To the mayfly, the mortal coil is always near its end, but the the imperative of immortality must be addressed first. Accumulate health to transition to your final form while staying clear of dangers and the sands of time. Then couple and throw your genetics down the well of time.

Goals

Your goal is survival of your genetics and your species. Gain health by eating the green food pellets. Gain enough health to evolve to your flying form. Once there, couple with your mates to propagate your genes to the next generation.

Time is always ticking away. You can add a bit more time by eating the magenta pellets.

Game Controls:

  • Shift -- press and hold the Shift key (either one) to propel yourself.
  • Mouse -- you'll track toward the mouse's location as you move.

Game Notes:

  • Different dots provide different benefits (food, or added time)
  • Green dots - food
  • Magenta dots - time
  • Couple with other flying forms by colliding with them.
