SPORE

You are a small microscopic living cell, living in the depths of the great blue sea. But soon after, you awake from your deep slumber, and start progressing further and further towards the surface of the water. But there are many challenges to face along the way, and you are very easily hungried, so you eat any small parasite that comes in your way. Your journey has begun...
This game called SPORE, is mainly about you where you start swimming here and there in search of food, filling you DNA bar by eating small parasites. Your main objective is for you to fill your DNA bar at the top of the screen to full, and to see if its full of half full, the parts that are filled will be in colour. As you eat, you fill hearts at the top right hand corner of the screen, where there are 5 hearts waiting to be filled. Each heart you fill will make you increase in size, but as bigger creatures touch you, you receive damage and start losing hearts, about half a heart per touch of a bigger creature. Shrink too much, and you become extinct, and the game is over, and you have to restart the whole stage again, reardless of how much you have completed in that stage. But as you progress, you will grow and gain special abilities. Every 3 levels you progress through, you will be given a choice of choosing 4 abilities : OFFENSE, DEFENSE, SPEED and PERCEPTION. There are only 3 stages of each abilities, but unfortunately you will be unable to complete all of the abilities. You can only choose 5 stages, all at your choice. Now let me give you a list of effects for the 4 abilities. The abilities are in order of 1, 2 and 3, which you have to complete the one before before taking the next stage of the ability.

There are 18 levels to pass in this handphone game, with each higher level number you go, the higher the difficulty. Swim past your fears, wnjoy eating and devouring smaller creatures and avoid the huge fat turtles, as when they touch you, you might get hit up to 26 damage without scales which reduce damage taken. And with scales, it can still strike up to 13-16damage! So just avoid the fat ones, will you? But if you have jets, that can outswim any creatures for a short period of time, you can outswim them actually they move ten times slower that usual. But if they go too close together, it is recommended that you turn tail and fly off. Level 15: The only boss in the whole of the SPORE game. The only way to win this stage is to Eat all the little creatures thatare freely swimming around and eat them all up till you are filled with 5 hearts. Then, get behind that big fat snake(what I call it)and spam '5' when you are directly behind him and his tail, and only press '5' when the tail is targeted. Do not care if you have taken some damage, just continuously eat his tail as you will regain some health when you spam eating his tail. The highest combo I got was 96, and my score for that level was 30k++. The higher the combo, the higher the score. Level 18: The most dificult stage in the whole of the SPORE game. There are no small creatures that you can eat to fill up your DNA bar at the start of the level. You got to trick the little red fishies into charging into the fat turtle, and as the life decreases till 0, all the little things that you can eat will swim out and you can eat them, but you must be fast. Just swim round and round the fat turtles and soon the red fishies will charge into them. A word of caution, do not get damaged by the fat turtles, or if not you have a very low chance of surviving.
Good luck on your journey!
