05Before every run

Same first cell.A different instinct.

Four germlines, four temperaments. Choose one before you begin, awaken its innate ability, and cultivate your lineage between runs.

Motile

Move fast. Stay untouched.

Bastion

Trade speed for resilience.

Predator

Feed fast. Keep hunting.

Neural

Survive through efficiency.

Not every encounter is a fight. Some ask you to protect a host, spare what you could kill, or escape something you cannot defeat.

Before you dive in.

Where will I be able to play?

iOS and Android are planned. Animanova is currently in pre-launch testing; public store links and a release date will follow when confirmed.

How do I control my organism?

Drag anywhere to steer in the portrait arena. Your organism fires on its own, so your attention goes where it matters: where you move, and which living things you dare to approach.

Can I play offline? How is progress saved?

Yes, the game is playable offline. Progress is stored on your device. There is currently no cloud save, so clearing app data or uninstalling can remove your progress.

Which languages can I play in?

English and Ladin de Gherdëina, the language of Val Gardena, where Animanova is made. Every menu, tutorial and in-game text is translated. To our knowledge, Animanova is the first commercial videogame fully localized in Ladin.

Where can I learn more about the mechanics?

The field guide covers evolution, germlines, objectives and every mode. For help with the game, visit player support.
