You’re not quite finished with evolution just yet, work through your neanderthal attitudes, take out your caveman aggression as a hunter, and finally finish the game by settling down to a little farming as the paragon of animals and the undisputed chamption of the food chain. • Eleven stages of evolution with a total of 81 levels in the game, each with a new twist on the satisfying core gameplay. • Complete levels with high scores to unlock exotic evolutionary missteps including mermaids, unicorns, and dragons for even more foraging fun. • Simple but stylish graphics with beautiful creature designs and stunningly varied landscapes that bring to life the different ages of the history of the planet right there on your screen. ► PLUMB THE MYSTERY OF PRE-HISTORY Want to see the origin of species in action?

Verdict

The call

Insect Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
