What is LifeCycle?

Hi, there. I'm Tatsuya Koyama, Japanese indie game developer. Thank you for your download! My work LifeCycle is a unique game, I think. It is like an Interactive Art. There are no enemies, tasks, and manners. I hope you enjoy it as you like!

How to Play

You can play this game with a mouse. Run the LifeCycle.exe and point the menu to start. [1] key to reset, and [ESC] key to shutdown. I want you to remember 2 controls for your gameplay.

1. Hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse. You can generate a drop of water.

2. Scrub the object with right mouse button down. It will changes to another object.

When the time at the bottom-left corner falls to 0, the game is over.
