LEVEL 01 / THE HATCHERY

HUNT THE HIVE.

The Hatchery is alive with Skitters and Burrow Runners. Prey never wait for you: chase, corner, and force them into your growing body. Each capture earns 3 evolution energy; rare orbs spawn roughly every 20–32 seconds for 1 energy.

ORIGINAL CHIPTUNE SOUNDTRACKS

Four original 8-bit loops. Enemy Hunt music now starts automatically during active hunts when enabled. Miniboss and Boss themes are previewable ahead of their upcoming encounters.

NOW SELECTED The Hatchery Theme · 108 BPM

Hunt music is live. Miniboss and Boss previews are for upcoming encounters. MUSIC OFF mutes the soundtrack without muting sound effects.

LOADING RANKED SCORES...

Scores are replayed by the server against a seeded run. This verifies game rules, not human input. Public profile handles are user-supplied until a shared-site identity bridge is available.

CREATURE CODEX45 BODY TYPES + HEAD / TAIL

Concept-sheet pixel art, now used by the actual moving creature. Each new body plate cycles through WUBRG.

W · WHITEU · BLUEB · BLACKR · REDG · GREEN

CAPTURE MOVING PREY

Trap enemies against your living body for 3 energy each. Smart prey keep moving to escape.

RARE BROOD

Glowing orbs appear much less often, granting 1 energy and a new segment.

EVOLVE TO SURVIVE

Every 5 energy opens a WUBRG mutation draft. Red doubles score, not evolution energy.
