Comments on Evolution for Android

★★★★★ Augustine Xavier · Feb 10, 2026

Awesome game! All I want to be added are stuff like actual survival stuff, like a forever generating map that sometimes has water and food Actual evolution for survival instead of just walking would be more fun as an extra mode or task, maybe add mouths and claws (simple attachments to a bone like wings) Ik it's a bit of a stretch to add a full on survival version where animals hunt, and live but even now for a free game it's awesome! We also need an inbuilt account system to save creations

★★★★★ Trenda Richmond · Aug 16, 2026

Extremely good but it's annoying when the creatures find a bug where they slide and all start doing it, also can you add a mode where you can manually select who is moving the best?

★★★★★ Marcelino · Sep 1, 2024

It's one of the best games but can you make a water level for the game

★★★★★ Jaxon Nyland · Aug 13, 2026

I know the dev is never going to read this, but I would like to tell you I've been playing this game for YEARS, and it's one of the best games that fits my interest in this stuff if you can make it so there is a human preset, so you can spawn a human with the joints and stuff with the brain power of a human cuz you have that stuff now I think and maybe presets for the neural networka

★★☆☆☆ Gabriel Johnson · Sep 26, 2025

The most recent update has made it almost impossible to select and move joints, which is really 90% of the game once you have a decent critter built. Please see this and rebalance the sensitivity between joint and bone selection!

★★☆☆☆ Valentin Ivanov · Aug 17, 2026

I mean I'd say for an evolution game, its decent, but there's this bug that makes it so any creature with legs can just crumple in on itself and start slowly levitating forwards making walking impossible until like the 70th repetition

★★☆☆☆ PENDOMN · Dec 13, 2025

Every single one of my creatures is completely stiff. No matter what I add or remove, no matter how I tweak with the neural network, they always decide to stay as still as possible, defying physics and sliding forward as progress. Even some of the premade creatures are still as statues and slide forward. The only thing that "works" is the 40 gen frog simulation. IDK what I'm doing wrong
