Cell to Singularity

60
Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

Cell to Singularity is a fun and educational idle clicker game that is worth playing for free, but recent updates have introduced significant crashing issues and perceived paywalls, making the paid experience questionable.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $19.99 4.8★ lifetime (22,292) since 2019

Cell to Singularity offers an engaging and educational journey through evolution with generally optional ads, making it a good free-to-play option. However, frequent crashes, progression issues after updates, and concerns about the value of in-app purchases like the 'Infinity Pass' diminish its overall appeal and make paid options less advisable.

Free vs paid

The free version of Cell to Singularity provides a satisfying idle clicker experience with optional ads that are not forced R9R14R52. Players can learn a lot about science and evolution without spending money R11R13R16R35. The paid options, such as the 'Infinity Pass' (priced at $12.99/£12.99 for 30 days), are intended to remove ads and speed up progress, but users report that the 'Infinity Pass' is misnamed as it expires, and even with it, progression becomes very slow at higher levels R4R197R219R281. Some content, like certain items in the DNA tree, is now locked behind purchasable currency, which is difficult to accrue for free R204.

Value complaints

  • The 'Infinity Pass' is misleadingly named as it expires after 30 days, despite its high price of $12.99/£12.99, and does not provide infinite benefits.R4R219R281
  • Progression becomes extremely slow at higher levels, even with paid passes, making it feel like a forced paywall or requiring excessive waiting.R161R197R204R281
  • Some ads are unskippable or cause the game to freeze, preventing players from claiming rewards and forcing app restarts.R10R17R48R71
  • Recent updates have made the game more expensive and difficult to progress without spending money, changing the previous balance.R159R198R204R261

Where it delivers

  • The game is highly educational and informative, teaching players about evolution, science, and various topics in an engaging way.R11R13R16R31
  • Ads are generally optional and not forced, allowing for a pleasant free-to-play experience.R9R14R20R52
  • It's a fun, addicting, and relaxing idle clicker game that helps pass the time.R3R5R13R14
  • The game features great design, graphics, and a satisfying gameplay loop with continuous updates and new content.R6R29R31R36
Worth paying if

You should consider paying if you want to support the developers for their educational and engaging game, and if you are confident that recent crashing and progression issues have been resolved on your specific device R35.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying if you are experiencing frequent crashes, as many users report the game is unplayable after updates R1R2R8R18. Also, if you are concerned about the value of purchases like the 'Infinity Pass' expiring or not significantly improving late-game progression, it's best to avoid paying R4R197R219R281.

Evidence note: Many recent reviews highlight significant technical issues, particularly constant crashing across various Apple devices, which heavily skews recent sentiment negative despite a high lifetime rating. There are also recurring complaints about the value of in-app purchases and progression speed after updates.

