There is a bug that sometimes when you kill another lifeform and your about to evolve (say you have 8 total ponts) you will skip an evolution and never be able to evolve again, or win :/ so sorry. you evolve every 10 points, if you pass a factor of 10 total point (the gray box) and do not evolve the bug happened and you will need to start over.

To evolve you must drain the power from bits of space dust that are floating around the world. there are four main types and three hybrids.
light Blue - speed
Red - attack
Green - health
violet - Absorption (increases power draining speed)
yellow - Red+Green
Deep Blue - Violet+light Blue
White - All
Objects:
there are several objects in the world.
Voids - small purple lights that glow brighter as they drain power from anything touching them. they sometimes form Black Holes.
Black Hole - a deadly void that pulls in nearmy objects and destroys them.
Energy Stars - white spinning stars that give energy to things that touch them.
Genetic Nebula - a rare golden formation that creates life.
magnetic field - an invisible force that holds particle in place.
Particle Spring - a rare formation that makes Deep Blue and White Particles.
Shooting star (white) - commonly seen flying around they make white particle when they spawn, and more when they leave the screen.
Shooting star (Gold) - rarer than white shooting stars they trail yellow particles.
Crystal Shard - Red shards of crystal that fly around and break into red particles when they collide with the player or it's attack.
Life forms:
Shell - Well armored life form that runs when attacked and leaves behind exploding energy balls.
Hunter - a faster lifeform that chases other life and tries to kill it by shooting energy beams at it.

if you win post your Years to evolve on here.
good luck! :)
