Hi, thanks for playing! A few tips to get the most out of From Nothing:
- Start with World 1. Click to place a Spark, then a Vent next to it so the first cells have food.
- You never control the cells. You change the world (food, hunters, cold, coral) and natural selection decides which traits survive.
- Use Feed (3 per generation) to drop food next to the cells you want to multiply. That's artificial selection in your hands.
- Hover a cell to see its genes. The game runs at 2x by default; press F to change the speed.
- Turn the sound on: the music grows with your population.
Finish all five worlds to unlock Free Evolution, a sandbox with every tool. I'd love to hear which world you liked most!
