Description
The Earth has seen dramatic events, lava oceans, a great collision that formed its moon, the filling of its oceans by impact bolides, the rising of continents with plate tectonics. Among these noisy events, life got started, perhaps many times and in many forms. You start as an ingredient in the primordial soup, and try to create life. The game ends in the Cambrian Explosion, with the advent of multicellular life and the invasion of the land.
