Not the perfect game but not the worse either.
*Gameplay-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The gameplay is generally ever changing.From the stimulation genre of the cell stage to Galatic Conquest of the Space Stage.However,the first few stages passes quickly and the fun wears off pretty quickly as well.Each Planet isn't big enough for comfort(Though their quantity makes up for it)
*Cell Stage-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easily one of the most addicting or boring stages.All you control is a Cell which have comical looking eyes and depending on the parts you purchased for it,it can be a herbivore,omnivore or a carnivore and will have different defensive or offensive mechanisms.Interestingly this part is like Big eat Small or something like that though it IS possible to kill larger predators or prey,it's incredibly difficult though.
*Land Stage-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You evolved into a land walking species though you start off with very basic functions and defensive mechanism you gained at Cell Stage.Though you will gain more parts by searching for Bones or allying or killing certain creatures.This is generally an Action Adventure/Survival.
*Tribe Stage-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You discovered fire and began a primitive civilisation.Of course,like all tribe you will choose to fight or ally or both.You need to harvest food,make buildings,fend off attackers,tame creatures to nourish your own town.
*Civilisation Stage---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All right comrades,it's modern warfare!Depending on your previous action on previous stages,you will start off as either Military,Economy or Religious state.Religious states does not destroy much but disables buildings and "corrupts" or "take control" of them.Military is destructive on the other hand.Economists do not have offensive units so you need to make use of money to gain allies to protect you.
*Space Stage---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You finally went into Space and this is the final and never ending stage..if you don't end it any way.Your goal is to move to the very heart of the Galaxy though there is an advanced Cyborg Race guarding it.Here you need to put everything you learned to use.You need to gain alliances or make enemies.Though it is impossible to sustain a large amount of allies as they require "maintenance" once in a while.Depending on your previous actions your State will be different.Different states have different special weapons or items and effects.You need to do missions if you ever want to change it.There is also much achievements to be tapped here such as Finding Earth.(I'm telling you,finding Earth in a thousand of dots isn't easy)There is also a certain weapon that destroys entire planets(Something like Deathstar of Star Wars eh?Except it's portable and small,one weeny rocket and boom!)Though it will damage your relations with any near by Galatic Forces and will typically enrage the victim states.

This game has potential but did not make use of it.
