I love games like this that are about evolution, artificial life, and biology. However, I found this game’s mechanics and gameplay very frustrating to use. It may just be a skill issue, but things such as editing genotypes, settings, and just how to generally play the game. The lack of explanations/walkthroughs makes it difficult to understand what each feature does and how exactly to use it. I think if this game was a little fleshed out, adding some explanations for the user, it would be extremely good. I think a game like ‘Evolution: Learning Creatures’ would be a great baseline for this game in effort for it to be used effectively by the user. I’m going to give this game 4 stars because it was genuinely fun messing around with my created creatures in the sandbox, but I also don’t want to kill the rating of this mostly underground game with a 3. In reality, I would really give it closer to a 3.5. I would love to see some future improvements to this game down the line! **Developer response:** Thank you for your remarks! This is actually more of a simulator than a game, and we agree that it is demanding and complex – especially when approached as a game 🙂 ### 4/5 — Great, but buggy *2024-04-17* This app is super amazing for what it’s worth and works well when it isn’t crashing, the only thing is that it’s buggy, like really buggy. **Developer response:** We have discovered a memory leak that may have contributed to the crashes. Please check out the current version! ### 5/5 — Слишком естественно *2026-08-19* Игра очень Крутая, и там всё круто, но проблема в том, что она слишком реалистичная и процедурная. Когда я создаю существо и смотрю как этот бедолага пытается повернуться с неудобной позы, но не может, я чувствую себя ужасным человеком. А ещё из-за реалистичности процедурной генерации это существо выглядит живим, я не могу позволить его даже тронуть. А ещё при создании с помощью кода существо нельзя сохранить ### 5/5 — Amazing but have some requests (EDIT)THANK YOU. *2026-01-11* Edit: I meant to write this a while ago, but I cannot believe u actually added a mutate only brain! You guys are awesome! And you are right that the desktop version does have a lot. I just honestly preened the mobile interface. The mobile version just seems easier to use and I enjoy it more honestly. If it is okay, if I think of any other suggestions I will be sure to mention them 🙂👍. And respectfully, is there a discord or community that is available? I’d love to join one if there is. This game is amazing I absolutely love it! I’ve played this a lot and love this game so much. However, I do have some requests. Could you maybe add more fitness presets? And maybe add a way for more advanced learning? I don’t want all evolution to be such a really simple process, however, I do want the option to be able to make evolution faster/ better. And maybe add more criteria. Just a suggestion of course. Maybe you could add a whole new type of fitness. Like how you have “water” and “land speed”, maybe you could add “intelligence” or “problem solving”, like have it learn tasks. This is all of course suggestions. Also, whenever I make my own creatures and then evolve it, I always lose my shape that I had. And I like how it changes, because, of course, it’s the evolution part, but I may want a preset option to choose to like keep the shape of the creature and just evolve like the movement. Thank you for listening and I hope u all have a great day ❤️ **Developer response:** Thank you 🙏 for your thoughtful remarks and suggestions! We will consider adding "only brain" evolution as a new feature – meaning blocking crossover and disabling body mutations to preserve body shape. Note that you can already achieve this (and much more) by using the desktop app. The mobile app is intended to be a simplified interface for the full-featured simulator. ### 5/5 — Amazing but have some requests *2025-04-19, version 5.0.6* This game is amazing I absolutely love it!
