Eufloria

Eufloria is a real-time strategy indie computer game created by independent developers Alex May, Rudolf Kremers and Brian Granger.

Previously, the game was called Dyson after the hypothetical tree of Freeman Dyson . Dyson tree is a genetically engineered plant that can be planted on a comet to create an atmosphere in hollow spaces. Such trees could provide an autonomous habitat for humans outside the solar system.

The game is made in a minimalist style. The player has at his disposal an asteroid (in the form of a ball) with trees planted on it, as well as flying grains growing on these trees. The goal of the game is to capture empty and enemy asteroids by controlling seed migration. Seeds have three characteristics: speed, energy, impact force. At the same time, in order to plant one tree, 10 grains are needed, no matter what. Trees are divided into two types: those that produce seeds and protective. Over time, unusual petals grow on some trees that can be grafted onto trees. If such a petal is grafted to a tree producing seeds, then the grains from this tree will have increased characteristics. And if you plant it on a protective tree, then a flower will grow on the tree, which must be removed from it. This flower has ten times enhanced characteristics, while it can be controlled in the same way as ordinary grains and sent to other asteroids to protect or release them. ^[one]
