Pixling World is a living, breathing ecosystem of tens of thousands of virtual plants and animals called Pixlings. The appearances and behaviors of the Pixlings evolve as they are all competing for survival, just as in nature. Your role is that of an alien scientist and gardener, who is exploring the creatures and trying to stimulate them to evolve in the most interesting ways. Together with a community of other scientists, we are all searching for the most exciting new lifeforms.
Some of the things you can enjoy in this game:

Real darwinian evolution.
Hundreds of thousands of creatures in a single world.
The latest from artificial intelligence research used to power and evolve their brains.
A complex environment with a realistic water cycle including evaporation, rain and groundwater.
A community of other players, all collaborating to find the most interesting creatures.

New brains, mushrooms and three-slot system (0.17.0)

- New brains: A more standard RNN, trimmed down to optimize both running speed and evolution speed.
- New focus "search" system for Pixlings, which enables them to find things like "nearby enemy with the lowest hp".
- Stamina: Moving drains stamina, but they can rest to regain stamina.
- Removed: Entity memories, pheromones, buckets, speaking and old attention mechanism.
- Fortify buff: Stacks up to 10 times and add one armor per instance. Damage = baseDamage / armor.
- Mushrooms: Health/mana/stamina/fortify mushrooms that the Pixlings can eat to restore some of their corresponding value. These also give Pixlings more of a reason to roam the world.
- Heal ability.
- Stun ability renamed to Boomerang.
- Three-slot system: Eyes, arms and legs now each have a list of abilities to choose from. For instance you can have Eyes: Laser, Arms: Boomerang and Legs: Stomp. The selected abilities evolve over time.
- Auto-pause game on extinction events.
- Removed drowning and made Pixlings that enter water teleport to some other part of the island instead. This is to encourage exploration (vs. just going in circles).
