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.

Adventure Mode:

Play trough 9 missions, and unlock new creatures, plants and minerals for the Free Mode.

Key Features:

Give animals/plants/minerals energy, and their species will multiply and reproduce more over time Take energy from animals/plants/minerals and their species will die and/or stop reproducing New animals/plants/minerals occasionally appear near your island, and can be incorporated into your ecosystem Animals have different diets, and need food to survive Land randomly grows over time, creating and expanding islands Day/night, random weather and disasters that affect spawning and animal behaviors Adventure Mode gives short challenges, and unlocks new creatures, plants and minerals Free Mode lets you choose what objects to start with, from creatures, plants and minerals unlocked Animal poop

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.
