A word about Microbe

Hi!
For the last copule of days, I have been so focused on Microbe development, that I almost forgotten to write something about the game.

So what is Microbe? The game is a sandbox RPG bacteria "simulator". You take a role of a bacteria (at least at the begining) and try to survive in an ocean full of danger. 

You need to collect food to survive, avoid oxygen geysers and other hazards, flee from stronger microbes that will try to eat you, collect "resources" such as DNA or aminoacids to mutate and cteate new cellular structures.

You will be able to find a kind of items, that will grant you specific bonuses. Being an anaerobe? Collect peroxysomes that will help you to remove all that oxygen from your cell. If you collect enough elements and evolve specific genes, you will be able to craft some items too.

If there is no food around, you can spend some of your lipids to produce energy. But be aware - using lipids to produce energy generates oxygen that is extremely dangerous!

I am currently working on player statistics and equipment window, evolution steps and items system. Work goes on very fast and I am pretty sure that playable version will be available soon.
