Biotopia

About this game

Put your feet up & let your hair down, and spend some time filling an empty void with a vibrant little landscape. Biotopia aims to be a perfect companion while listening to a podcast or an audio book, with its addictive yet unobtrusive gameplay.



Earn points by connecting tiles with similar biomes, and earn coveted bonus tiles by planning your placements carefully. Enjoy getting into the zone and staying there, plopping down pieces one by one and making the world grow.



Diversity increases as your landscape expands, and new biomes will unlock when you reach certain milestones. All these can attract different kinds of wildlife; each with their own requirements and desires. Try finding them all, and complete the expansive ingame biotopedia.

• Highscore mode if you want to challenge yourself and unlock a bunch of achievements.
  
• Endless mode if you prefer to relax and play in your own way without any failure states.
  
• Creative mode if you'd rather be a worldscaper and paint the world as you see fit.

Biotopia is under active development by a single person. If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback I would love to hear from you!

I'm putting together a demo ASAP, so wishlist and follow to get it as soon as it’s available! <3

  Demo version 1.3.1

  Additions/Changes Inspecting a biotope will now highlight neighboring positions that must be filled in order for the biotope to be completely enclosed. Minor adjustments to levelup requirements, and some animal balancing. Toned down mouse rotation sensitivity a smidge. Fixes Fixed: The game would become unresponsive/crash when undoing a levelup by placing an animal while having no landscape tiles left. (phew) Fixed: Missing/stuck completion outline on biotope inspection labels. Fixed: Animal inspection popup usually covers most of the territory; gave it a little more space. Fixed: Pieces snapping to unseen landscape while the mouse pointer is outside the screen. Fixed: Misaligned demo version label while playing with a really wide display resolution.

  Demo Version 1.3

  Additons/Changes The level cap has been increased from level 8 to level 10. There's a bit of a difficulty spike in reaching level 9 and 10. Two new animals have been added. A few existing animals have been updated; both point values and territory layouts. A small reminder will pop up if it seems like the player isn't aware that landscape pieces can be rotated. The camera rotation direction can now be inverted via the settings menu. Keyboard rotation and mouse rotation can be inverted separately. While inspecting an animal, all points received from likes and desire bonuses are now shown. A few minor changes to various colors in the world. Fixes Fixed: Biotope labels weren't updated as often as they should, which could lead to colors or descriptions being incorrect. Fixed: A few minor edge cases could lead to tiny cracks in the landscape.

  Demo Version 1.2

  Minor additions/changes The camera can now be rotated by pressing and holding the right mouse button while moving the mouse. The inspection mode list-thing has been replaced by actual buttons, which should be a bit easier to make sense of. You can still change the mode by right-clicking anywhere though, if you want. The requirements for unlocking biomes and animals are now still visible after discovery. New discoveries are highlighted with a small blip. The icon for "landscape pieces" was replaced with something that sorta looks like a puzzle piece (if you squint).

  Demo Version 1.1

  Minor changes The controls displayed in the lower left corner can now be toggled on or off in the settings menu. The piece counter in the lower right corner will now change colors when you're running low on pieces. Animal treat icons will be visible when zoomed further in; hopefully mushrooms will be easier to spot in forests now. Bugfixes Stopped the game going bananas/becoming unresponsive in certain situations where two biotopes were merged. The visuals of lakes that're converted to boggy lakes are updated entirely.
