What's New in 2.1 COLONY VOICE LEARNS TO IMPROVISE The soundtrack now emerges from what's actually on screen. Each world seeds its own key and musical theme from the live colony, and when your colony surges, the drums and bass punch through. ALSO • Performance and polish improvements throughout. What's New in 2.0.1 Stopped purchasing screen from appearing after purchase What's New in 2.0.0 SEE IT COME ALIVE — LIVE VISION Point your camera at anything, or hand the colony a photo, and watch it grow into the image, cell by cell. Your face, your room, a houseplant — rendered in living slime. HEAR YOUR COLONY — COLONY VOICE The simulation now sings. Colony Voice turns the colony's own rhythms into a synthesizer, so every world has a generative voice that's never quite the same twice. A NEW SPECIMEN EVERY DAY Creature of the Day drops a fresh specimen to hatch each morning. Grew one you love? Share it — send anyone a creature by link and it hatches on their device, exactly as you made it. YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE Saved creatures now sync over iCloud — hatch on your phone, pick it up on your iPad. (Premium) ALSO • One unified control panel — every knob in one place. • Sound reactivity now auto-levels to any room, so the colony moves to a whisper or a full speaker. • Smoother rendering with less hitching, even with large colonies.

A new way in, and a new world to lose yourself in. • Enclosures — browse every simulation as a living preview. Each one runs in miniature, so you see exactly what you're stepping into before you open it. • Hail Mary — a new enclosure where glowing blooms drift and divide, hunted by a restless predator. Watch a whole food web find its balance. • Adversarium — the predator–prey arena, retuned: faster, hungrier, and now living up to its name. • A new color studio — pour and mix your own palettes with the liquid picker, and your creatures keep their colors across devices. • A warmer welcome and a cleaner, calmer path through the app. Plus the usual quiet work underneath: smoother frames, fewer hitches.

- NEW Taumeba\Dots Experiment available in the Model Selector - in app purchase robustness improvements

What's New in Cell Zoo 1.3 - UI updates - Video Capture — Record up to 30 seconds of your simulation as real-time H.265 video. Zero-copy Metal→encoder pipeline for smooth capture without frame drops. - SmoothLife Multi-Species — Run 1-3 competing species in SmoothLife with cross-species repulsion and territorial dynamics. - Anti-Flicker Protection — Intelligent temporal smoothing prevents rapid strobing during evolution. Seizure-inducing patterns are automatically detected and rejected. - Cross-Species Interactions — All multi-species simulations (Physarum, Gray-Scott, Lenia, SmoothLife) now feature species repulsion and territorial boundaries. - Evolution Improvements — Extinct populations automatically re-seed. Flickering candidates are hard-vetoed. Smoother parameter blending between generations. - Performance — Half-precision GPU compute, optimized memory access patterns, reduced encoder overhead. Faster and more power-efficient. - Bug Fixes — Fixed video export, creature library screenshots, Gray-Scott multi-species spawning, AR 3D texture crash.
