Tinker with genetics and watch organisms evolve as they struggle to survive and reproduce in this beautiful simulation of our fleeting world, Samsara.

Each organism can contain up to a dozen configurable genes that let you modify its survivability and behavior. Genes for viral resistance and reproductive, predatory and defensive behavior are available for in-app purchase.

Features:
1. Configure genetic ranges for your world to determine each genes influence on your ecosystem.

2. Track number of births, duration until total extinction and share screenshots! Compete for best scores and achievements with Game Center.

3. A graph of average genetic values across your population reveals how genes are driven to different values as your fleeting world unfolds.

4. Interactive actions: dragging organisms and comparing genomes, viral infection, and mutation.
