And I wanted to theme it with Schrodinger&#8217;s Cat since it was really about alternate quantum universes.<\/p>\n <p>When I saw the &#8220;1000 Kittens&#8221; theme had won, I knew I had to make the game after all. Then I realized it hadn&#8217;t, and I made it anyway. The end result is still relevant to the Evolution theme however. I only spent about 8 hours on it all told.
