The Amazing Virtual Sea-Monkeys

Instant Life® Meets Virtual Life as Creature Labs Signs Sea-Monkey® Agreement

Each player has a virtual tank in which the Sea-Monkey® lives. Caring for a Sea-Monkey® creature requires the player to also care for the environmental condition of the tank. Different kinds of plants, for example, provide Sea-Monkey® creatures something to play with. More importantly, however, these plant life forms also introduce life-supporting oxygen into the water so that the creatures can live. A player can have multiple Sea-Monkey® creatures, which places an even greater emphasis on the care and feeding of each, plus the fact that waste generated by these creatures must also be dealt with or risk contamination of the creatures' virtual tank. The more interaction a player has with the Sea-Monkey® creatures and their environment, the more the player is rewarded in the form of bonuses. These bonuses can then be traded for more plants for the tank, virtual machinery for keeping the tank clean, or can encourage the building of relationships with other creatures. Feeding a Sea-Monkey® pet is critical to playing the game successfully. A Sea-Monkey® that is fed too little will not have the energy to swim and play its way into a healthy existence. What is more, a Sea-Monkey® that is fed too little when it is young will not grow to adulthood the way a properly fed creature will. Over-feeding a Sea-Monkey® can cause other problems, such as increasing the amount of waste in the virtual tank, which in turn can produce an unbalanced biochemistry that would threaten all the creatures in the tank.
