Insect Evolution is a hyper casual game where the purpose is to get as bigger and stronger as you can to take out insects and beat the level! You as a small insect will start on a running track with evolution theme in mind. Getting bigger and stronger is the key in any evolution game and Insect Evolution could be the best evolution game you would have played till now. In every level, you will eat smaller and same level insects and avoid big spiders to reach the level end. After every level you will have the option to upgrade your insect or increase the speed of your spider so that you can easily win the level. At every level end, there will be a boss insect which you would have to take down but be very sure that your insect should be evolved enough to beat the boss. Upgrading your insect at the start of every level will make you stronger enough to easily reach the level end and take down the boss insect.
