Controls: left & right arrow keys to cycle between food items. Click to use the food in your moina tank! Hold 'X' to use a ruler, which shows the baseline store-bought moina. Use it to compare your own moina breed to what they started as! To change what the text displays, hold down your mouse on the 'mode' button. It will change its displays from total weight, cash, and amount of moina in the holding chamber. If you want to see average colors in your holding chamber, hold down on the color gradient. Hold 'Z' and hover over moina to cull it. This eliminates the moina and its genetics, allowing for hybridization. Hold 'E' and hover near moina to put it into the holding chamber. Necessary for selling them to fulfill contracts. Click the transparent black rectangle on the side of your screen to open up the tablet. Whenever a client has a notification, check it out, then press 'A', which will accept the contract. You earn money by putting the specified amount and type of moina into the holding chamber, then pressing space. Brown food nourishes little and is metabolized quickly, resulting in sad moina very quickly. Green food nourishes moderately and metabolized modarately. Gold food nourishes plentifully and metabolizes very slowly. Best food for mass-production. Air stones increase population size by 9 every time you buy one. Limit of 3 air stones.
Update log: 7/14/26 - v 0.01 - bare minimum prototype is created, the only thing they can do is swim around and stuff. Just gonna be a chill game with minimalistic design. No loop yet. 7/15/26 - v0.02-1 - prototype now has a money system, you can catch the little guys, there's genetics now, and food. None of these are interactable yet but they are going to be very soon. (Implementation of these systems took ages...) 7/15/26 - v.0.02-2 - slightly different interface, integrating the moina shop system. 7/15/26 - v.0.03 - Shop system works. You can technically play forever now as long as you manage your money. I have actually successfully created breeds such as pure white and large moina. 7/15/26 - v.0.03-1 - Slight ui rework and art changes. 7/16/26 - v.0.03-2 - added trophy chamber, hover over moina while pressing 1 7/18/26 - v0.03-3 - reworked buying moina; now you can only buy a moina if you have no moina left 7/18/26 - v0.04 - second amazing playable version with quality of life additions! Includes a "ruler" (hold x to see the size of a store-bought moina) which helps you track your moina's growth! Trophy chamber can hold lots of moina, and anything captured in any chambers won't contribute to the genetic makeup of the population! Make your own breed! Make your own things!! AWAIT THE FUTURE! 7/18/26 - v.0.04-1 recolored the ruler and changed moina behavior rules 7/18/26 - v.0.1 - complete game overhaul. Crazy graphic effects, changed pretty much every aspect. Added: color scale that shows your moina colors - press it for a long time to toggle the views. The second view displays your holding chamber's average colors, essential for completions of contracts in the future. Added: tablet, theres a gray slightly invisible rectangle on the side, click it and hover over the guy with the red dot, then press space to accept. Then fulfill the contract by putting 15 moina into the holding chamber and pressing space. There's no reward yet, though, because I somehow didn't have enough time. (Lots will be added in the future) Added: water caustic effect Added: Parallax background Added: Semi-functional contract system Added: other small details so uh you can get softlocked because contracts aren't fully implemented, whoops! v.0.1-1 : moina is now infinitely replayable! The first character (named Carl) works completely! Hold down the "mode" button to change what your text displays. Hold down the color gradient to show the average color of your holding tank. Over time carl will be available for contract. Fulfill the needs and he will pay you. Cull unwanted moina with "z"! Culling moina doesn't provide money but it lets you breed your very own morphs. v.0.1-2 - airstones are in the game! Every airstone increases the cap of moina by 9. Have fun!
