Multicellular

If the cellular level in Spore was your favorite like mine then you'll like this game! I'm still getting the hang of cellular design and motion controls, because there is so much to work with! There are a few bumps in the learning curve if you skip the tutorial so definitely read that and you'll be good. Overall recommended and I can't wait to see where the game goes from here!

My first thought was to be skeptical, and I thought maybe this game was too much like Spore, but I'm a huge sucker for cell games and there is definitely not enough of them so I decided to buy this game and I am not regretting it one bit! I have been playing it all day and am still on the first level and tier of cell upgrades. So it seems like this is one of those games that takes quite a bit of playing to get good at and understand to it's fullest potential - and I love that! I've barely scatched the surface! Very addicting and deceptively difficult game. I've seen some people critque the game saying that it's just a Spore imitation. While I'm sure Spore was an inspiration for this game, there is so much more depth (haha) in Multicellular compared to Spore cell stage. I loved Spore, but it isn't the most difficult game to play or understand, however after a while you can only play the cell stage so much before it gets old and repetitive. This game doesn't seem like that because you can customize so much more, and there is a lot more variety to how you want to build your cell, and the control have WAY more options. You can make it symetrical, asymetrical, you can place hotkeys for specific cells so you can make unorthodox swim patterns, or any cell's abilities. Even learning to make it steer properly is tricky, and nothing at all like Spore. That game couldn't hope to have the cell customization that you see in this game, and on top of that you need to adapt to the environment changing, enemies looking for food, etc. If you like cell games you will probably love this game! Highly recommend it! =)

"So you wanna do the horse show, but without the horse?" This entire game is the first part of Spore, so if you liked that you'll love this. Enough customization options to make it worthwhile, first time players will find it a bit obtuse at first but the learning curve starts being more forgiving shortly. 8/10

4.5/10 As other reviewers have noted, Multicellular has a fantastic concept. You'll play as a bacterium, drifting around in a puddle (at least in the "evolution" mode). As you take in energy (whether plant or animal matter), you can then mutate. You can add cells that increase your defense, allow you to shoot projectiles, or even cells that provide spikes to hurt other bacteria that brush up against you, among other things. I bought Multicellular to play with a friend - I thought it might be interesting to create complementary cells that could support each other in the fray. However, the "evolution" mode is very freeform. You choose how long you'll attempt to survive and what organisms you'll encounter (all are enabled by default). During one game, I was immediately captured in the V-shaped crevice of a fast-moving organism. I was killed rather quickly, as I couldn't generate the thrust in my beginning flagella to escape. Although the game also includes "genetic superiority," "king of the puddle," and "football" modes, I wanted to play with my co-op partner against the game rather than against other human players (I'm also not sure how active the Multicellular community is at this point). Rather than figure out for myself which organisms are the most deadly or what time limit presents an adequate challenge, I would prefer for the developer to put in this work - perhaps a campaign that starts players against lower-level bacterium with only certain unlocks available. As you progress, you'd encounter organisms that are more difficult to deal with and you'd unlock new options for mutation. Perhaps levels could have their own challenges, such as a level that must be played as a carnivore or levels with more storms or darkness than usual. At the very least, it would be beneficial for the game to provide difficulty levels: perhaps "easy" and "normal" could provide a certain subset of monsters and a predetermined time limit? As it stands, it's very much up to the player to dig through the game settings and decide which bacteria are most deadly and what sort of time limit would be suitable. Although it's nice to have so many options available, it's more overwhelming than anything to attempt so much to "create your own fun."

No Updates since 2018. Game is dead.

Liked the look of this and the general idea of developing a cell. What's stumped me is the learning curve, can just about manage movement and although know there's other sutff that you can do can't figure out the controls. I've had a coupel of games, gottten killed pretty quickly and struggled even to feed myself. Whilst Iwouldn't say this is a "bad" game, its beyond me. Have requested a refund, although it looks interesting really can't recommend it.

[h1]向日葵游戏评分：6分（1-10）[/h1] 在这款游戏中，玩家可以从100多种不同类型的细胞中任意选择来创建生物体。可供选择的细胞种类包括：用于移动功能的鞭毛、用于攻击的针刺、用于防御的护甲、用于进食的口器、以及用于存储能量的脂肪等等，每位玩家所创造出来的个体不论是外观还是功能都是独一无二的，自由度和策略性都非常高。 游戏中玩家生存的压力并非来自于实物，而是其它生物体的攻击，因此这款游戏的在线模式会更好玩，但遗憾的是根本匹配不到人。 [h1]欢迎大家关注我们的鉴赏家：https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28763059[/h1] [h1]关注微信公众号和头条号“向日葵游戏”获取更多资讯；官方微博：向日葵游戏评测[/h1]

So i got this game because i hoped it was like the first stage of Spore and it kinda trys to b but fails badly. Its like if you buy a very cheap half functioning watch from wish and tell everyone you got a Omega. Another awsome idea executed poorly. The maps are dull, Baren, small and just unappealing. From the first second in a meaningless game because there are no goals you can and will get faceganked by creatures that are 5 to 20 times as big as you. No balance, no goals, no eyecandy at all. As it stands 28-10-2018 i cannot recomend this game.

I tried my hardest to like this game. I recently came back to it and gave it a second chance. But it's just.... boring. The controls aren't intuitive and the gameplay is bland, The game feels like it's only about half finished, but I think it's been abandoned since there are no new features or changes since I last played. The energy bar constantly is at empty but it's not like it matters, because your health bar takes absolutely ages to drain and you can reset every 2 minutes. If you organism is in trouble you can just go to the menu and reset the health. And why wouldn't you? Your energy drains incredibly fast no matter what and food sources don't give you much to work with. Fat stores drain so fast they're completely useless as well, not that you'll ever fill up the energy bar. The starter organism was better than any other organism I used, because it was small, nimble, and had low energy usage (at least compared to other organisms). Even constantly eating food, I was still losing energy. Combat is stupid too. Every organism has an absurd amount of health and the only way to take anyone down is to literally jam them against a wall. Playing as an omnivore, hunting was pointless, as even with 5 mouths I was actually still losing energy while eating another organism because it took so long to kill with my weapons and mouths. Boring. Even the big organisms had no chance of killing me because of how much health you have. 3/10. Held my interest for a couple hours but I won't be coming back to it. Game clearly isn't finished and the balance is so bad it's like it wasn't playtested. It's not worth even the $5.

This is a revised Comment, I was having trouble with figuring out the game for a hour, As the tutorial Is bland. But the developers Contacted me and helped me out, The gameplay is Intriging..I hope that is how you spell it, I reccomend this
