The sequel plays much like the original using tilt based controls for movement. Players steer their creature towards other smaller creatures to consume them. Once enough creatures have been consumed your creature will evolve gaining new abilities such as shells, wings and mouths.
Sadly you can’t customize your Spore creature in great detail, such as adding bumps on your creature’s lower lip, I really wanted my creature to sport some nice cold sores too. Hopefully EA adds this feature in the next update *crosses fingers*.
