Recent hopes for a new Spore sequel arose when new developers were appointed by Maxis, but were quickly axed by an announcement clarifying that neither a second game nor any "major updates" for the first were in the works - thankfully, however, an upcoming indie title may just scratch that Spore-shaped itch.
Strange Seed is a unique little gem of a game, featuring vibrant visuals and god sim gameplay that longtime fans of Spore are sure to appreciate. Players start their lives as simple blob-like beings, working to evolve and uncover new DNA. There's no underwater stage like there is in Spore - instead, creatures in Strange Seed fall from "a very abnormal tree" to the ground where they must fight (and more importantly, eat) to survive.
