BONUS TOMT:

I'm looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points, to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.

Thrive: the cell-stage in Spore but more in-depth.

You float around looking for various compounds for energy and to grow. After growing you can add parts to the cell or modify it's membrane type or the behavior of AI-controlled copies (you lose if there are no others of your species when you die). You can also migrate to a new environment with different resources (including sunlight). The game ends when you live long enough or complete evolutionary objectives for which the next stage is a work in progress. It can often be easy or difficult to survive, depending on your choices.

Protip: you can modify the cell to be faster at the expense of less HP - would recommend.

Thrive screenshot of gameplay. There are small cells and different colored gas compounds.

Thrive looks like an excellent evolution game.

I haven't tried it yet, but did watch the retrospective video from one of the core developers who joined the Dev team as a teen. Can't find the link for that video, can anyone post it?

Good gameplay tips.
