About House Evolution
House Evolution is a 3D runner where your home travels through history. You start in year 0 with a simple tent on the move, and every gate you steer through adds or takes away years. Pass the year milestones and your home evolves into the next building: a hut, a farmhouse, a cottage, a temple, a pagoda, an apartment block, a family home, a modern house, a hotel, an office tower, a sky tower, a skyscraper and finally a pyramid headquarters, 14 homes in all.
The first three tracks are hand-made; after that every level is generated from its number, with longer tracks, bigger jumps in time and something new every few levels: hourglass pickups, x2 gates, sweeping saws and shuffling gates. Past the finish line your home smashes through a lane of multiplier walls from x1.2 to x5 for bonus coins, and every fifth level is a bonus level with a bigger finale reward. The world around the track changes every three levels: meadow, beach, city, autumn farm, desert, sunset boulevard, snowy peaks and a starry night city.
The start screen shows the homes you have reached. Coins unlock seven paint colours, from Brick and Seaside up to Royal and Midnight, and two upgrades: Time Machine starts every run in a later year, and Fast Forward makes every blue gate add more years. If you fall short at the finish you can jump forward to the target once per level. House Evolution works on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play House Evolution
- Tap Start. Your home moves down the track on its own.
- Drag left and right to steer through the gate that adds the most years and collect hourglasses.
- Avoid the spinning saws and use x2 gates to double your years.
- Reach the finish in the target year or later, then smash through as many multiplier walls as you can.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button and drag left or right to steer.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch the screen and slide your finger left or right to steer.
Tips
- Only the first gate you touch in each row counts, so pick a side early instead of riding the middle.
- Watch the bar: once it turns green you have reached the target year and only need to avoid big losses.
- Time Machine is a good first upgrade because the extra years count towards every target.
- Take several blue gates in a row to build a combo.
