Neuromother is a game about creating critters to help maintain an ever expanding alien colony. 

Scale up from a small group of gatherers to swarms of unique organisms to fulfil Mother's dream of leaving the planet. 

Tutorial: The goal is to get the required resource from corresponding resource nodes back to Mother by strategically building your swarm of critters.

Left Click the "Add Critter" button to begin customization.

On the left of the screen you can allocate stat points, these influence your critter's looks and abilities (speed, lifespan, carrying capacity, etc)

On the bottom right you can click "Add Behaviour" to alter your critters behaviour.

After you have completed your critter hit the green "Save Critter" button.

At any point you can delete a current critter by hitting the red X located at the bottom of the screen, above their character portrait.

TIPS:

Some resources require long travel times, move speed & lifespan matter!

Always try creating new critters whenever Mother levels up.

In the Add Critter page, Critter behaviour priority goes from top to bottom.

wish you could tell the difference between the little guys you make ,here are some options:

1-make me choose the color of the critters 

2-put numbers on top of the critters 

3-and make it so you can see the stats by clicking on them so i can know what its purpose

good game tho

I was going to add the ability to name them, but numbers would have been easier :D Thank you!

fun game, there's a bit of a mismatch between how polished and bijoux all the art is compared to the UI and gameplay (not that those are crude or poor by any means), but it's enjoyable enough

Thank you!
