Honestly that stage of the game doesn't last long enough. It's the best part.

Have you played Thrive? It aims to be the game that Spore should have been and it's pretty cheap. It's a work in progress but the cell stage is already a lot deeper than Spore's.

I second this, Thrive is a good game. It's also open source (though by buying it on Steam you're supporting the devs)

Dear god, I just saw the multiple reply carnage a day later - I never received a confirmation message that my comment was posted. 🤣

It's all good 😂 and I think most of us here are tech savvy enough to understand how and why it happens. I've done it plenty myself in the past. 👍
