Ecolibrium is a game where you try to manage the food chain and achieve your objectives, by placing colorful critters on the planet in the right biome to eat, reproduce and either die peacefully or get eaten. Creatures can't all fit in the limited space of their ideal biomes, either, so it's necessary to choose carefully where you put them.

Really cool game! It has a ton of depth and you strategize forever what the best placements could be. That graphics and audio are really cute too.
It's just a little laggy on my computer but that could be because of web version probably..

Beautiful game, maybe 2 minutes is too little time, or I'm just bad lol

It is pretty. but I haven't the slightest idea what's going on.

I was blown away by the art! Would have loved more of a tutorial to start the game off, but once I figured out the stats/mechanics for the different species it was a lot of fun!

The graphics are stunning but I'm not really sure what to do, I haven't really understood how the animals work together and how the areas work. However, I think that the idea is really good and that by improving the game it can really be good!

Good job finishing this! Not entirely sure why some creatures died and some didn't. I really like the idea of a creature simulation though.

Interesting! Maybe it could benefit from a tutorial level, or a gradual ramp-up in complexity

I love the art, the idea of using the Biosphere as the concept of Limited Space is really out of the box and interesting. The graphics are really classy and I had no issues whatsoever with speed in the web version, and my PC is considerably old by now. Took a while to understand, but I could see this concept growing.

A tutorial would be nice. I was too lazy to read the instructions and thought "learning by doing" will do the trick, but not in this game! The artstyle is great and the audio was also nice.

I'll agree with other commenters here, it took a bit of time to really understand what was happening and why, but once you figure it out it's a really fun and engaging experience! The art style is so unique and works perfectly for this type of game. I liked the music too!

Interesting idea. The graphics and music are beautiful. It's a bit confusing, maybe with a tutorial or having to unlock some species would help. Great work!

That is a crazy scope for a simulation. I'd love a full game about that, tho, with tutorials, game modes and stuff. Really innovative stuff
