## What it is
Evolve is an open-source browser-based incremental game where players evolve a civilization from primordial ooze into a space-faring empire. It combines clicker and idle game mechanics with heavy micromanagement, built in JavaScript and playable on GitHub Pages.

## Use cases
- play an incremental civilization evolution game in the browser
- find an open-source idle clicker game
- contribute translations to a browser game
- self-host an incremental game locally
- study how an incremental game is built in JavaScript

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source incremental/idle game with deep micromanagement
- you want to play directly in a browser without installing anything
- you want to contribute translations, themes, or features to a game project

## When to avoid
- you want a mobile native game
- you dislike micromanagement-heavy idle games
- you need a game with multiplayer or 3D graphics
