And so just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in to a life of crime. Actually, every other tribe declared war on me. For just as I was planning to walk over and perform for another tribe, they declared war on me. This, as suspected, made them love me, and soon they were bringing me gift baskets.īut my brief flirtation with pacifism was not to last. I equipped my tribe with them, sent them over to the neighbors' place and played them a song. So when I built up my hut again, I skipped adding stone axes, and added digeridoos.

This can have lasting repercussions throughout the rest of the game. But the decisions you make during the Cell stage are important, because.

It's kind of like Pac-Man except with no power pellets or clear goals, and eventually Pac-Man grows legs and walks out of the maze. The Cell stage doesn't last especially long, which is good because it ends right around the time that you figure out it's not very much fun. Some are vital for survival, like spines and electric tails, and some just look cute. At this point, you jump into one of the game's much-lauded Creators, in which you can add new body parts to your cell.
