Plankton is a minimalist digital pet where you nurture a single-celled organism that gradually evolves as it feeds and levels up. The game requires minimal interaction, making it ideal for background engagement while multitasking, though it prioritizes atmosphere and calm observation over active gameplay or narrative depth.

A simple, single-cell virtual pet.

I think $0.99 might be a more fair price for the game given that there is not much to it but I wanted to support a new developer.

I would like to see an option for a larger display. Going full screen would make it a bit more difficult to catch food but would look better on my screen.

Current game save is located at C:\Users\$username\AppData\Local\game. Might be better to save it as "Plankton" rather than "game" so one could find it easier.

An icon on the bar rather than the defaul EXE icon would be nice.

What is Plankton?
Start with a single celled organism and watch it evolve as it consumes food and ranks up.
If you are a fan of low-stress games with a relaxing atmosphere and graphical style, this will fit those aspects.
A good game to have running while working on tasks or watching TV.
Dont expect to get your heart pumping with adrenaline or to be completely consumed with the story.
A simple and basic game, but nice to watch growing if working on other activities.
All that said, good game for a first time developer, considering how glitch free it is.
In any case, developer should keep developing games, but this game is not for everyone.
Unless you like games that don't require your complete attention, then I can recommend this game.

For the first couple of minutes ... "WTF? What did I just pay money for?"

After a few levels and finally getting the point, a lovely calming little interactive screen saver basically, but not really a game if that's what you're looking for.

Recommended if you have a bit of spare cash, not if you are just about scraping money together for your next game!

An interesting idea, so good luck to the Dev in future endeavours.
