We thank every single Universe Architect for your contribution to this necessary adventure out into the unknown. It's imperative for Semblance's goal to learn more about our universe, and your assistance is greatly needed!

The Cells team is extremely grateful to each and every one of you. Without all of your input, beta testing, and patience, we would not have been able to launch this spaceship to its fullest potential and beyond.

Have a steady takeoff, Universe Architects! Stay cellular.

We're well into the final 100,000,000 taps! It won't be long until the anomaly is fully formed.



_________________________

11/02/2021

The anomaly is almost unrecognizable now. Your collective tapping skills are truly impressive!

Won't be long until all of its secrets are revealed...



_________________________

11/01/2021

A sighting of a mysterious presence has been reported within the simulation!

Objectives:
+ Locate and study the anomaly that has made itself known within your individual simulation.
+ Tap collectively with your fellow Universe Architects to uncover its contents!



Good luck, Architects! And stay cellular.

Hello Universe Architects,

The simulation has been updated with a popularly requested mammal. Let's give a big, batty welcome to a new face joining the Main Tree...



Remember the Natural Selection Island competition in April? Players got to choose between six different animalia contestants, and the winner would be added to Cell To Singularity. The bat beat the capybara by a few coarse hairs in the final vote, and now it's finally its time to shine!

Fruit bats, also known as megabats, have officially joined the game! Unlock their trophy node in the new Chiroptera branch, and watch them fly around in the dense jungle of the Land Garden.



Those are some long fingers you have! New trait nodes- including Long Fingers -are now available on the Main Tree. Find the Chiroptera branch near its winged comrades and learn more about what makes bats so cool!




While our team is continuing development on the Beyond, we're always welcoming new beta testers! Interested in joining? Here's how:





If joining the beta isn't for you, we recommend following us on our socials and keeping an eye out for any expansion updates!

Instagram / Twitter / Facebook

Our team is ripe with excitement over our new mammalian edition! In the spirit of Natural Selection Island; if you could add ANY animal to the game, which one would you choose?



Stay cellular, everyone!

Hey Cellular Cadets,

We are adding Bats to the primary simulation next week, and need to test the latest version 9.36 for any bugs.

Specifically we want to make sure nothing is messed up in the Mesozoic valley. As we are programming the Beyond Solar system expansion a lot of the new game code is connected to the Mesozoic valley. We have been testing all week and the build looks good to use, however we just want be extra careful nothing it broken in the Valley, before we push this update to the public.

What to test in the beta?
+ Try to unlock the Bat in the mammal tree.
+ See if you can find the bat in the land garden
+ Check that you game looks normal in the Mesozoic Valley.

Note: If you are already testing the "beyond beta" you can stay on the Beyond beta and test these items from that beta. Both the public beta and beyond have the same codebase, however you can't access the beyond in the public beta. Hope that's not to confusing.

Right click on Cell to Singularity select properties. Choose "beta - public beta" tab then switch your setting to Beta. Note this is not the beyond beta.



Thanks again for your help, if the build looks solid we will roll it out to all players nearly next week.

Hey Cells Testers,
