History

[edit]

Cell to Singularity began development in 2017, inspired by Computer Lunch co-founder Andrew Garrahan’s love of nature documentaries.[2] Wanting to create a game about science and history, Garrahan saw the emergent popularity of the incremental game genre as a good fit for the more relaxed pace of a documentary. Garrahan was also inspired by James Burke’s “Connections” series for the BBC.

The game was initially released in early access on Android in 2018.[3] It was later also released in early access on iOS and Steam.[4] The game was officially released on iOS in August 2019,[5][6] and Android in April 2020.[7] Finally, it left Steam Early Access in November 2021.

Katherine Franklin of BigBossBattle.com called the game "a commendable delve into a fun representation of evolution on (and off) Earth."[8]

Early reviews praised the game’s atmosphere, with one from BlueMoonGames.com declaring, "The visual presentation makes the game feel like an interactive animated educational tutorial through the [historical] periods described..."[9]

Michael Zegar of GamePressure.com compared the game favorably to Spore, Cookie Clicker, and Plague Inc.[10]

The Beyond expansion, released in November 2021, also received positive reviews. Catherine Ng Dellosa of PocketGamer.com called it, "...a refreshing change of pace from the numerous mobile titles out in the market today."[11]

As of 2024, the game has a 4.5 rating on the Google Play Store[12], a 5.0 rating on the iOS App Store,[13] and a very positive review rating on Steam based on over 22,176 reviews.[14]
