Cell to Singularity traces the arc of life and civilization through tapping and automation—progressing from single cells through evolution, human history, and technological breakthroughs. The game layers educational content about biology and science throughout its progression loop, making it appeal equally to idle game fans and those seeking something with substantive learning value. Teachers have found it useful as a classroom tool, though aggressive monetization has drawn criticism from players comparing it unfavorably to more restrained idle games.

Since you guys seem to be absolutely desperate to make a buck off this game, look at Realm Grinder which is basically the most long running and profitable idle game there is. Microtransactions are entirely unobtrusive and optional, unlike your predatory and cancerous model. Clicking a flying golden bonus thing should not popup a paywall, it should just result in a payout for the player.

Just another clicker with plenty of opportunity for micro transactions. Don't be fooled into thinking there is some sort of educational value or the like to this game. Most of the entries are just lazy copy+pastes of words you'd find on an evolution wiki and not much more. There's no depth or description. There's no branching paths that show how one event or evolutionary step leads to another. There's no explanation for how anything matters, or happens, it's just keywords and nothing else. Their own description touts the game as "The most accurate human evolution game on Earth!" It must be the only evolution game on Earth because nothing in this has any semblance of reality. Just lazy linear clicking of one noun to unlock the next one noun.
As a clicker game it's also fairly lame. Scaling is all over the place. Some items will have half the cost of an adjacent item but give less than 1% of the reward. Then the next tier will be a comparable cost and give twice the reward. So you're left with these feast and famine periods of boredom. Just really lazy design.
The pictures on the store page intimate some sort of beautifully animated environment that responds to your involvement. A large portion of the renders are static, don't move, and are just scenery on a screen you don't look at. Like the two men fighting. That's not some event, or thing you can watch. It's literally just a static render. The other models that are animated are just spawned by the dozens when you click them enough, then dropped into the same x,y,z spot as everything else. So you get this massive bloom of terrible looking fish packed next to terrible looking eels. All models, animated or not are of the lowest quality. Again, not at all interesting to watch or visually pleasing. So...sooo lazy.
