Gridworld is an artificial life simulator where abstract creatures evolve in a two-dimensional ecosystem, competing for food and struggling for survival. It offers a user-friendly interface to customize simulations and observe evolution in action over hours instead of thousands of years. The game promotes hands-off experimentation, allowing users to tweak parameters and witness creatures adapting to their created environments.

Vilmonic is a pixel-art artificial life simulator where you protect and breed unique creatures and experiment with natural and artificial selection. Each creature's body and function is determined by its evolving genetic code, with pixels and body shape affecting hydration, nutrient use, movement, and perception. Your goal is to bring life back from the brink of extinction and uncover the secrets of the past.

"Intelligent Design: An Evolutionary Sandbox" is a simulation game that allows players to create and modify a variety of ecosystems and organisms. Design and evolve creatures with unique abilities, behaviors, and appearances using an intuitive design tool. Observe how your creations adapt to environmental challenges and compete or cooperate with other species in a dynamic, ever-changing world. **Approximately 256 characters

"Ecosystem is a single-player strategy game with high-quality graphics and approximately 23 hours of playtime. The game's unique feature is the simulation of evolving virtual creatures, whose bodies, behaviors, and nervous systems are all determined by their synthetic DNA, which can be modified by the player. These creatures evolve on their own to adapt to the physically-simulated ocean environment created by the player."

"Thrive is a single-player open-world game where you guide the evolution of a single-celled organism on an alien planet, starting from the Last Universal Common Ancestor. Survive in the environment, adapt your species through mutations, and compete with other emerging species in a population dynamics-driven simulation. Gameplay involves both individual cell survival and editing your species' traits to ensure its success."

The Sapling is a simulation game where you design your own plants and animals, and put them in a world together. Or you turn on random mutations, and see what evolution does to your ecosystem!

Equilinox is a single-player 4X game that offers stunning visuals and an exceptional soundtrack, but can be very grinding with plenty of bugs. As a low-poly nature simulation game, it allows players to create and manage their own ecosystem in an engaging and highly emotional atmosphere, currently being developed in Java using OpenGL.

"Species: Artificial Life, Real Evolution" is a simulation game where players create and evolve unique species in a dynamic ecosystem. Observing and manipulating various factors such as genetics, environment, and behavior, players can watch as their creatures adapt and survive in a real-time evolutionary process. With countless possibilities and a sandbox-style gameplay, this game offers a fascinating look into the world of evolutionary biology.

Welcome to Minimals Evolution Simulator 3D! Minimals is a simulation sandbox game where you observe tiny organisms known as 'Minimals' grow and evolve. The primary purpose of Minimals is to showcase the process of evolution as well as related concepts such as natural selection, selective breeding, common descent, and descent with modification. The primary focus of the game in this version is to sh…

I spent the last few months developing a simple evolution simulator. I have found that it's quite meditative just watching those small creatures mate, feed, and grow. There's something really relaxing about just watching "nature" take its path. There are 3 classes: - Prey (They feed on plants and are hunted by the predators) - Scavengers (They feed on the corpses of dead creatures) - Predators (T…
