"Spore" Cell Stage

"Spore" is a game by Maxis. You create a creature, then grow it and develop it into a spacegoing race to travel the cosmos. The game has five stages, cell, creature, tribal, civilization, and space. Today I will focus on the cell stage. You start off as a simple cell, having only eyes, a mouth, and 1 flagella. These parts have simple purposes. Eyes are used to see food and predators (duh...). Flagella (faster travel speed), cilia (faster turn and spurts of speed in travel), and jets( large bursts of speed) are used for movement. There are 3 kinds of moulth in the cell stage: filter (herbivore), jaws (carnivore), and proboscis (omnivore). There are 5 ways to damage other cells: jaws (bite), proboscis (suck out food), poison (leaves poison trail when you move and gives immunity to poison), spike (damages all who touch), and electric (projects field that damages nearby enemies and gives electric immunity). Below are 3 videos about the cell stage. All credit for these goes to shadowzack.
