    A fresh beginning?

    This clears your colonies and their history, then starts a new experiment with five mutations and a control.

    A tiny world. A thousand possibilities.

    Press Play to bring it to life. Tap or drag across the grid to change some cells, then play again.

    Curious about the past? Rewind, change a cell, and a new world will grow from that moment. Your original stays safe.

    On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to choose a cell and Enter to change it. Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes a change before you play.
