Resilient little bastards. I set it to spawn one piece of food per minute, and they just kept multiplying.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.

Cool game.

I isolated 4 species and let they evolve with high probability of mutation.

Then I made the food rare and let them fight for food with low mutation.

Amazing to see the stronger one dominating over a period of time.
