How do you obtain Evolutions in Everything is Bad

When Darwin eats food, he levels up after fixed intervals. You'll then get the option to pick from three different Evolutions. When you get an Evolution for the first time, it gets unlocked. Some of them have specific requirements to unlock. Once you unlock an option, you'll then get the chance to level it up during your run. Unlocked Evolutions have higher chances of appearing on your run for you to level them up.

Screenshot by Destructoid While you'll always have to be careful with your Evolutions, you should also pay attention to the Genetics. Genetics apply pre-run boosts to Darwin, and there are spicy options available in the current build of the game.
