the daughter of Sol the Sun. As the story progresses, you will learn that evolution on this planet is being toyed at by an unknown force. This force has begun to alter creatures using crystals to make them stronger and more likely to dominate the emerging web of flora and fauna. As you struggle to survive and evolve you will come to understand that to have a place in by Gaia’s side you must solve the mystery of who is interfering with the evolution of this planets life forms.
The game is a fusion of side-scrolling and RPG gameplay elements. The player defeat enemies by biting, stomping, and eating them to collect EVO points which serve to fuel the character development and evolution.
In this stage, the player assume the body of an aquatic creature and fight in order to earn the right to leave the water.
The player evolves once more, growing legs and becoming a reptile.
In this stage the player will be able to evolve into a dinosaur. There is also a chance to evolve into a bird if the player choose to jump off a cliff from the top of Mount Brave.
Chapter 4: Ice Age (Mammal)
The player is able to unlock a Human body in this era if a cat jaw and a rabbit body already have been evolved. The Ramophitecus body must also be evolved at least 2 to 3 times in order to become Human.
Chapter 5: Early Man (mammal continued, eventually human)
The player is stuck in whatever form he or she chose to evolve into.
The final clue to the mystery of the strange crystals is found in this chapter...
Each age contains an over world map with several stages to be played. Previously finished levels can be revisited in order to gain more EVO points, as well as occasionally backtracking allowing for extra exposition in the story.
Body parts that can be evolved include:
Sales and critical reception
The game was not released to much fanfare, but has generally been recognized as a work of high quality.
Its fusion of side-scrolling and RPG gameplay was too repetitive for some, as players who enjoy the side-scrolling genre may not have been interested in the amount of character development normally associated with an RPG. Those willing to endure the occasional grind, however, appreciate the game's unique subject matter and use of evolution as a gamplay device.
Fight your way from the sea to the skies and everything between, following the chain of evolution as a creature finding its way in a changing world. Defeat other creatures to gain EVO points and evolve new traits to help survive the harsh environment of an evolving world.

Chapter 2: Early Creatures of Land (Amphibian)
Chapter 3: Age of Dinosaurs ( Dinosaur)

Evolution
As previously stated, evolution proceeds in two different ways over the course of the game. At the beginning of each age, the player changes drastically to a new form, becoming rather weak. Over the process of each age, defeated enemies drop " meat" which can be eaten to regain health and gain EVO points. These EVO points can be spent to upgrade various parts of the body, with each part having several options to choose from. Each potential evolution has a required amount of EVO points to purchase, and is gained immediately when points are spent.Body parts that can be evolved include:
- Jaws
- Horns
- Neck
- Body
- Hands and Feet
- Dorsal Fin
- Tail
- Back of the Head
