Creature-growing survival game Sipho 1.0 is out now

Climb to the top of the food chain in Sipho, a game about building up a creature with zooids. After being in Early Access since late 2018 it's finally done and hit the 1.0 release. It features Native Linux support too. Inspired by real life Zooids, a complicated creature that forms up part of a colony so Sipho takes this idea and blends it into a rogue-lite underwater survival of the fittest.

Starting off small, you gradually grow and build up your creature with various zooids, each of them specialising in a different function. Some eat food, some help you move, some are for offensive moves and more. Naturally, there's plenty of hazards to be found, and there's always a bigger fish…

I've played it on and off over the years and always loved the idea, and it always worked well too.
