ECOSYSTEM
ECOSYSTEM is a food web simulator with fun creatures.
Choose how many of each creature spawn and watch them live. Your goal to try and create a balanced, sustainable ecosystem.
Buddies and dutties eat plants. Rummies eat plants or detritus.
Borgs eat buddies and dutties. Corgs eat dutties and rummies.
Bungees eat borgs and corgs.
Plants spawn in random increments of time. If no detritus is being recycled (eaten) or if there are too few plants, they will spawn less and eventually die off completely.
If an animal eats enough food, it will spawn another of itself. If it cannot eat in enough time, it will die naturally and turn into detritus.
To win, you must have your ecosystem survive at least 60 seconds with at least 1 of every animal still alive.

This is great but I don't think my students will have access. Is there a way I can download this game?
Thanks for your interest in showing this to your students! While I appreciate it, this game was made for a game jam (made in just a few days) and is very rough around the edges & wasn't very much intended to be educational. I encourage you to find a more polished and educationally-focused ecosystem simulator.
I do not have a downloadable build for this game however it is HTML5 so it can be played on most browsers including mobile. I recommend Chrome or Firefox.
