When you're a tiny organism, all you can really do is absorb nutrients through your cell walls from your environment. Roam around and open the floodgates.

You can always work harder to find more resources. But you may exert yourself for nothing.

Ocean Shallows

The nearest to the sun that your organism will come

When you're a tiny organism, all you can really do is absorb nutrients through your cell walls from your environment. Roam around and open the floodgates.

Opportunities

Opportunities

Take it easy

If you work too hard, you may run out of energy before being able to find food. You've decided not to strain yourself.

Exert yourself

A very chancy challenge

You can always work harder to find more resources. But you may exert yourself for nothing.


Absorption

A couple of minerals, some vitamins. You have enough energy to keep going for now.

Resourcefulness has increased to 2!

You've gained 5 x Inorganic Materials (new total 25).

A modest challenge

You were lucky this time, and were able to grab enough nutrients to last you a while.

You succeeded in a Resourcefulness challenge!

You've gained 15 x Inorganic Materials (new total 40).

Use the tides to find nutrients

A very modest challenge

You can let the tides take you to new places in the hopes of finding a bounty of nutrients.

Don't go too far

Your environment may be bigger than you think. You want to be careful about how far you go.

Explore without hesitation

A modest challenge

Certainly your environment can't be that scary.

NOTE: This will always use up an "Energy Reserve."


Off you go!
