It is a lot of fun. They changed it up a bit from the original game so it works for multiplayer. They were going to do a multi-darwinia and found what you said to be exactly true. It it was not a good idea and the game was not fun, so they decided to make it a whole new game that focused on multiplayer. To answer Peter R it is not really a sequel to darwinia. It is more like a multi player game that takes place in the same world.
