About Evolution - Learning Creatures
The tasks include running, jumping, climbing and flying. Can you design the ultimate creature that is good at all of the tasks?
The latest update allows you to easily share your simulation saves and creature designs with your friends.
Note that this is more of a simulation than a game. There are no real objectives. But there is a lot to learn if you are interested in the basics of machine learning and neural networks. You can even look at the source code if you want.
There is also a Mac & PC version available for download and a browser version for you to try out on the main project website (keiwando.com/evolution).

Amazing app, one small problem currently.
If i could rate half stars, this would get a solid 4.5 stars. This (game? simulator?) is great because you can make a critter and see it fail over and over, then learn how to do things. (P.S if your creature is shimmying on the ground instead of keeping it's feet below itself, select the joints you don't want touching the ground and give them a large negative point bonus!) Now, for the problem I have currently: There's a 'tip' screen which keeps popping up saying "Add joints and connect them with bones." Because of this, even zooming in makes this pop up if a joint is not placed on the grid. 9.5/10

This game is great and I have a suggestion.
My suggestion for this game is adding a life simulation. Players could decide if their creature is predator or prey, and add them to some kind of terrain. Maybe you could also add water creatures as well.
