Another week, another exciting update! The tutorial system has been completely reworked, with 7 new tutorials added to cover more aspects of the microbe editor and microbe stage. This should make it much easier for new players to learn the game and experiment with different strategies!
We’ve also introduced a global glaciation event, which reduces light in all surface patches and adds more ice chunks. This change brings a new layer of environmental challenge, making adaptation even more crucial for survival.
