Spotlight: CellShades – A Unique and Dynamic Life Simulator for iOS

If you’re a science buff, or just enjoy unique visual effects, CellShades might be just the app for you – a life simulator that lets you visualize the growth of mold, bacteria, or fungi, or just play around with unique visual elements.

The developer offers the following description:

Tap the screen to spill a little liquid, then watch the greedy little cells emerge, consume, swarm out and build clusters with mesmerizing dynamics! CellShades simulates a huge variety of behaviors, from crashing waves to flowering structures to microorganisms crawling across the screen.

The app lets you choose between nine different preset behaviors, and also offers a Laboratory upgrade to let you modify each simulation’s behavior to create your own unique visual experience. It’s a fantastic visual experience you won’t want to miss!
