Spore Origins

Moby ID: 36066

Description

The mobile version of Spore initially has two game modes, Evolution, where the player creates a spore which he has to help climb to the top of the food chain, and Arena where the player can use the spore created in the Evolution mode to battle against other spores. A third mode, Survival, is unlockable.

The Evolution mode is similar to games like flOw. Starting out with a small organism, the player has to eat even smaller creature to grow. As he do so, a DNA bar will be filled, and once it is full the current level is completed. One will also come across larger creatures that have to be avoided, if not the player will take damage and shrink. Throughout the levels, the player will find different kinds of symbiotes that will have a positive effect on the spore. These can either protect the player, increase the speed or poison enemies that come close. The action is shown from a top down perspective, and the d-pad is used for controlling the spore.

Between levels the player will be able to customize his spore with an editor. The further in the game the player gets, the more changes to the spore he can make. He will be able to resize each body part of the spore, add new parts that enhance its abilities, and change its' colour and texture. After finishing the Evolution mode, the player will get the DNA code of the spore, which can be used to share the creature with other players.
