According to the patent, gameplay would involve players controlling [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]-like characters with a "pointing device", with the objective being to guide these units to other objects so that they can interact in certain ways.{{cite web|http://www.gamespot.com/articles/patented-game-mechanics-that-might-surprise-you/1100-6369027/|Patented Game Mechanics That Might Surprise You|GameSpot}} These objects include "flowers", "food", and the "dead body of opponent". The creatures were to bring these to a "base", similar to bringing [[pellet]]s and [[enemy]] corpses to [[Onion]]s in the ''Pikmin'' series.

If these creatures interact with one of their own outside the array, it will join the group, similar to [[whistling]]. | According to the patent, gameplay would involve players controlling [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]-like characters with a "pointing device", with the objective being to guide these units to other objects so that they can interact in certain ways.{{cite web|http://www.gamespot.com/articles/patented-game-mechanics-that-might-surprise-you/1100-6369027/|Patented Game Mechanics That Might Surprise You|GameSpot}} These objects include "flowers", "food", and the "dead body of opponent".
