Niche Shift

Description

Niche Shift is a strategy puzzle game focused on building a thriving ocean ecosystem. The core gameplay involves merging creatures to evolve them up the food chain, starting from Plankton to Krill, then to Fish, and eventually to the legendary Leviathan. Unlike standard merging games, high-level predators become living creatures with needs; each move increases their hunger. Players must merge these predators to feed them, or they will starve and turn into Bones, which clutter the board as obstacles. The main objective is to balance growth and hunger while navigating the dangers of the ocean. This HTML5 browser game offers a deceptively simple yet challenging twist on the merging genre, where careful feeding and evolution are key to success. The ocean is a dangerous place, and maintaining a balanced ecosystem requires strategic planning to avoid obstacles and thrive.
