Dust to Life

From particle to organism

Dust to Life is a PC action game about evolving from a single particle into a living organism. In Evolution, you collect nearby matter and grow through seven stages: Particle, Nucleus, Atom, Molecule, DNA, Cell and Organism. Each stage changes how you play, from finding an opposite nucleon to form a nucleus to steering a trailing double helix through ion clouds.

Growing also brings threats. Predators hunt you, rival entities grow alongside you, and other dangers include a one-shot plasma field and viruses. At each stage, you choose one of three upgrades. Those choices reset when you evolve, so you make a fresh selection as the climb continues. Reach the Organism stage and hold yourself in balance to finish the run.
