Mold is a small slime mold simulation game.\nYou can edit some parameters in prefs.\nTo play, press start and then click on a point in the grid to place an attractor. The mold will attempt to grow towards it depending on the preferences set.

Simulations are always a cool idea, especially when you are able to play around with parameters. But as for a lot of games some music would have been nice.

Also descriptions on what each parameter would have helped me to understand what I do.

The slimes keep orbiting in one location. I don’t know what parameters affect what…

Interesting to watch it grow and mutate.

I wouldn’t really say that this is a game, but what it does do, it does well.

I love cellular automata! Very interesting to watch and try to influence the growth of the mold. Great work.

Who doesn’t love slime! A very unique entry that I am glad to see. It would be great to see this transformed into a game. Perhaps you need to create certain slime shapes in a limited amount of time?

I love simulation games. This looks nice and i like the concept a lot.\nI find it a bit unclear though. The attractors sometimes don’t work and are just ignored. I wish there was a little more that I could do here. Real mold would grow to different places where there’s food and moisture, so maybe exploring that would be nice.\nNot sure how it fits the death theme.\nIt’s a great visual experience though. Great job.

That is a quite interesting concept! Happy to see some simulation in this game jam.\nWhat I liked:
