I had fun playing with this. Suggestions: It needs a graphic explaining which creatures eat which on the start screen. It would be super cool if you could see a graph of species population over time. It would also be fun if you could design/modify creatures to have different attributes (speed, schooling, birth rate, mutation) ### 5/5 — Very fun and broke expectations *2025-03-18* I thought it would be boring but its kinda of cool to watch the guys fight and go extinct, like in an ecosystem ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-02-17, version 1.2.4* It’s a very good game and I like the addition of a speed changer. It’s very interesting to see what the ai does. ### 5/5 — New behaviours *2025-01-22, version 1.2.4* If you add different behaviours like prey ganging up on predator would be nice.😁 ### 5/5 — Great Idea *2024-10-13* It works as I would expect and is a fun and great idea. ### 4/5 — Honestly, pretty good *2024-08-07* I really like the concept of this game, and there are no ads! Although, I wish there were more customizable stuff like environments or mutations! I really think this game has huge potential. :D ### 4/5 — Different *2024-06-27* It’s a good game. Interesting but good. ### 5/5 — FUN!!!!! *2023-06-29* This looks so cool I love it so much! -HyperJosh ### 5/5 — Can you put more things like boot pen pencil and gun *2022-10-21* Gavin ## Frequently asked questions about Evolution Arena ### What is Evolution Arena?
