ARTIFICIAL LIFE RULES!!!
I got Artificial Life a LOOOOOOOONG time ago now (LOL) and I. LOVE. IT!!! It rocks so much that I cant think of much else to say. And I also reccommend this especially to any Spore (the whole game, the one for the computer) fan (like me ) and also to most other people. It is SO worth 99 cents! And Survival Mode is AWESOMEFUL. I LOVE THIS APP!
Update: OHMYGOSH MY OLDEST "Oldest" PROTOZOA WAS OVER 7,000!!! But then his "Avoid the Sun" chromosome failed to kick in (he mustve been asleep) and he was burned to death... XP
Argh! The most recent update said it fixed the incorrect score glitch in Survival mode, but its still there! I just had a game where my Protozoa was over 1,000 years old when it was killed, but it said my score was 860.... :(
Update: O.O LOL! I saw two red, tailless Protozoa circling a tailless yellow one in Survival Mode! It looked like the Sun when youre zoomed way out with 2 equally sized hiding spots!
Forget what I said about the camera thing. The only problem is that it gets in the way when Im moving the camera.
HOWEVER, the update fixed the glitch that sometimes scrambled the chromosomes! THANK YOU!!! Now my Protozoa wont keep sleeping so long that they starve themselves to death!!! Once again, thanks!
A third update: Thank you! The new updates fixed the glitch where it was saying that the population was at the max, but everyone was dead except the oldest Protozoa and occasionally 1 other Protozoa!
Now Im just gonna say a few random things about cool things Ive noticed while using this app. Unfortunately, they dont exist any more because I had to restore my iPhone to factory state due to some glitch that kept crashing it. (It was a glitch in the iPhone software, not an app. )
There is a certain color of Protozoa in my world that steals babies from their parents. This is odd behavior, but makes a bit of sense to me because the baby then follows the one who stole it, thinking it is its parent. It also is usually a baby of a similar purplish-magenta-ish color but not the same.
There is one color of Protozoa that travels in packs. Usually, probably about half the pack is its on kind, and the rest is other colors. After traveling a while, some of the others will start trust the ones that are the same color and not ever leave the pack like some of the others. Then suddenly, without warning, the cyan ones (the ones that are all the sane color) will kill and eat the trusting ones. This behavior is very interesting as I have only seen it in the cyan Protozoa, all of them do it, and never do it to one another (well, almost never). Its also interesting because that is a very smart way to get food! The foolish ones stick to you, then you kill them when you want to eat. It is traitorous and has nearly killed the Protozoa Im following (I try to protect the ones Im following, and I also usually follow the oldest ones when that glitch isnt there), but I killed them or changed their chromosomes first. Another of the smart/interesting things about this is that they almost always eat the ones they kill instead of just leaving it there, and they seem to have a taste for scavengers.
The last thing I wanna say for now is about the Protozoa I mentioned earlier that lived to be over 4,000. He/she/it kept on mating with his/her/its children, until some of them probably had the exact same chromosomes as him/her/it! But he/she/it only mated with the ones that were the same color as him/her/it. Strange, huh? I also think thats how he/she/it survived so long—he/she/it was always sticking around with its relatives! The Protozoa he/she/it mated with the second-most often were the baby-theives I mentioned.
Dragons Rule! about Artificial Life
