Latest Steam announcements

  • 1.0.4.5 - Click-Movement and restored enzyme unlock fix. - 7 October 2024

    I added the click-movement feature that some have asked for. Its a stepping stone towards some new gameplay mechanics I've been thinking about. Click movement can be disabled in the settings. Along with that theres a new setting - Camera Pulled By Cursor Modifier. Its the best name I could come up with but it does what the name says. The default is all the way off. New Features: - Click Movement feature - (Enable in settings) Clicking the ground sets a movement target for your lifeform. - Camera Pulled By Cursor Modifier setting - (Adjust in settings) This determines how much the camera is pulled towards your cursor. Helpful for seeing further ahead of your lifeform when using click-movement. Fixes: - Disabled mutations for lifeforms in the main menu to prevent menu from slowing down. Restored fix from rolled back patch: - Fixed issue with Enzymes and Complex Enzymes not saving unlocked…

  • 1.0.4.3 (Rollback) 1.0.4.4 May have caused progress save issue. - 29 September 2024

    Rolling back the recent update due to potential save file issue on some systems. Also I accidentally messed up the Cell Morphology list in that update. Changes reverted: - Fixed issue with Enzymes and Complex Enzymes not saving unlocked status after exiting the game.

  • 1.0.4.4 - Fixed enzyme mutation unlocks not saving. - 28 September 2024

    - Fixed issue with Enzymes and Complex Enzymes not saving unlocked status after exiting the game. Apologies if you lost fission points due to this issue. Its possible to "restore" the points by editing the save file in locallow (its in a JSON format) if you're so inclined to do so. However, I'm also working on an 'endless mode' that will make earning fission points much easier.

  • 1.0.4.3 - Balance Changes, UI Improvements, New Stat - 23 July 2024

    - Increased fission rate for player-controlled lifeform. Rate will scale with the controlled lifeform's maximum fission energy requirement. - Increased number maximum of fissions to get another ability to 5. - Increased overall fission points awarded in levels, added total eliminations to calculation. - Increased maximum possible fission points if leaving a level early to 64. - Added food-to-energy conversion rate stat, affects how much energy is gained per unit of food. - Added the new food-to-energy stat to Basic Enzymes and added two new more powerful variations under Stat-Mutations in the Upgrades section. - Improved description text for abilities and mutations. Stats will be shown with more colors and values. - Fixed issue with abilities on hud showing default stats instead of mutated stats on hover tooltip. - Fixed issue with disabling too many stat mutations, if less than 3 stat-…

  • 1.0.3.4 - Minor bug fixes, small sandbox changes - 19 July 2024

    - Fixed a bug where sometimes the player-lifeform fission-ready particle effect would show on other lifeforms. This issue was related to another bug that I'm still working on where sometimes the fission screen won't show when you activate fission but your lifeform will still fission, then both lifeforms will have the fission-ready particle effect. It seems to happen sporadically and rarely but when it does it might happen a few times in a row. - Fixed layout issue on Upgrades Abilities/Mutations tab when scrolling to the bottom. - Lifeforms will now drop any waste that wasn't expelled yet when they are destroyed. Sandbox mode: - Fixed issue where the map for Level 3 was showing locked when it was already unlocked. - Minimap will be hidden when zoomed out. - Increased zoom out range.

  • 1.0.3.2 - Bug Fixes - 18 July 2024

    Fixed another rare bug. - Fixed bug where if your controlled lifeform was destroyed at the exact frame that the binary fission even screen finished its animation, it would not switch to another lifeform and instead become stuck requiring restarting the level. Now instead of switching to another lifeform when destroyed in that situation, your controlled lifeform will become invulnerable once you activate the fission event. - Fixed bug with Constant Fission Energy perk where fission energy would keep increasing past the maximum.

