Survive.
Allocate. Reproduce.

Manage a changing carbon–water budget. Balance photosynthetic gain against water loss, acquire nutrients, and complete a reproductive cycle.

Three levels: Establish → Grow → Reproduce. Complete each level’s goals in 90 seconds. Health 0 or unfinished goals at the deadline means failure.

A simplified physiology model: rates use game units, not measured biological values. Movement, tokens and accelerated development are abstractions.
