There needs to be some visual indicator on the evolve screen that an alien does not have room to evolve. It is annoying to have to try multiple times as you move around trying to find a space to evolve. Someone could still click on "Evolve" if they really wanted, but would get the "you don't have room" message.
One implementation would be to show the "Evolve" button with a reddish "grey-out" background when there isn't enough room. As you move around and find a place with enough room, the button would go back to normal.

You choose your upgrades and when you close the evolve-menu (becouse of not enough room or another reason) all chosen upgrades are stored in your "shopping basket". When you recall the evolve-menu you'll see the lifeform and upgrades you chose last time you opened it, still ready to use or edit.
I like the idea, because it feel like a disturbing Bug now. And why dont use both, would be perfect. You when morphing makes no sense, And have a Shop.
I think thats the best solution, combined with that "error" sound when you press the evolve menu button
That would be the quickest way to indicate not enough room/not on the ground, since evolving is already so time consuming. Adding as little time to the process as possible is vital to keeping things from becoming frustrating.
