All Evolutions in Everything is Crab: Effects, Affinities, and more
Everything is Crab has 121 different Evolutions to activate for your Darwin, and they all offer different benefits. Evolutions are modifiers that change how Darwin acts during a run by activating specific buffs. While it's impossible to know about the nature of every Evolution until you unlock them, this guide will help you erase that problem.

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.
