Dive into the process for the creation of our first #benthosgame card illustration: the Stoplight Parrotfish! Check out our previous post for info on our design philosophy! #reefscience 🪸 🧪

Check out the thought process that went into developing our distinctive art style for #benthosgame, starting with the Stoplight Parrotfish. This mischievous guy would become our unofficial mascot and star on the box art! #reefscience 🪸 🧪

Discover how algae affects coral reef 🪸 ecology 🧪 by playing as team algae in #benthosgame! Dominate the reef by smothering your enemies within a blanket of your prolific, photosynthetic fronds!

New post introducing the Coral faction in Benthos!

Ever wonder what role corals play in tropical reef ecology? Find out by taking up the mantle of Team Coral 🪸! Cover the reef with colonies clad in sturdy calcium carbonate 🧪 and fend off dastardly, quick-growing algae!

What is your favorite #reef creature you’d love to see in #benthosgame?

Excited to begin sharing Benthos, a science outreach game where you take on the role of coral or algae competing for dominance of a Caribbean reef 🪸 using parrotfish, microbes, nutrient pollution & more.

Featuring lots of feedback loops you'll recognize from reef research.
