That was beautifully described!

I spent so many frustrating minutes playing that game back in the 80s...

I have a game or two in mind, but want to re-familiarize myself with the setting, so new hint coming up in a couple of hours. :)

Best description ever! I'm in awe!

Thanks, I'm glad that you fellas liked it! :)

Also glad to bring back the good memories for you gogtrial34987. ;)

They say opposites attract, but I'm rather glad they don't. It's difficult enough holding position as it is, waiting for my prey to shrink enough so I can pounce on it.

For every action, there's a reaction. In the case of my prey, I deliberately pushed it toward its doom - but I'm afraid to look the other way, lest I see what new monsters I've created there.

I don't think I ever played this game.

I'll try with a wild guess: is it Spore?

Definitely thinking in the right direction - but no, it's not that one. (nor Spore)

Is it on Steam?

Mitos.is?

It is on steam (sadly not on gog), but no, it's not Mitos.is. It's several years older than that, at least.

I remember when I had nearly endless space to maneuver. Sure, my prey had as well, so I had to expend more of myself to catch them, but it definitely was easier to get around than it is now with these tiny corridors between lurking monsters. I long dearly for the time when I'm big enough to have some space around me!

My prey has shrunk enough to change color. I shift my perception of time so I can avoid any mishaps from lingering too long, expel a bit of myself, and almost zenlike drift over to suck it dry.

(Just bringing the game back up.)

You just beat me to it! :)

After drifting languidly through the void, or puzzling my way through mazes of traps and sustenance, I am now experiencing the unsettling sensation of being hunted myself by fierce and relentless intelligences. I can sense their awareness of what goes on around them. Luckily they are single-minded in their pursuit, but it won't be easy to get to a situation where I can can make them the prey. I'll have to be swift and extremely efficient!

I blow some bubbles and change course to intercept another hapless victim in my eternal quest to become the biggest.

(C'mon people, surely this game isn't _that_ obscure?!)
