vim - [ Strategy , Life simulator , sandbox ]

vim is a life simulator/sandbox type game which allows for you to experiment with various objects. It is NOT an evolution game; rather, it encourages user input and experimentation. vim is also unique in that it allows you to take the driver's seat, being able to take control of any given animal

Didn't think much of this at first until i saw the player views and the rating..

9.4

I love this, its funny how when you set Cannabis on fire animals are attracted to it.

TY for the open-sourcedness. 9/10.

Fantastic game and a wonderful experiment! Im making a mod for it right now!

Excellent game. One of the best sims I have ever seen. There are so many wonderfully made things in this, so I'll just say it: Everything was perfect. You made everything work great! The plants, animals,poop, cannabis, and leechs too. You could even see what animals had eaten, really good. And the menu was cool too. The graphics were simple but effective.

Worth a try

Shut up and try it

damn graphics whores

Its pretty cool , add some animals ... some food... and some water and sooner or later they get the food and then drink then poo . Add some meat eaters and they do the same but they can attack your other animals causing them to flee!

Another interested game from Neil79! Going to give this one a try.

Thanks me227

Don't expect a great game though , its just fun and something different of late... I like what can be done with this game even with just a few circles and triangles

. However its a modifiable game so a lot more can be done with it

Its basically a life simulator , sandbox...

First click the + sign at the top left , add some plants... Then add some animals , herbivours(?) eat the plants but they will need water so add water.. You can have meat eaters aswell which will make your other animals run away or get eaten
