Game: Feed On Fractals
Game: Feed On Fractals
Story:
You and your partner are little sea-dragons floating among glowing particles in an under-water world. You want to grow beautiful fractal seaweed by guiding nutrient rich particles to your fractal to help it grow. When a nutrient particle touches your fractal, the fractal spawns a fractal vine and changes its roots by zooming into its Mandelbrot root-set. At some point your fractal produces a new seed. When this happens, you and your partner together need to go after the seedling fractal. As you harvest the seed it will produce new nutrient particles, however, these will survive and grow only if your partner is near to touch them. Now you are ready to play and explore your fractal roots!
Controls:
You can move up and down, left and right using W/S/A/D keys (player 1) and up/down/left/right keys (player 2). You interact with glowing particles by bouncing them off each other and off the edges of the screen toward the central orb. You can change music tracks (1-3) by pressing the number keys 1 - 3. The board to the right tells you the number of collisions of particles, avatars and the see-weed. The board to the left tells you how many seeds have been produced and the track that is playing. Enjoy!
