Primordial Soup

Primordial Soup is a free evolution strategy game for your browser. You lead an organism in a living soup that grows on its own: click an enemy to attack with a strength you choose, or click free soup to steer your growth. Spend DNA in an open evolution tree with eight branches - metabolism, growth, armor, poison, agility, immune system, light and spores - and throw spores over rocks and enemies. Hydrothermal vents and light zones reward smart expansion. Win with 80 percent of the soup or as the last survivor. Play multiplayer with up to six players plus AI organisms, in a quick match with Elo rating or a private match with friends. It runs on phone (landscape) and desktop.

How to play

Your organism grows automatically. Click an enemy to attack it, with the strength you set, or click free soup to steer your growth there. Collect DNA and buy nodes in the evolution tree to get stronger. Take hydrothermal vents and light zones, and throw spores over rocks and enemies to settle new ground. You win with 80 percent of the soup or as the last survivor. In multiplayer, start a quick match with Elo rating or invite friends to a private match. Inspired by the game idea of OpenFront.io; Primordial Soup is its own game with its own code and graphics.
