How to play

Drag it to pull out a pseudopod; let go and it oozes back. Tap it to make it crawl.

Notes

It lives in ponds and damp soil and moves by pushing out a bulge called a pseudopod, which means "false foot," and flowing into it. It eats by wrapping its body around bits of food.

Drag any part of it and it stretches toward your finger like a new pseudopod; let go and it oozes back. Tap it and it crawls: a pseudopod pushes out to one side, the grains inside stream into it and the cell oozes over; then it pushes out the other way and oozes back. Even at rest, its pods stretch a little.
