I couldn't get your game to run. I installed both redistributables, but when I try to launch your game, it doesn't do anything, I get a quick spike in CPU usage, but nothing appears on screen.

Me too. I already got .NET 4 and XNA 4 and the game still isn't running.

Sorry for the delay. I tried to run it on two different machines (both running Windows 7 Professional), and it was working fine. Eventually I ended up installing a clean virtual Windows XP environment and sure enough, it failed to run.
I managed to trace down the bug and uploaded a fixed version, so it should be working now.
Thanks for your interest in my game!

Ok cool. I got the game running now. Leveling up your organisms is a bit confusing, so I just play by chance and just breed them when I feel like it. I'm too busy to learn right now, heh.
Oh yeah, thank you for adding more gene details when hovering over them.

Nice, glad to know it's working now.
Yes, unfortunately I couldn't make it clear in the game how gene passing is supposed to work. Players shouldn't need to read about this stuff just to play a game... Oh well, lesson learned, better luck next time.

Very complex backstory, too bad the gameplay it's just an avoider..
