Spore Origins Now Available for iPhone and iPod Touch

Monday September 8, 2008 12:36 pm PDT by Arnold Kim

EA's Spore Origins [App Store] is now available in the App Store.

The $9.99 game offers a miniature version of the much anticipated Spore game that was released yesterday. EA is advertising some iPhone/iPod Touch exclusive features including:

- Tilt, turn and twist your way through the primordial ooze with your motion-sensing accelerometer.
- Pinch, pull and poke your creation in the Creature Editor, customizing the texture, shape and body parts to fit the way you play.
- Personalize your game-play by skinning your creature with pictures from your device's Photo Albums

There are 2 game modes (Evolution and Survival) with 30 levels total.

Interesting, though i'm not sure why the game is so appealing to alot of you guys. Seems pretty boring to me, but would be interested in any reviews that people post. i've been known to be wrong before :)

Seems like big shops like EA must receive some "preferential" treatment by apple so that they can control release dates of their apps, whereas everyone else, it's pretty much when apple wants to release them.

If only you could upload your finished creature in the the full version... Maybe an update could add this.

Still, $10 for 1/5 of a game isn't that bad.

And....once again I find out about a new game NOT from constantly checking iTunes App Store (because right now it's buried there, having a release date of Sept. 5), but from coming here and seeing a post about it. Thank goodness I check macrumors as regularly as the app store -- but what about the people who don't??

They really need to change the whole "early release date" system they have, as it just doesn't work. I'm sure a big release like SPORE is going to eventually get an ad on the main App Store homepage, so people will find it that way -- but what about all the other smaller app releases that can't afford a front-page ad, and get buried on the first day they're released?? Doesn't seem right...

Chill out. It takes awhile for the apps to be added to the lists in the App Store on the iPhone and iTunes. Give it some time, it's not the end of the world. If you really need it now get it from the link above, and stop complaining.


I don't think he was complaining. "stop complaining" sounds rather harsh.
