Good idea, although not much to play or do in this version.

I really like the concept, but it would be nice if there was more content. Right now there's not a lot to it.

I think I "get" the kind of game you are trying to make.

To really get the max potential out of evolution-based games, it is probably not a good idea to create a unique instance of every possible combination you can get, but rather have them be a product of all the different parameters fed into the organism.

If it is within your ability, creature images should be computer-generated, which a vector or 3D-based medium would be suited for.

(Sorry if I am not wording this clearly)

I get everyone's feedback, not much to do, not very fleshed out, but it would be hard to do all that in the 48 hours. I'm not very happy with it either, but it is what it is.
