Simulation, Casual, Survival, Management game. There is nothing much to do, just observe as plant grow and die. Overall, I rate it ⭐and half 134 mb, but boring. Plus, early access.
So it's Spore, with some gameplay changes. I don't see how this is any more "simulation" than spore.. Aren't all games simulation? Either this developer has Aspergers or his English is just bad.
This game simulates evolution better, there's no "selection" in spore, you always will be the apex predator with exception to those alpha creatures. Your species doesn't even need to be the best, just good enough to survive until tribal stage.
