carries over. Every run starts as a fly again.
