About Cell Lab: Evolution Sandbox APK
Table Of Contents
Description
WARNING: Cell Lab is a very challenging game that requires lots of thinking and experimenting. Reading the instructions will be necessary. If you enjoy difficult simulation puzzles then this is for you.Cell Lab simulates few-celled organisms. It contains 45 challenges where the player is presented with an environment and has to design an organism that will survive in it. Solving challenges unlocks additional genes that can give cells new properties.
The encoding of the cells behaviour has been made as intuitive as possible without losing generality but it nevertheless takes a bit of effort to understand. Going through the provided tutorials carefully is recommended.
Cell Lab also contains an experimental mode where the user can set the parameters of the environment and put designed organisms in it to see how they multiply (or die). It is also possible to seed this environment with random genomes and once a viable genome has been seeded one can see how it slowly evolves through tiny mutations to an organism well adapted to the environment it is in.
It is then possible to change the environment to see how they re-adapt, fast forward the simulation, and finally to save and share it.
This simulation is not biologically realistic, all cells in Cell Lab only has one function, to swim, to eat, to collect sunlight, to float, etc . This is not how cells work in nature where one cell can do many things at once. This accuracy has been traded off to be able to make an interesting game. The cells have also been made to multiply very fast, this also for the enjoyment of the user.
What is realistic is the evolution taking place in this game. How species adapt to their environment and compete with each other to sometimes attain an equilibrium and sometimes extinction.
Features:
• 4 tutorials
• 45 challenges
• 16 types of cells with different functions
• 20 cell-modes per genome to program
• 22+ parameters in each cell mode
• Environment editor with 27 parameters
• Simulates and renders up to 1000 cells at decent frame rates
• Arbitrary number of cells and petri dish size in advanced mode
• Beautifully animated vector graphics that lets you zoom to atomic scales
• Save, load and share both environments and genomes
• Simulation fast-forward and slow-motion
• No advertisements or in-game payments

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
4 ★Great simulator, a bit complex at first, but after a while you get to see that it's a pretty simple game.
5 ★It will be nice if I can log in and save my progress to Google Play in case I need to delete stuff (storage issues). It's not fun trying to remember/recreate what I did just to get back where I last left off. Overall, this game is excellent at what it is advertised to do; with a bonus of no in-app payment and, most importantly, no ads! A great and amazing educational game; and it's free!
5 ★One of My Favourite Games It is educational as well as good entertainer. Hats off to Developer(s) for developing such amazing game. Eagerly waiting for update and new challenges.
5 ★Very cool, creating cells to complete challenges is pretty fun. I appreciate the way the game starts off simple then becomes more complex over time.
5 ★Best Mobile game ever! Seriously, I've never kept a game this long. The challanges are super engaging, some taking me months to finish. My favorite part, being the minimal hand holding from the game, is a bit of a double edged sword though. New aspect have a steep learning curve. But the endless possibilities and total freedom keep bringing me back. No adds, no pay to play, and hands down the best intellectual/engaging chalanges I've ever had. I'd recommend this game to anyone! It's that good!
5 ★Please PLEASE add purchase all cells that will cost 3.99 please uptade so there's purchase full version oh and add full version cell lab that has all cells and all missions completed please add purchase all cell please
5 ★One of the coolest sims I have ever used. Just keep adding new parameters and cell types. One suggestion: The substrates in the Experiments section should have programmable parameters. For instance, you should be able to make the substrate viscosity decrease/increase every 200 in game hrs. Would be nice to see and very useful when trying to use natural selection to solve a challenge.
5 ★My Favorite puzzle app. It strikes a perfect balance between creativity and logic. I really appreciate this work of Petter's and I hope to see more creations from him
5 ★Cool game. Very cool. I like it, especially when you can create your own things
4 ★Great and fun! But i do have an issue where i cant select the top option after i go into an option in the genome editor. Its near the top of my screen and i'm guessing thats my problem...
5 ★These challenges are hard, but I've learned how I could complete those. These are creative too! This could also be helpful in Chemistry/Science Classes for the Students to learn how Cells work.
3 ★It's a good game but it won't allow me to turn initial off so I can't beat the game or unlock all of the cells
