Microbe Stage

The Microbe Stage
The Microbe Stage is one of the main game stages of Thrive. It is the first stage a player goes through when starting a new save file, and takes the form of a top-down, two-dimensional view of microbes moving about and interacting with one another. In this stage, the only editor available to the player will be the Microbe Editor.

The Microbe Stage ends and the player moves into the next stage, Multicellular Stage, when the player's microbe is composed of enough cells to be considered a more complex organism. At this point, the camera shifts from a two-dimensional view of a microbe to a three-dimensional view of the organism and the Organism Editor is unlocked for use.
