Build and run your own space program — like SpaceX, but yours. Launch rockets, manage astronauts, mine planets, and colonize the solar system from the Moon to beyond the Kuiper Belt.

In Tiny Space Program you manage the early colonization of our solar system — based on real orbital mechanics and ship propulsion.

Don’t Play God is a high‑fidelity evolution sandbox powered by real neuroevolution (NEAT). Run your own genetic lab: paint food and hazards, shape terrain and climate, freeze or unfreeze evolution, and fast‑forward centuries in seconds. Every creature’s brain is fully inspectable—every neuron, synapse weight, and bias—and every lineage you save lives in your Gene Bank. Deploy your best species across the world’s regions, adapt to new conditions, and keep pushing your line forward. Then take them online to see how your evolution stacks up against other players. No scripts, no endings—natural selection decides. You set the rules; evolution writes the story.
