Not a bad game at the current state. Quite unique concept similar to that in Spore cell stage but much more refined and deep. At the moment it is not as good as it could be tho. Some cells/concepts are hard to understand without a proper explanation or tutorial on what they do/how to use them. Sometimes you get no useful cells in your starter biome which means you cannot defeat the first boss and need to start over (bad RNG). You will die a lot, meaning you restart a lot which gets boring rather quickly as you meet the same creatures in the same biome with the same cells over and over, allowing you to only do very basic builds over and over. Fun starts with interesting builds which are quite possible from the 3rd biome where you can actually find a lot of cells and cook up something very funny to play but you get there rarely as the game is kinda challenging. Gonna recommend this since I see this as a fun little game that you can theoretically spend 100's of hours in and get creati...

Such a cool game. Imagine the first stage of spore but you have COMPLETE control over every bodily/brain function. Throw in some engineering and programming and you get this sandbox masterpiece. There are LITERALLY endless ways to create new creatures with unlimited ways to create new offense/defense/movement systems. Very cool, and I hope the updates keep coming, I feel like im finding kerbal space program in 2012 all over again.

tldr: It's just too expensive for what it is right now. Could be great when finished. You're probably here because you saw this on YouTube and got hyped for this re-imagining of the cell phase of Spore. So was I. In fact, I was so hyped I bought this for 17 euro's. Now I kind of regret that. The core mechanic looks great in principle, and is actually versatile, but almost never viable as a means of beating the game. There are explosives, lightning, acid, poison, lasers and spikes to use as weapons, the first 4 of which require such a specific mix of secondary cells that they will inevitably either kill you or get you killed for not having a complete build. And even if you do manage to find them, the build feels weak, fragile and likely to damage yourself. Lasers can only be found in higher levels (I think) can overheat and are also weak, and that leaves spikes as the only viable build. Which is kind of a let down. I've build homing explosives, a spinning acid sprayer, lightning rods,...

Great game, huge potential. Controls need a massive overhaul before I can recommend this to anyone. There's a reason no games other than snake use snake controls.

the cell stage in Spore but better

The drag reduction "upgrade" turns the game into an uncontrollable nightmare. Other issues that make the game "not fun" for me include * Zero account progression. Your first game is exactly like your fiftieth. * No saves or checkpoints. * No real guides and no one seems to know the rules of the game. * The game is only a couple hours long, but with frequent instant deaths (and my first game I just died without seeing whatever killed me at all) to pad play time. * Forums seem to lack concrete information and the fans are pretty toxic to people who have issues with the game. (git gud doesn't help when I died to nothing I could see) * Controls feel incredibly clunky and awkward.

Out of the gate there is so much potential for this game. I love the sandbox element where you can design any creature you want and possess enemies to see what their builds are. However, it is clear this is still in beta and I have some suggestions to make it more fun and balanced. 1. Spikes are too powerful. Most enemies can be defeated by just covering yourself in hard cells and spikes and enough heart cells. 2. Lightning cells, laser cells and such are too weak. They don't do enough damage to the enemies but do too much to you. I could be missing something but placing grounding cells probably won't help the lightning cells not kill themselves. 3. The map is a maze and not easy to navigate, I want a more thought out layout like set rooms that can spawn or something like in other rouge likes. Is it worth $20? No not right now. Could it be worth $20? Yes if more cells were effective and the map was easier to navigate. I would price it at $10 right now. I do have a lot left to learn a...

awesome game concept, little rough around the edges at the moment but worth if you're into the idea shoutout to the game's body plan files named "penis_boss" and "throngler"
