Take part in a groundbreaking open-source game that brings the evolution of life to your fingertips. Here's why Thrive is the ultimate evolutionary adventure:

Begin at Life’s Origins

  • Start as the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA), a simple organism on an alien planet.
  • Survive and adapt in an ever-changing environment to thrive against natural challenges.

Compete and Evolve

  • Face off against species evolving through population dynamics and random mutations.
  • Use your skill to adapt, outlast competitors, and dominate the ecosystem.

Microbe Stage Exploration

  • Control a single microbe or a colony of microbes in a watery biome.
  • Gather resources, reproduce, and evolve to become more complex lifeforms.

Species Editor

  • Enter the editor after reproduction to enhance your species: Add new organelles.
  • Modify your cell membrane and visuals.
  • Transition to advanced life by evolving a nucleus and forming colonies.
