  1. [R2] Cell to Singularity 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
  2. [R8] Cell to Singularity 5/5 · US Fun to see life grow on earth: So fun to learn how life evolved over time .
  3. [R35] Cell to Singularity 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!
  4. [R44] Cell to Singularity 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
  5. [R5] Cell to Singularity 5/5 · US Fun idle game: Didn’t expect much but was pleasantly surprised by the lack of forced adds and satisfying gameplay loop.
  6. [R14] Cell to Singularity 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!
  7. [R13] Cell to Singularity 1/5 · US Repeating Loop: Don’t bother. You’ll have to do the same thing over and over again, each time waiting longer to achieve just a little bit more. It’s brain addiction designed with AI. Unless you literally want to kill you brain “cells”. Most importantly, you’ll never get out of the ad play loop if you go for it.
  8. [R3] Cell to Singularity 3/5 · US Still need some work: After some years and come back. I am amazed that this one still have updated. However, whenever I reset the world, the game crash. There are too many things on the screen compared to how it used to, and there are no way to hide it. The definition of the idle item/ things did not disappear after you accidentally tap on.
  9. [R4] Cell to Singularity 2/5 · US Broken: Was fun. Now it just crashes every time I try to watch a reward video.
  10. [R7] Cell to Singularity 1/5 · US Crash city: Doesn’t load most of the time. Just crashes
  11. [R11] Cell to Singularity 4/5 · US Crashh: Fun but crashes every 5 min on i phone’s SE second Gen
  12. [R29] Cell to Singularity 5/5 · US Fairly Satisfying game.: A nice game to spend time on, upgrading paths is quite easy and unlocking new life forms is a breeze. Overall if you want to spend time on a fun game this is it.
  13. [R41] Cell to Singularity 5/5 · US PEACEFUL & ENTERTAINMENT: Im a 90’s baby, this reminds me of those games that are meant to enjoy and pass time! LOVE IT
  14. [R34] Cell to Singularity 1/5 · US Not playable any more: Updated: the dev responded to this review with “email us and….” I emailed them 3 days before the below original review was posted. TWiCE! THeY HAVE NOT responded since, over 2weeks(as of 5/31/2026). NOPE They DO NOT CARE!!!! It WAS a good game. Until most recent update (as of 5/15/2026). The game stops every 1 to 2 seconds for 3 to 5 seconds at a time. It isn’t responsive to
  15. [R46] Cell to Singularity 1/5 · US Latest Version Won’t Load: Latest update crashes on start! Messages on the publisher’s Discord have gone unanswered. Would be happy to update my review if the devs would address this issue and let the community know what is happening.
  16. [R91] Cell Survivor 2/5 · US No app support and ad loops you have to close the app to escape: Funny how the previous review I did disappeared. The game is really fun. It’s my favorite. I play everyday. The ads are way too long as others have stated. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game. If you don’t watch the ads to get the enhanced boosts it’s harder to pass the levels. There should be an ad free option to
  17. [R108] Cell Survivor 3/5 · US Haven’t got to play an event in weeks: It is a slap in the face that you guys are having events that many of us are not included in. I understand updates have issues and you are fixing them but why are you continuing with events that most of your players can not even access. I love y’all’s game but am this is a disappointment. I suggest y’all keep up with your Reddit page to see how it is affectin
  18. [R38] Cell to Singularity 4/5 · US Great, but some recommendations!: I really love this game and how it turns an idle clicker game into something educational, interesting, and fun. However, the need to constantly watch ads to progress is very annoying; it would be nice if there was an option to purchase a permanent add free version (not just the temporary infinity pass). Also, I think the mesozoic era is ruined by prestige. It feel
  19. [R67] Cell Survivor 1/5 · US Wrong Intent: I love the idea of the game. The weapons, different modes, different maps. But this is so very clearly set up to force the user to watch ads, NO MATTER WHAT. I get money needs to be made but when you structure the difficulty of progression totally dependent on if you’re willing to watch 1-2-3 ads per try, horrible. Just absolutely awful how you can essentially ruin the total flow of
  20. [R71] Cell Survivor 4/5 · US Review: Honestly really really fun game. Good to past time. Gives an insane amount of dopamine and challenges you. I love a good challenge but I do hate the impossible. The scaling in the game not gonna lie is quite atrocious now I love this game but I genuinely can’t beat a level without an ad, idk if it’s a skill issue I’m pretty sure I got all my stuff maxed out but either way. Great game, scal
  21. [R88] Cell Survivor 1/5 · US Ad simulator: The game forces you to watch 4+ ads per level if you want to progress, not to mention the levels themselves are rigged asf and this game has the slowest progression of all time unless you pay a ton.
  22. [R103] Cell Survivor 1/5 · US Cash Grab: Pushes ads and micro-transactions in your face, game's difficulty curve is also absurd. Don't play this game, you'll spend more times watching ads than actually playing the game.
  23. [R16] Cell to Singularity 1/5 · US can’t even play: it crashes on startup, tried on both my phone and ipad and it didn’t work on either. from the looks of it, this is a problem a lot of people are having, and even though the devs say newer updates will help, the new updates aren’t actually fixing the issue.
  24. [R22] Cell to Singularity 1/5 · US Crashes immediately: Looks interesting but can’t try it. On an iPhone 16 Pro on iOS 26.5 it’s starts to load and then just crashes. Can’t even get into the game, unfortunately.
