In this predator-prey simulation game, you control a green segmented lizard competing against a yellow AI lizard. Both characters navigate the environment seeking food, avoiding obstacles, and potentially hunting each other. Your goal is to grow larger, manage your hunger, and outscore your opponent in this dynamic ecosystem.
• Move your mouse or swipe on touch devices to control your green lizard.
• Collect red berries to grow larger and reduce hunger (the larger the berry, the more points you earn).
• Blue berries provide a temporary speed boost, helping you catch more food or escape danger.
• Monitor your hunger meter at the top of the screen - if it gets too high, you'll start shrinking.
• Avoid gray obstacles that will slow you down and limit movement.
• If you grow significantly larger than the yellow lizard, you can consume it for a major point bonus.
• Be careful - if the yellow lizard grows larger than you, it can eat you instead!
• Click or tap the screen once to enable sound effects (recommended for the best experience).
• Hunger System: Both lizards have hunger meters that gradually increase. When hunger reaches critical levels (red meter), lizards begin to shrink.
• Growth Mechanics: Eating berries increases your size, but with diminishing returns - the more you eat, the less you grow from each berry.
• Adaptive AI: The yellow lizard adapts its strategy based on your performance. If it's losing, it gets slight speed advantages through rubber-banding.
• Size Advantage: A significantly larger lizard can consume a smaller one, gaining a substantial point and size boost.
• Collision Physics: When lizards of similar size collide, they bounce off each other based on their relative masses.
• Speed Boosts: Blue berries provide temporary acceleration, helpful for catching prey or escaping predators.
• Strategic Obstacles: Gray barriers force careful navigation and can be used tactically to evade the opponent.
• Score Competition: The ultimate goal is to outscore your opponent through smart foraging and predation strategies.
• Balance berry collection with opponent awareness - don't focus solely on food while ignoring the yellow lizard.
• When smaller, prioritize high-value berries in open areas away from your opponent.
• Use obstacles to your advantage when escaping a larger predator.
• Speed boosts can be saved for critical moments like escaping danger or rushing toward valuable food.
• Pay attention to the hunger meters - a larger lizard with critical hunger might be vulnerable despite its size.
• If you're significantly larger, don't hesitate to hunt the yellow lizard for a major advantage.
• The game features rubber-banding, so if you're behind, you'll have slightly improved speed to help catch up.
