There are a few games this could be compared to, such as Sandbox of God and Flow, but such comparisons would be unfair, not to mention inaccurate.
Evolites is a "game" where you are in control of, well, Evolites. These circular critters roam around underwater and are affected by the things you allow them to come into contact with. For example, mutating them. The most obvious effect of this is to grow a certain species as it splits apart and starts to take over the screen.
The game doesn't work in the normal time frame of a regular game, but on a lengthy drawn out time scale. Ramp up the mutation causing sunbeams, leave it going while you mow the lawn or shower and come back to see what's happened.
There is more to the game than just mutation, but the nuances can only be experienced to be understood properly. Perhaps the most impressive part is the online database of mutated critters available for download. Some are jumbo sized and friendly, others have predator ratings of 40 and 50+. These can be downloaded and added to your tank with ease, and you can add to the catalog with equal ease.
Its a uniquely intriguing game which does not offer cheap or easy thrills. It is quite clearly a more meditative game which will encourage your time and occasional participation in the events.

I wasn't impressed. All "Evolites" are small circles. All that changes through evolution is their name, color, size, speed and stomach capacity.
It's obvious that the more food you let in the water, the more Evolites will survive, and those will be the most agile and hunger-resistant species.
This simulator is OK at simulating what it's supposed to simulate. Don't expect to see the balls evolve into fish or anything.
The background music is cool and it fits in the whole story.
Don't bother trying this if you're looking for a "game". If you like biology and raising bacteria but can't afford a lab, give it a try.