  • 1.0.3.1 - Rare but irritating bug fixed! - 18 July 2024

    - Fixed a bug where the screen would go black except for the UI. This was due to an issue with the map for Level 4/5 in the bottom right corner. Apologies if you experienced this bug - it was rare but most likely to occur on Level 4/5. Due to a hole in the map allowing food to fall through combined with some code for a cut feature that I didn't fully remove. The hole in the map is fixed and the stray code is now removed. - Updated special new morphology to be able to eat poop. - Fixed HUD waste meter display, will show correct waste progress now. - Fixed issues with mission target species not being highlighted or staying highlighted when they shouldn't be on the minimap and population bar. - Adjusted Abilities|Mutations Upgrade screen to indicate scrolling. (I will make more improvements to the whole Upgrades UI in the future.) - Fixed some text sizes and overflow issues on Level Failed…

  • 1.0.2.2 - Levels 2 & 3 Changes - 14 July 2024

    - Changed Levels 2 and 3 objectives and adjusted maps for those levels.

  • 1.0.2.1 - Swarm Mode Settings - 14 July 2024

    - Swarm Mode can be disabled in the settings. (With swarm mode disabled, you won't be able to click enemy lifeforms to target them.) - Swarm Mode distance modifier added to settings - you can increase the distance that the swarm will roam around you to make it less crowded. - Fixed the way lifeforms in swarm mode moved around the player lifeform. They will bump into the player less often now.

  • 1.0.2.0 - Limited Gamepad Support - 10 July 2024

    - Gamepads now work in survival mode for the fission mutation and ability screens. You can scroll through choices with the direction stick and select with A or X depending on the controller, and you can also use WASD and Space to select. (Controller support has not been added to the rest of the game's menus) - Added swarm target section to the Swarm UI

  • 1.0.1.1 - Lag Spike Fix, Scroll Speed - 5 July 2024

    - Fixed a bug that caused occasional lag spikes later into a level. - Fixed issue with Blocking Protein Replication (block cooldown reduction) mutation not applying properly. - Fixed UI scroll speed when using mouse-wheel.

  • 1.0.1.0 - Levels 4,5 Rework, Consolation Points - 4 July 2024

    - Reworked layout of the map for Levels 4 & 5 - made it less likely for targeted species to repopulate too quickly. - Added consolation points if you have to exit a level early for any reason - some fission points will be awarded (depending on number of fissions, capped at 32.) - Updated UI on Survival>>Lifeform Setup window for choosing starting food - options that are not selected will be darker."

About this game

Clone yourself to take over the environment in this bacterial evolution roguelite. Choose mutations and abilities each time you multiply. Use swarm mode to direct your species to attack enemies. Unlock abilities and perks to improve your odds. Compete against other multiplying and evolving species. The environment will change as species evolve or go extinct. Start with one lifeform at the start of each scenario. Then find food, multiply and gain new abilities. Every lifeform in the environment is searching for food nd multiplying. You are not just one lifeform, you are the species - you can switch control to any lifeform in your species as long as you are more than one. Once your population grows enough, you will gain swarm mode where your species will follow the lifeform you are controlling and attack enemies that you target. Choose mutations and new abilities each time you undergo a binary fission event. Mutations can affect your lifeform's traits such as speed, health, energy, food capacity, etc. Abilities can give you bonuses when you bump into food or enemies. Effects on enemy lifeforms include stun, slow, stealing energy, etc. Bonuses from consuming foods can include increased healing, damage, speed, etc. Some mutations improve the abilities you've gained. Earn Fission Points and Evolution Points by completing levels. Use the points to unlock new abilities, mutations, and perks. Customize your lifeforms' colors and morphology. Unlock morphologies with different bonuses. Unlock maps for sandbox mode by completing levels. Feed lifeforms by dropping food into the environment. Duplicate lifeforms by fission, or destroy them at will. Add abilities and mutations.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

Lifeforms: Binary Fission's USD price history spans from Sep 25, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Lifeforms: Binary Fission's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Sep 25, 2026 through Sep 25, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Lifeforms: Binary Fission at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