  1. [R4] 1/5 · US Scam: Today I bought the infinity pass and it was a scam. The infinity pass needs for me to give me infinite money. That’s fix.
  2. [R219] 1/5 · US Infinity Pass “expired”: Seriously? It was for infinity…. Disappointing. I was happy to support the game and did. But when I buy a skip ad for INFINITY and then it expires when the devs want more money I am allllll done
  3. [R281] 3/5 · GB Absorbing, but expensive: As it was no doubt designed to do, it’s easy to get into this without too much trouble, and it’s quite informative and entertaining. Reach a certain point, though, and making further progress takes forever because accumulating resources takes so long without buying them. The so-called Infinity Pass lasts only 30 days, for £12.99! Pretty scandalous misnaming. Anyway, too r
  4. [R161] 3/5 · US What happened?: I used to love playing this game but I came back after a while and now everything is 1000 times more expensive and there’s no way to progress that isn’t spending money or waiting a month
  5. [R197] 2/5 · US Good for about a month of casual play: It was entertaining and fast enough on upgrades that were enjoyable to keep me playing most nights for maybe an hour for a little over a month, but now even with their ‘infinity’ paid pass I can barely upgrade anything each night because the jumps in prices got so big. I was very close to leaving a great review, actually a cute idea and a lot of fun at fi
  6. [R204] 2/5 · US Fun game ruined by greed: This game used to be one of my favorites. It was a good time killer. Now they’ve locked a good deal of it behind a paywall. There are certain things in the DNA tree you can only unlock with purchasable currency. Which you accrue in small amounts during gameplay, but not enough to afford anything unless you wait an extremely long amount of time. While this was in the game
  7. [R10] 2/5 · US Can’t close ads: Game seems like it would be good and the ads aren’t thrown in your face like other games but when I am given the option to watch one to expedite progress I’m unable to exit out of the ad and have to force close the application and when I return the reward is not granted. Wouldn’t recommend if on iPhone.
  8. [R17] 2/5 · US Broken: Was fun. Now it just crashes every time I try to watch a reward video.
  9. [R48] 1/5 · US Double points: The new ads make this impossible to collect
  10. [R71] 3/5 · US Game ruining glitch: For the recent infection time limited event a common glitch happened to me where you aren’t able to watch a video for any of the video bonuses since I wanted to 2x my earnings for the last 4 hours I wanted to watch video by resetting game and reopening this is how you fix it and are allowed to watch videos again, unfortunately it decided to delete the 4hrs of event earnings to
  11. [R159] 2/5 · US Update ruined the game: This used to be one of my favorite games, before the update I would have rated it 5 stars. The amount of dopamine you got when you unlocked everything very quickly after enough singularity’s was crazy. But now it’s impossible to progress, and the new singularity shop is SUPER CONFUSING I used to be able to buy every thing in the game in like 3 days. But when I quit and came
  12. [R198] 1/5 · US Review: It used to be much better. Prices have increased, and you used to be able to get cubes for experience. It has changed a lot, and for the worse 😭😭😭 · translated
  13. [R261] 3/5 · GB Updates!: Ever since the last update it keeps crashing. Progress is very slow now. I don’t watch adverts any more , they are boring and too long.
  14. [R11] 5/5 · US GREAT GAME: It teaches you a lot of stuff. This game is better than my science teacher!
  15. [R13] 5/5 · US Fantastic Game: I am not a big gaming guy, but I chose this game from an advertisement thinking it was just gonna be a game I’d try for a few minutes and hate. But rather the opposite! The gameplay is a ton of fun if you like clickers, and the best part is the facts everywhere! I’ve learned a lot from the game and actually fact checking with the internet everything seems legit! Great game if you w
  16. [R16] 5/5 · US Fun to see life grow on earth: So fun to learn how life evolved over time .
  17. [R31] 5/5 · US Amazing game!: Has so many parts of evolution, half of it I didn’t even know! The game is quick to progress and easy to play. There’s so many tress, the primary simulation, the events, the mezazoic valley AND the beyond!
  18. [R9] 5/5 · US My review: It’s a great game if you don’t want forced ads while you play it talks about evolution but I like buying stuff. My favorite simulation is the beyond garden. I’m already at the end e30. But what I suggest is to have something where you can add codes to get logits and darwiniums both currencies and to add more things to the beyond garden like more galaxies stars, stars with planets. That’
  19. [R14] 5/5 · US Fun idle game: Didn’t expect much but was pleasantly surprised by the lack of forced adds and satisfying gameplay loop.
  20. [R20] 5/5 · US A beauty: I cant lie when i first started this gameI thought it was just going to be a normal ad ridden mobile game. Turns out… nah I cant even spoil it just download it!
  21. [R52] 5/5 · US I love this game: I’ve played this game for years and it is the only game that I keep coming back to when they update it I’ve played this game since 2019 sadly I lost my old account but the updates to this game are high quality the only adds are optional and if you don’t watch them it doesn’t change the game at all
  22. [R3] 5/5 · US Great game: If you have a lot of free time this is a good game to play
  23. [R5] 4/5 · US Game is very good: It’s a very unique game. It’s kind of like a virus Inc. or whatever the thing is called. It is a very, very good game overall and well it’s just really a good game and I would play this for a very long time.
  24. [R6] 5/5 · US A truly tremendous game: Great design

  26. [R36] 5/5 · US I love this: I love this game, I can’t wait until I have mesezoic valley
  27. [R35] 5/5 · US Amazing game!: This game is so informative and fun to play. You don’t have to spend any money and it’s just as fun as if you did. I’ve paid a few times but mainly just to donate because the developers did an amazing job. I really like the special events. The Bee and Flower one is my favorite so far. It blew my mind how the two have always been dependent on each other and have evolved over time to
