Here is the main screen where you can start a new game or continue one already in progress. Basically you select a planet, and you will start from the cell stage. You select carnivore or herbivore, name your planet, and you are off.
You start off as a tiny cell. In this picture I am the see through green cell with the duckbill platypus, and I have to eat the little red things around the screen while avoiding the bigger, stronger cells. You only have to eat five before moving on to the next stage of being a cell.
In this screen, a giant cell has just come and slaughtered another cell my size, and I was able to collect his horn left on his cell corpse. I am now making a booty call for another cell to come mate with me so that I can evolve and use the horn for myself. The sonar waves you see are the calls of passion being made by me in the center, and my mate is approaching from the left. Overall this stage of the game is so cute that it is impossible not to love it, and the sound effects will make you pee your pants the first time you hear them.
In this screen I have just gotten it on with that other cell, and have evolved into an upgraded version with protective spikes shooting out my ass, and a cooler looking set of eyes. This is as far as I have gotten, and I am already hooked on this game. (literally about 3 minutes in)
I wasn't very excited about this game whenever I first heard of it. I don't know why, but it just didn't give me my jollies. I came into contact with a copy of it a few days ago and thought what the hell? EVERYONE SHOULD GET THIS GAME. It will run on everyones computers on the boards without issues. I have a feeling this game is going to be bigger than big.
