What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The main goal of Early Access is to involve the community in the development process and get their feedback and suggestions for the game. Early Access provides us a clear way to collaborate with our players to ensure that we can create the best experience possible!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access phase is expected to last around 12 months depending on player feedback and the amount of content that will be added.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We claim that the game is 'community-based' and we believe that there will be some creative people who may give us helpful suggestions to improve the game. We will definitely add new content to the game (such as new maps in dimensions or new cell editor parts), but first we need community and feedback. So if you are a game translator, designer, audio composer, tester or passionate Spore fan, do not hesitate and let us know on our official Discord channel. It's up to you, in which direction you would like to improve the game!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“There are 3 game modes: Journey (Campaign), Dimensions & Cell Editor.
Journey is basically a 'campaign' mode where you experience the full cell evolution in 3 generations. It takes around one and half hour to complete.
Dimensions is a competitive game mode in which you fight against other species. You can choose 3 different arena modes (Deathmatch, Duels & Protein Wars) and 3 different dimensions (the world where you will be fighting). The average playtime in Dimensions depends on you, how much you will like it. This game mode allows you to test out your brand new species from the
Cell Editor and you can enjoy realtime fractals.
The Cell Editor allows you to create cells from scratch. Again, depends on you how much you will like it. In the current version, you are also able to upload/download species from the Steam Workshop!
We would say that the current game state is pretty stable and playable, but we would definitely add more content in the future to make it even more entertaining.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We definitely do not plan to change the price of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“As we mentioned above, Cellings is a 'community-based' game. We plan to heavily involve the community in our development of the game, so any feedback, comments, suggestions and criticism is more than welcome. We encourage our Early Access users to join us on Discord, where the whole development team is available and looking forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions. Also we plan to organize various events in which each participant can win interesting digital prizes such as assets for game development or digital keys of our products.”

About This Game

Cellings is a creative sandbox game taking place in an abstract procedural world full of various species. Experience the full evolution of cells across 3 generations, compete with other species, and explore breathtaking worlds.

Our Spore-inspired sandbox game with satisfying mechanics will take you to a stylized world where magic happens! Be a part of a complete cell evolution and experience 3 generations - Neural Adaptation, Relational Adaptation, and Biological Adaptation. Create your own cell with various parts you collect during your journey and compete with other species to progress even further.

Be Creative
Construct your own cell from scratch in the Cell Editor. Each part in the editor contains 4 essential attributes that will lead you through the rest of your journey - Attraction, Speed, Defense & Damage. Create unique species with different colors and share them with the world via Steam Workshop!


Gather Resources
The world is full of interesting stuff. Gather resources to spawn more cell-mates, and buy valuable materials and other goods to progress on your journey. Cells with the role Worker will help you out!


Cooperate or Fight
Explore other species in the world and fulfil their requirements to make new friends. If you are a strong and dominant species, you can fight against other species to capture their homes.
Species like to trade. If they are neutral with you, they may require a valuable material that can be bought for gathered material or randomly found in various locations. Being an ally has many advantages!


Compete in Arenas
Participate in various abstract dimensions and compete in 3 arena modes: Death-matches, Duels, and Protein Wars. Fight for a Protein that will help you craft your favorite cell-parts!
