The plants get eaten by the herbivores, the herbivores get eaten by the carnivores and the bugs are trying to put a stop to it all.

3: Select Dragon eggs.
F: Pick up or Place down.

How to Play:
Create an ecosystem and protect it from the deadly bugs.Use seeds to grow plants and find eggs and hatch them.
The ultimate goal is to destroy the bugs!
Tutorial:

2)Harvest the plants by pressing F to collect seeds when the plants have fruit.
3)Make sure you have a good supply of plants before moving to the next step.
4)Look for a goat egg and collect it with F
5)Place the goat egg with F.
6)Wait for the goat to lay an egg and watch as your goat herd grows. (Warning: make sure they have enough food or they will starve).
7)Look for a dragon egg in the world and proceed the same as with the goats.

Everything in the game was made by us. Except for the unity standard asset tree because we were running out of time and the world just looked too bare without anything.
Edit:
Added a webplayer. Took me a while to figure out. Sorry about that.

I Cannot test the OSX version so I am sorry it didnt work for you. Ive removed it so that nobody else wastes their time on it. Thanks for letting us know.
I suspected that people might struggle to work out what to do which is why I wrote an in-depth tutorial above ;)
As for the OS X version: I see you've comprressed your windows binary with RAR, but RAR does not store permissions and will break the app folder. If you create an OS X app compress it with zip/7zip etc instead.
And a in-game tutorial would be great, because there is too much with nothing.
The bugs are cools by the way o/ Why don't you replace F by the right click ??
Unfortunately, I weren't able to get past the growing plants phase :(
Damn those wasps :D
+1
nice work!
