I'm looking towards this game with both anticipation and scepsis.

On one hand I think it might be a "fun" game. All videos I saw of the game looked like the game has a huge replay-value as every game can take a different path because there are unlimited strategies.
On the other hand the game is largely "made up". I dislike the level concept and think that the transition from one stage to the other should rather be fluent. Also I dislike the great influence the player has on what the developers call "developing". There is no development, as the creatures just instantly switch from one state to another.

So basically my scepticism is about the fact that this game uses an unlogical representation of a logical mechanism to make up the game-mechanics.
I would much rather have liked to see an approach similar to www.nerogame.org as it's a very simple yet powerful principle of evolution. My point is that the fun of playing the game is spoiled by the heavy alteration of the principle of evolution and the concluding grief about this botching.

hmm I see what you mean. Very true, the offsprings can be completely different from their parents cos you can edit them to be whatever you like.
