I could swear I have built all of those in Spore at some point.
Geez, it’s like nobody has ever played Spore.
Spore
More spikes is always the correct solution.
Too few phallic animals for that
Just play Spore and you will understand
Was spore worthwhile?
At the time it was revolutionary, till this day I haven’t seen any attempts at recreating it. I did prefer the earlier 2 stages tho (as in evolution stages), later it wasnt as much fun.
It was more revolutionary the day before it was released than the day after though. That game was my first lesson in not getting hyped about something just based on what marketers were saying.
The game could have used at least a few more years of baking. The earlier stages were more complete, though IMO even they lacked breadth and depth. But the later ones were disappointing in their simplicity.
It was the N64 era of evolution.
First one looks like an urchin with pattern baldness
It was a different meta back then. Bottom right is as apex predator
okay, but seriously, why did they evolve so differently than modern-day fish? and if we magically reintroduced them, would they be more fit or less fit than modern-day fish?

I am not a biologist or really anyone with any authority on the matter. Just some guy who likes to read and think about all manner of subjects, so I cannot adequately explain anything here, but if you’re interested in the why, it really boils down to the simplicity of morphological structures early in the development of life on earth, to more complex as evolution did its thing. That’s not to say that evolution has a goal, just that added complexity often means greater advantages. Also, it isn’t as though nothing similar to these creatures exist at all today. These basal forms were a prerequisite to the life we see in the oceans (and on land) today.
Definitely stay interested and read more about morphology and evolution in general! Fascinating stuff.
You know what they’re doing? Their goddamned best.
Early devbrach alpha build, balancing and design got implemented through testing.

OP acting like they got a chance against #1 smh…
#3 still lives today in the form of night terrors, seriously wtf is that thing?
Honestly 2 gets me. Hallucagenia!
