Darwin's Nightmare

A game implementing Darwinian evolution, supported by elegant, minimalist visuals.

This game was designed to give you a fair challenge. If you cannot complete the introductory level, please try again. And again. And again.

The game includes several un-lockable environments, and a same-screen two players mode.

It has come to my attention that some players do not understand the game controls. Operating this game, however, is not difficult:

- if you drag your finger forward the avatar will release capsules in the same direction.
- if you drag your finger backwards your avatar will not release capsules.

About darwinian evolution in this game.

Unsurprisingly, it is not the player avatar which evolves. Instead, foes are rated for accuracy, which in turn generates evolutionary pressure towards creating more challenging opponents.
16 genes are used to generate 65536 recombinations. Each gene controls distinct behaviours, as well as the appearance of the created individuals.
