I even really liked the cell stage because the gameplay loop was fun and simple, plus you got to eat the bastards who were eating you before you got bigger.
I still have and play the game sometimes. I would have loved for it to be what I envisioned but it’s still the most enjoyable evolution based game I’ve played. I should look and see what else might be available. I really like the concept.
There is a game called thrive that is attempting to do a really hardcore version of spore. There’s still really at the early stages of evolution and the complexity of the bacterial stage is pretty intense.
Evo: Search for Eden is my vote for best evolution game.
Maybe someday we will get a spiritual successor to spore
