🌟 Game Overview

In Pixel Genesis, embark on an evolutionary odyssey across four bite-sized worlds. Starting as a single molecule and ending as a spacefaring human, you’ll adapt, survive, and ultimately plant Earth’s flag on a distant planet. 

This game was created as a part of GameDev.tv GameJam 2025 with theme "Tiny World"

🎮 Key Features

Four Evolutionary Stages

Molecule – Navigate an open 2D cellscape, absorbing nutrients while dodging microscopic predators.

Bird – Take flight in a Flappy-Bird–inspired challenge, flapping through hazards to snag apples.

Human (Fantasy) – Defend yourself  against monsters, and claim victory to unlock the final frontier.

Rocket (Space) – Once again, it’s a high-altitude gather-’n-dodge scene—this time collecting asteroids.

Pixel-Art Charm

Smooth, retro-style animations and cutscenes bring characters and cutscenes to life.

Seamless Cutscenes

Short, narrative vignettes bridge levels, from the spark of life to the planting of Earth’s flag on a new world.

🚀 How to Play

Gather & Avoid – Collect food/items to fill your evolution bar.

Survive – Dodge predators, obstacles, and environmental hazards.

Evolve – Once your bar is full, watch the cutscene and advance to the next stage.

Repeat – Four stages of growth culminate in the final rocket launch and flag planting.
