About Menagerie
Menagerie is a free online Simulation game that runs right in your browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create: press Play and you are in. It works on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.
Sculpt a world and watch animals evolve to cross it. Nobody designs them: eighty are thrown together at random — a back, some legs, a rhythm — and whichever get furthest have the children. The population breeds as separate species, one per body plan, so a two-limbed hopper and an eight-limbed crawler can develop side by side instead of the first winner swallowing the run. Every world sets a distance to beat: raise hills, dig flooded trenches, pull down a roof they must crawl under, or ice the floor, and each one breeds a different animal. Keep the ones you like on the shelf and release them somewhere they were never bred for.
How to play
Press the Play button to load the game. Most games are played with the mouse or by tapping the screen; keyboard games use the arrow keys, WASD or the space bar. Read the in-game instructions for the exact controls, and use the fullscreen button for the best experience.
