Learned about this hidden gem today thanks to the Mollusk Tier List.

10/10

I feel compelled to post this because of The Mollusk Tier List. Before trying "Cell to Singularity: Evolution Never Ends," I noticed the game had "very positive" reviews, but now I know that those reviews are not reliable of the true merit of this game. This game is the most predatory game I have ever seen in my lifetime. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME EVER.

Cell to Singularity: Evolution never ends is an idle clicker game, with each mouse click earning entropy (the earnable in-game currency) and you can unlock things (eukaryotic cell, prokaryotic cell, ...) that passively earn entropy/second. With the combination of the passively earned entropy/second and the player's mouse clicks, you progress through the evolutionary tree buying things that make your mouse clicks earn more entropy per mouse click, and things that increase your passively earned entropy/second.

In gameplay, you can earn "Darwinian cubes" (purple cubes that are the in-real-life currency (take out your credit card for the Darwinian cubes). Spending Darwinian cubes, there are too many ways one can easily increase one's entropy accumulation.

During gameplay, golden particles pass by your screen, you click on these to get a large amount of entropy. But some of the golden particles, when you click on them, it says "Spend (1 or) 2 Darwinian cubes to get __<large quantity>__ entropy? And you can click on [Spend (1 or) 2 Darwinian cubes to get __<large quantity>__ entropy] [Skip]". This is the part where the developers of the game are hooking players in.

Another example is when you've been away from the game for a long time, and when you return to the game, it says, "You've earned __<large quantity>__ entropy. Double it by spending 2 Darwinian cubes? And you can click on [Double it (spend 2 Darwinian cubes)] [Collect {doesn't have the doubling effect, spend zero Darwinian cubes}]. Another location where the developers are hooking players in.

Then, the store has this "Skip all ads (infinity symbol) pass for $12.99": all 2 or less Darwinian cube purchases are ad-free for 30 days! That's so the golden particles and the doubling of entropy don't keep giving you the ad for spending your purple Darwinian cubes.

USUALLY when I see "a game is filled with ads", it's for third party advertisers that bombard players with ads in game. But in THIS GAME, the ads are for the game itself! (it's the constant ads telliing you to spend your Darwinian purple cubes, there are no third party ads in this game).

Don't even get me started on "Cell to Singularity: Evolution Never Ends" in-game store of other ways to get more entropy by spending your Darwinian cubes.

And then there are mutiple paths to play this game (regular evolution tree, dinosaur evolution tree, outer space evolution tree). And the current time limited tree (Deep Sea evolution tree which ends in 2 days, to be followed by the Cat evolution tree, which starts pretty much when the Deep Sea tree ends).

This game is educational, but the most predatory game I've ever seen. AVOID THIS GAME LIKE THE PLAGUE!

REMOVE. THE. CUTSCENES. they only serve to waste my time, and it's getting real damn annoying. getting interrupted every time i unlock literally anything for not just the first time, but also the second time is not good game design, it's not fun, it's not intuitive, it doesn't help, and it makes me want a refund.
