Game Basics

Pre-game

Pick two animals from a giant list and the game will morph them together into a hybrid animal!

Creation

To create a creature, choose two animals (a mom and a dad) from the giant selection on the creation screen. Depending on what 'animal' you use, the hybrid creature will have different powers (see below), and different names. ^{(main article, Creatures)}

In-game

Exploration

After making your hybrid, explore! Collect items to craft them into better items to collect more items to craft even better items. Earn experience (EXP) points by eating enemies, mining certain objects and destroying XP orbs to level up the hybrid and make it stronger.  Find rare items in chests scattered all around your virtual world, and build to your heart's extent. The possibilities are endless.

Battle

Through exploring the huge and randomly generated world, the player will uncover new places, new terrains... and new creatures. These creatures are also hybrids, however; they are considered evil. The player creature will have to battle them to earn experience points, especially if the enemy is hostile against the player.

Once the enemy creature is defeated (or eaten, as it is more commonly called), the player hybrid will get more XP.

Upgrades

Upgrade Points are acquired through leveling up the player creature. These could be used to boost specific stats of your hybrid, like Attack or Health.

Once the player upgrades, certain aspects of their monster will be boosted. For example, Mining will increase your ability to mine stuff. Crafting will give you more items to craft using the Workbench and the Anvil. Attack will make the attack power rise while Health will up max health.

More detail of this feature can be found at article Upgrades.

Power

Every sixth stat upgrade will give an additional Perk (or less commonly, Power).

The player starts with one perk, but may add up as they go through the game.

A Perk (or Power) is an ability that will help you throughout the game; like Giant - which turns the player into a giant. They can be selected at the bottom-right corner of the screen while playing.
