Evolution

Evolution simulates the evolutionary process in real time. Each creature’s DNA defines its structure, traits, perception of the world and reactions to it. Creatures die, survive, reproduce and mutate; small mutations can help survivors adapt to their environment. Early creatures are basic, but can develop elaborate behaviors.

Primordial Soup

Primordial Soup is a free-for-all evolution platform where creatures evolve mostly independently. You can influence them, but they otherwise act on their own. Choose or create a world, and its creatures join a global shared pool. Older, more evolved creatures tend to dominate, though your creature may survive; you can also start a new world and become its dominant creature.

Tidepool

In Tidepool, conditions favor selecting and breeding the creatures you want to survive. You begin with a small group and can help them find food, focus on creatures that move independently, or let them work things out themselves. You compete against creatures evolved in other players’ tide pools, so each game differs. If your creatures take over the environment, they level up and you start again against the next level of enemy creatures.

The laboratory

The laboratory lets you experiment on creatures, crossbreed them, manage, save and share them, and apply targeted mutations. After an outbreak of a pathogen you created, you fight the creatures directly aboard a miniaturized ship in a battle to stop its spread. Save Patient Zero to save the world, unless the creatures reach another human.
