Cells Arena
Read full descriptionHide full description
One tiny cell. One giant dish. Cells Arena drops you into a glowing petri dish with 149 other cells. Eat what is smaller than you, run from what is bigger, and grow until you are at the top of the board. TAP PLAY, YOU ARE IN No sign-up, no queue, no waiting. One tap and you are in the dish within seconds. EAT. SPLIT. GROW. • Graze on pellets and swallow smaller cells to grow. • Split to lunge at prey that is getting away, then merge back together. • Eject mass to feed a burr until it fires at whoever is in front of it. • The bigger you get, the slower you crawl. Everybody is somebody's lunch. BURRS BITE THE BIG ONES Spiked burrs burst any cell big enough to swallow them. Shelter behind one while you are small, and give them room once you are not. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Amoeba, the ambusher: the longest lunge, quick to pull itself back together, a slow cruise. • Ciliate, the grazer: fast, with a wide mouth, but it bleeds mass. • Plasma, the gunner: cheap, far-flying ejects, and a bad time on a burr. • Jelly, the tank: holds its mass, shrugs off burrs, lunges short. Come back as a different one after every life. A DISH THAT IS ALWAYS FULL Every dish holds 150 cells. Real players share it in real time, and computer-controlled cells take every empty seat, some timid, some hunting, so there is always something to chase and something to run from. MADE FOR THE HAND • One thumb steers. Two buttons do the rest. • Portrait or landscape, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. • A live top 10, your rank always on screen, and a report on every life: best rank, peak mass, and who got you. • Haptics on iPhone for every bite, split and burst. • No ads. No purchases. No account. GOOD TO KNOW Cells Arena is online only and needs an internet connection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cells Arena at none against Virus Evolution's 9. Cells Arena also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
