mote

Every five minutes,
a new world.

Mote is a procedural micro-ecosystem. Tiny organisms emerge on generated terrain, seek energy from the landscape, and form symbiotic bonds with nearby creatures. Rare catastrophic events — meteors, plagues, auroras — reshape the world mid-cycle. Each five-minute cycle is deterministic and synchronized to UTC: everyone watching sees the same world at the same time. No two cycles are the same.

Hover to attract. Swipe to scatter. Click to energize. Or just watch.
