I remember my days of playing Spore from this game. I love starting out small and climbing slowly up the food chain. The controls were a little clunky but not bad enough to put me off from it. I can understand due to the nature of the game jam and the time constraints. Overall this was a great idea that I hope you will expand upon some more. There's so much you can do with it such as more mechanics, abilities of some kind, and better combat/fighting. Overall nice game, good concept. Thank you for sharing :)
