A LITTLE GUIDE
Start tiny. Grow into something new.
Gene Tide is a microscopic survival journey. Begin as a small cell, gather biomass and absorb different gene samples as the surrounding ecosystem changes. What you eat helps shape how your creature evolves.
Your little mission
Meet each stage’s growth and adaptation requirements to evolve through six ecosystems. In the final stage, complete the required growth and adaptation and defeat the leviathan to finish the journey.
A few helpful ideas
- Read the current adaptation objective instead of chasing biomass alone.
- Seek the gene types you still need, rather than always eating the nearest target.
- Use short dashes to escape danger and leave room to retreat from larger creatures.
