An unrelated game with the same name was released in 2009 for iOS devices as a sequel to Spore Origins, featuring similar gameplay to its predecessor.
Oogie pursues the ship all over Tapti, and when it begins to fall apart after bashing into a number of objects, collecting its pieces along the way.
Gar'skuther simply summons a new ship and flies away, still in possession of Little Oogie, who has now grown a strange tentacle from his back.
After resolving a conflict between two native species and helping to cure a nest from the infection, Oogie reaches the cave entrance.
A cutscene then shows that a creature native to Tapti called a Meeper finds the spacecraft, enters it, and flies away to an unknown planet.
The gameplay is largely based on the Creature Stage of the larger game, with elements of Nintendogs and Drawn to Life.
The gameplay largely focuses on interacting with other creatures to perform quests, play minigames and befriending or battling them to progress in the story and obtain new parts, of which up to 280 can be unlocked.
[3] The game allowed the player to save up to thirty-one different creations, including those from friends over a local, peer-to-peer connection.
"[9] Official Nintendo Magazine said that progress in stages always requires specific body traits, forcing the player to constantly edit their creature, and removing the whole point in the game.
