Who it's for

This game is for players looking for a simple, casual runner game with basic evolution mechanics and who don't mind frequent advertisements R1R5R6R11. It is not for players seeking deep gameplay, significant challenge, diverse character options, or a game that accurately reflects its promotional material R16R29R34R65.

  15. [R16] 1/5 · US No substance: Doesnt even pass as a game in alpha development mode. No music, bare bones SFX, rudimentary elements, same run paths, plenty of AD opportunities to add stats or cosmetics which really don’t do anything worthwhile. On to the next merge runner to find a good one
  16. [R29] 2/5 · US meh: not very interesting or captivating. its the same thing over and over again and really isnt worth playing

  21. [R65] 1/5 · US What it this?!?: This is not what I saw on one of your adds on Tiktok. I’m pretty upset. Before you download, if you think that you are a skeleton, you run to get DNA, and build a body, it is not like that. I am angry 🤬
  22. [R86] 4/5 · CA The ads are wrong: In the ads it says you can choose your own elements to use but in reality you cannot
  23. [R37] 1/5 · US Bad game: This game is horrible its so laggy all my elements turn into black balls then when it loads it doesn’t give me my powers in the game don’t install it am going to delete the game it so bad and horeble 1 star

  26. [R58] 5/5 · US Pls fix: I love the game but my stats are messed up
  27. [R12] 4/5 · US Add new elements: It’s boring without new elements please add some more soon.
  28. [R17] 5/5 · US It’s been a while: So the game is good but it’s been a while since the last update. And I hope there will be more hats,more characters, and more elements. Some that I suggest would be something like blood and concrete or even clouds. Anyways I would like an update. Peace out.
  29. [R19] 4/5 · US Would be 5 star but…: I would of have this game a 5 star but it’s been like a month or 2 and still no more new elements but other than that this game is great😃
  30. [R47] 3/5 · US Just needs more elements: Or not but I'd like it better
  31. [R50] 4/5 · US Cool game needs more animation: I wish with the elements that you have and the boss level you get to use your Flame Abilities or ICE, stone etc but you just do the same moves, that doesn’t even correlate when you have powers
  32. [R77] 1/5 · GB This game has 0 challenge: This game is so boring you don’t even need to collect elements they do nothing
  33. [R91] 3/5 · AU DNA evolution 3D: DNA evolution 3D is good, but I do not like how you can only have a male character, which makes me angry 😡 ( I am a girl). And perhaps something other than doing the evolution run, like a shop where you can mix and match dna 🧬 to make stuff. Overall a good game.
