- Neuroscience-curious players and fly-brain enthusiasts
- Worth noticing
- The page cites FlyWire and a whole-brain model, and says points come from fights while purchases are limited to cosmetic items.
Field notes
Players are invited to change sugar, rage-cell activity, and shadow cues, then upgrade a fly’s brain, chemistry, and body between bouts. The homepage says each fighter runs a live browser simulation of the 139,255-neuron FlyWire connectome and 2.7 million connections, with memory learning through a mushroom-body rule. A knockout ends that fly’s run and starts a new generation; points come from fights, while the listed $0.99 purchase is a random cosmetic for a voxel fly.
