This was a lovely game! It's a bit hard to figure out how exactly some of the stats affect your critters' survival so I tried to have a balance. It was really cool seeing how the map changed, meteors fell, volcanoes formed, villages were created, tsunamis emerged, and so on. At one point a every other critter type was wiped out by natural disasters and mine were the only ones left and unfortunately they were carnivores... Luckily enough, I was able to evolve right at the right time to become herbivores so I managed to survive till the end!

Great game, well done! :)

Cool game :) it felt like there is a lot to the simulation. They are even creating villages ! I did make it through the 50000 years

I liked the concept. You guys executed this nicely and made it enjoyable. It was a good, fun and chill simulation. Well done!

Interesting simulation. I'm not sure if I understood the game properly, but still managed to win. Basically I was picking the mutation matching the color of the species I had the least of at the moment. Towards the end I noticed that the last few choices had me choosing between the same two things: heart / heart and exchange / exchange.

Loved the minimalistic take to the sim genre,

some heads up at the start might be necessary for the least-experienced players (personally, I also died a few times before understanding everything)

Great game !

A game about evolution! Fascinating, but impossible to understand. Please add a tutorial or explations.
