Spore Valley

Spore Valley is a bite-sized resource management puzzle!

Try to live out the life cycle of an alien slime mold, from first growth to reproduction, by balancing your growth and your nutrient needs.

Your planet is harsh, and the soil is mostly barren beyond of the narrow banks of the planet's rivers.

If you succeed, the next generation of slime molds will thank you!

Gameplay

Spore Valley is a turn-based resource management game about optimizing your growth within a highly constrained area. With each turn you accumulate up to 5 different resources, and you expend those resources to maintain and grow your biomass into a variety of forms.

There are 14 different biological forms your slime mold can grow, and you will need to balance their relative ratios and their placement in order for your slime mold to grow and reproduce without outgrowing your available resources and starving.

You only have limited space to work with, and you may need to make some tough choices in order to complete your life cycle and produce a crop of spores while avoiding starvation.

Roadmap

Spore Valley is targeting a late 2024 release. The gameplay loop, technical underpinnings, and asset scope is complete, and development is currently focused on improving the art, UI, and audio components of the game.

It is the first game by Vancouver independent developer Lystrosaurus Studio.
