I agree, the original plan was for you to play as a mutant fish gathering up other mutant parts and abilities from other mutant ocean life, kind of like spore but faster, unfortunately, that version got corrupted on day 4 and I had to make do with what I had.
That's sad news :( I would love to see how your Spore-style game turned out.
Me and my partner also had an idea of making a game similar to Spore, the cell stage. But it would be too complex for the time period, so we decided to do something simpler :) If you have the time, please test our game. Thank you!!
