MUTATE: Apex Dish

You're a single cell in a hostile, glowing dish. Eat matter to grow and charge your mutate meter, then choose how you evolve — a bigger maw to crack open larger prey, spikes and crushing jaws, thrusters, armor, or auto-firing weapons like the spore cannon and piercing barb launcher. No two runs build the same monster.

Bigger matter stays locked until your maw can crack it, so there's always a next tier to chase. Hunt rival cells for the shards they drop — kill one head-to-head and it coughs up a golden Apex Shard that evolves you instantly. Rivals evolve too, so the longer you survive, the deadlier the dish gets.

How far up the food chain can you climb before something bigger eats you?
