Thanks for an interesting game, and for the link to the Cambrian Creatures.

This is an easy game. And it is on the first page. Much of the reason for making this game is to point to a game which is NOT on the main page, by the author "trilobite".

The game is called "Cambrian Creatures", and is found here:

It's a better game than this one, and certainly worth a look.

Go see it! It is challenging.
