About Ardarium

Ardarium is a 2D simulation that automatically generates a random map and populates it with plants, animals, and humans. The point is to be something pretty and colorful that you can watch like a screensaver or play like a simple sandbox game.

Animals look for food, avoid danger, and reproduce. Humans do those things and also build nations, go to war with each other, and cultivate the land.

The world constantly changes. Land deforms because of erosion, tectonic uplift, volcanos and meteors. Elevation changes cause coastlines to shift and alter weather patterns. A forest might turn into a desert because it no longer gets rain. A submerged hill can become an island if the land rises above the water. A human settlement might thrive due to an abundance of food and then decline because of disease. Animals evolve to be bigger or smaller, faster or slower, based on which ones survive to reproduce.

Anything the player can do, like spawning animals or starting meteor showers, is something the simulation also does automatically. You can leave it running as long as you want and the world will continue as normal.

GOOD

Recommended Aug 17, 2024

Absolutely incredible value for the price. Have spent literal hours just sitting and watching the world unfold, with beautifully simulated weather, water flow, erosion, temperature, wind, etc. - I'm hoping either for further development on this game/simulation (perhaps unlikely) or for the developer to eventually be able to create another fantastic worldsim-type game like this. If you enjoy sandbox, god-game, or life/evolution simulator games this will be right up your alley. The UI and the optimization leave a little to be desired (I have a decently powerful PC but running anything larger than a 20x20 grid tends to slow it down to <20 fps) but if you have literally a buck, a curious mind, and even a passing interest in watching a beautiful pixel world and its systems and cycles - including watching animals have population booms and busts, observing natural selection processes, seeing various human factions fight over the most fertile lands, and noting how clouds rise from the forests after dusk to flow towards the still-warm oceans - then Ardarium is 110% worth your time. 9/10 for me, 10/10 given the amazing enjoyment:dollar ratio

Not recommended Jun 8, 2024

Not that good, not that fun, and not that worth it. 3/10 Literally just a screensaver.
