TL;DR: You may notice most other reviews praise the concept of this game, rather than the game itself. There's a reason for that. This is a fantastic concept, it's just executed very poorly. My playtime didn't feel like I was in control of growing a cell culture, it felt like watching random things happen for no explainable reason, with little to no control over any of it. I don't actually know if that's because everything really is completely random, or if the lack of any solid explanation of what's happening just makes it feel random. For example: The game tells you to use archaea to clear hydrogen peroxide. My experience was something like: 1. Spawn a protocell near the hydrogen peroxide, but not in it, because protocells die in it; then split the protocell into haploids (which are apparently unaffected by hydrogen peroxide for some reason) 3. Wait for the haploids to be ready to reproduce (which seems to be completely random), and hope they don't randomly swim too far away in the meantime 4. Turn a pair of ready-to-reproduce haploids into a single archaea cell, after buying the RNA from a menu 5. Hope the archaea cell actually goes into the hydrogen peroxide cloud (which the…

As an ex molecular biologist, specialized in evolution genetics, I absolutely adore the idea. Needless to say I didn't have much of a learning curve to get through in terms of theory, but had to learn how to play the game regardless. The tutorials are very simple and the instructions clear. Some quality of life improvments could be made obviously as this is early access, but I had a ton of fun in the 3 hours I've played so far. Had to start over a few times but realised I didn't have to as I can always create new protocells. Unfortunately once I reached level 5 I encountered a glitch that put me at level 178 with a ridiculous amount of money. Still, I will follow this closely and can't wait to see more features implemented.

don't want to play the cell stage let me skip

I love the idea! Can't wait to see the final product!

This game is amazing!! I really hope the developers keep working on this game, the concept is amazing and has already got so much potential! I'm playing this at a time that there is no save game, but I'm happy to play it over and over again! Thanks for making this awesome game!
