Shape a barren island into a thriving, wacky ecosystem in this indie casual game. Grant energy to arriving animals, plants, and minerals to help them multiply, or zap them to control growth. Balance diets, food chains, and random events like day/night cycles, weather, and disasters to prevent collapse, while land expands naturally.
Adventure Mode delivers nine missions with targeted challenges that unlock new species for Free Mode experimentation. Free Mode starts with your picks from unlocked items, aiming for a vibrant, self-sustaining world-or watch it wither if neglected. Casual players who enjoy simple simulation and balance puzzles will find steady engagement here.
Shape an empty island into a wacky ecosystem. Spirit is a simple and casual ecosystem game where you start with an empty island. New random inhabitants will seek refuge on your island over time, both animals, plants and other elements. It's in your power to zap them, or grant them amnesty in your world. As you give and take power from various species, they will thrive or wither away. But take care to keep a balance of creatures, plants and minerals, or your fragile world will soon fall apart.

The Food Chain
At the heart of Spirit is the food chain, which you must carefully balance. An example island may start off as a simple landmass with bushes and a few birds. The Spirit can energize and grow the objects you desire, and the game world learns and evolves from your actions. Creating more bushes and energizing them will grow more berries, which again supports more birds. Energizing- and allowing the birds to multiply will create a colorful display, but tipping the balance too much will leave all the bushes picked dry, and eventually the birds starving. As new inhabitants seek amnesty on your islands, you have to make tough decisions as to i.e. what kind of carnivore population your handful of birds can sustain, or if you have to seek out alternate food sources or more space first.
The objective in Free Mode is simply to create a thriving island, which under your guidance can become huge and vibrant, while left untended will soon wither and become an empty lump of land. In Adventure Mode, each mission has a more specific objective, with unique wacky experiences.
