Start as a drop of primordial soup and evolve all the way to a human — or take a completely different path! Evolution is a relaxing idle game about the evolution of life. Tap to earn XP and DNA, and collect random Mutations at every milestone. When you have enough DNA, choose where to evolve next: • Strength — more XP from every tap • Adaptation — a better chance of finding DNA • Instinct — your creature taps by itself WHAT AWAITS YOU • 45 species: from a single cell, through jellyfish, fish and dinosaurs, to eagles, dolphins and humans • Species Museum — a scrollable tree of life with a fun fact about every animal • Habitats: ocean, shore, land and sky — the world changes as your creature evolves • New generations — start over stronger thanks to Genes and discover other branches • Incubator — your creature keeps growing while you’re away • Daily goals, streak rewards and golden cells full of surprises PLAY WITHOUT PRESSURE No ads during play. Play a few minutes a day and your progress waits for you — even on a new phone, thanks to iCloud backup.
LineStrike
Read full descriptionHide full description
LineStrike is an idle game where drones automatically take apart glowing wireframe buildings. - Satisfying to watch: every laser hit snaps lines off the building and scatters them into light. Destroy a power node and the blast chains through the structure. - From a hut to landmarks: start with a small shed and work up to office towers, spaceships, space stations, buildings inspired by world-famous architecture, and iconic vehicles and machines. - Upgrades and weapons: spend money on damage, fire rate and more drones. Use parts from each building's core to unlock a piercing drill, an area-blast mortar, a chain beam and a spinning saw. - Prestige and the Fortress: when progress slows, prestige for permanent upgrades, and take on a giant fortress you chip away at over days. Prestige more to unlock homing missiles and a black hole that swallows whole buildings. - Earn while away: your drones keep working while the app is closed. - LineStrike PLUS (one-time purchase): claim boosts without ads, no ads between stages, income ×1.5 forever, and +2 hours of offline earnings. Not a subscription; it never renews. Besides optional ads you watch for boosts, an ad may appear between stages (at most once every few minutes; never with PLUS).

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Evolution Idle at none against LineStrike's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
