And update arrives with small bugfixes and Quality of Marine Life improvements. Sipho version 0.6.x phase is coming to a long end - from now on we will be delivering small bug fixes and minor improvements suggested by community. This doesn't mean development stops at all, it's the opposite - major features and reworks are being developed in a separate version control branch with higher velocity.
One thing that will be coming with new levels are new Graphics for those environments. Take a look at this snappy in his new habitat:
We plan to have several variations of Obstacles per each environment. In this case rocks are "fresh" and sharp, rounded or old and corroded. Rocks also have several different color variations. Together with those features we are experimenting with "depth" value of Obstacles and Decorations. Depth controls layering of objects and their color saturation. You can see in the animation that some rocks are above corals while other rocks are below Snappy Sipho and are desaturated. We feel that all these layering features will tie environment objects together into believable underwater environment.

- Sipho Linux [211.44 M]
Sipho is a game that combines eerie real life underwater creatures, insects, body parts with building, combat and exploration. Create your own creature by combining various parts, called zooids. Each zooid specializes in some sort of function– some zooids eat food, others are responsible for movement, attacking other creatures or providing structural support. Most zooids have active and passive abilities. All of the zooids combine into a single creature, Sipho, whose main goal is to climb to the top of the food chain, by using cunning weaponry and various skills.
Collect nutritious food, grow your own creature to become the best of them all. Beware though, there are powerful enemies out there to stop you.
