Eat Your Young features:
- The Gribb! Step into the shaggy paws of the feared, dim-witted beast and devour all in your path.
- A dynamic world for the Gribb to hunt in.
- Eat your own offspring. Go on, they’re delicious. Like little Gribbletts.
- The Triangle. The Gribb has three basic attributes: melee, projectile, and movement, all represented by the three points of the triangle. Pushing skill towards any one point takes it away from the other points. Customize the Gribb, but do so carefully.
- Flexible combat system. Engage in either melee or projectile battles, all while teleporting in circles around hapless foes. Combat is heavily influenced by physiology, allowing for different playing styles.
- Unique healing and progression system: both are affected by eating your cubs. Male cubs make the Gribb more powerful while female cubs heal him. Both are great snacks.
- Dynamic physiology. The Gribb’s genetic make up is extremely sensitive to the native fauna of ML 181, and what you eat will change your attributes. Be careful! Food that raises one attribute does so at the expense of the others, but mediocre attributes are useless.
- Attribute based exploration. The Gribb will be able to access certain areas of the map depending on how skilled he is in certain attributes. Even with lesser skills, the main map will play differently.
- Food harvesting. Provide for your ravenous family so there are more to eat later.
- A mating system. Eating too many cubs? Simply shack up with the missus and peed some more!
- Defenseless creatures to slaughter.
- Not-so-defenseless creatures who will try to slaughter you.
- A variety of changing goals. Produce a certain amount of young in one level, devour them the next. Rip apart hunters or round up your wandering offspring.
