Enter the Darwinian world of a galactic mote. Absorb, or be absorbed...

The hit iOS game comes to Android! To celebrate, we're launching at the sweet sale price of $2.99!

 

Absorb or be absorbed! Enter the Darwinian world of a galactic mote. To survive, absorb smaller organisms and grow-but beware of larger predators!
