Honestly, imagining this is kinda fun. You could imagine that in the real world, they would likely texture or taste-code things in order to know what they are. I wonder what that would be like, as in, they would never be able to comprehend the things outside of that limited sensory range so how would they implement them properly?

For me, no other organism has struck such fear inside... for this thing, cannot be stopped. It always comes back.
Can't believe I'm still learning new things about spore, I never knew of the beast master ability in the tribe stage, and the only way I could win the tribal stage is to go aggressive, I still don't know how I managed to kill almost every tribe with literal slugs, must have been one in 1000 lucky chance XD
Wrong. You have to run the game using the Minimum system requirements on the lowest usable resolution (640 * 480) CRT monitor with a keyboard and mouse that only passes as "functional".
Wrong. You have to play the game blind, deaf and with a plugged nose, so that you can only rely on your senses of touch and taste to get the true pitiful worm experience.
Love your spore content! I dunno how “speedrun” friendly it would be, but I would be interested to see how fast you could completely wipe out the grox, as a companion to your “ally the grox” run. I’m actually curious what the game might do if the grox are completely eradicated if you go there with a different race later.
My guess it would take around 80-100 hours. 2400 Grox systems, maybe 2 minutes each +/- other prep. Hopefully I'll find the time some days to give it a go! :D
There is a Wiki for Spore and for the Grox page it does say in the notes what would happen if you find a way to completely wipe out the Grox, which can be done in multiple ways. But the short of it is that, once the Grox are gone your future creatures won't be able to meet them. Even though they will still be asked to find the Grox. There is also the issue that some of the planets under Grox control are too far away to get to before getting to the Core of the Galaxy. So if you want the 'speedrun' to end with getting to the Core, an official mod is needed in order to expand the travel radius when near the Core. There are ways around that, but they take time and Sporebucks. Since KinglyValence doesn't seem hesitant about taking advantage of glitches and what not, a good idea is to play the game with intentions of becoming a Zealot in the Space Stage. The Fanatical Frenzy ability can be instantly recharged if you save, exit to menu, then load back in. Making it so you don't have to wait the what... 20 or so minute recharge timer?
@@toimine8930 Yeah I know that, but I mean for those who save meeting Steve for last. If they wanted to get to all of the Grox colonies before meeting Steve, they will need something that increases the range a bit more.
I rarely play Cell as herbivore so I always thought Siren Song was just for protecting yourself from aggressive creatures or preventing orange (unhappy) creatures from attacking you first while you socialize them. I never knew you could use it to bring a creature from red (angry) face :o Also I think the tribe happiness dropping down when you're at blue or green because they attacked your pets has happened to me before. That happened to me with a tribe that was blue with me and I didn't realize it was over my pets, so from then on I just assumed there was a time limit on blue where it would eventually drop to yellow, but not on green. This whole run made me remember how when we as humans eventually leave this planet and solar system, unless we do a perfect sterilization of ourselves and our ships (which likely isn't possible), we'll be shuttling bacteria native to earth around the galaxy with us. There really will be limbless space slugs in the future.
sure the herbivore mouth in the cell stage is bad because you cant attack, but in creature and tribal stage, id argue that the herbivore mouth is actually better, because you can get food freely instead of having to kill things for food.
I didn't know you can eat eggs to get dna. I've been playing this game since I was a kid. The glitches you showed were awesome too, they really just add to the game's charm. I love listening to your speedruns in the background while I do other things! It's a shame Spore doesn't have more of a cult following. Anyways, thanks!
You don't need to be adaptable for Tribal, if you isolate a small group of enemy tribe members and preform for them they'll be much easier to befriend. You can be predatory, friendly, or adaptable. I did a personal challenge with Folees only (green starting cell with one eye)
Did you do it on Hard difficulty? On Easy/Normal this is doable, but I couldn't get enough performance on Hard without the tribal equipment or beast master.
"These formless spirits haunt the void. Their ghost ships pass anywhere they please, yet are too weak to affect any part of the galaxy." "We have begun to pray to their god, in the hopes that they shall grant us the salvation that these pitiful worms must have been given."
This kinda makes me wonder why they didn't introduce an extinction mechanic into the game if your creature dies too many times. I think Spore would have been a little more interesting if it were a rogue like lol
This game was a mess on release, a slew of broken promises, unfocused gameplay, and with the dishonorable title of being THE most pirated game ever. Despite this, it is sort of a cult game. Creature stage is probably the most engaging, and then space stage.
A shame this Worm cannot use their iconic bazookas or holy hand grenades; would make this challenge a lot easier. Still, a really cool challenge to set yourself. 2:02 - An get immediately ganged up on by other cells... and again at 2:32; this is just a recurring thing for this cell stage run, isn't it? 5:22 - The key to the Worm cell's success; blind luck and neutrality in conflicts. 8:23 - This basic worm creature came onto land and immediately became a menace to society. It attacks everything it bumbles into and cares not even for it's own kind. 13:00 - Given how you went about recruiting this creature with your window opening glitch, this feels like your Worm is winning it over with social skills and more like it is a parasite controlling these far stronger creatures. This run is rather terrifying when you think about it. 15:30 - These aggressive, fire-producing parasites also spawn at an alarmingly rapid rate. 19:36 - You did a practise run for this? Gosh, you've been at this video a while then given the time and deaths it took you to get to this point on your more experienced run. The dedication is admirable... and a little crazy. 23:45 - There is something so amusing about seeing your worm creature just being flung through the air like that. 26:02 - For a creature to build that with no limbs or eyes is still an impressive feat. Pretty amazing that 26:37 shows that this tank can double as a boat. Their simplicity has stumbled upon something amazing! 29:30 - "We see an opportunity; let's invade quickly." I don't think these Worms know the meaning of quick. 30:44 - Your Yellow allies were trying to so forgiving towards your traitorous Worms. They really should have done some research on to just who they were allies with. The Worms were never meant to be trusted at any point in history. 35:53 - I suppose all these other aliens are seeing is the debris of your wrecked ship and your crew of Worm corpses floating through space, which is why they are uninterested. Gosh, this was hilarious!
You took so long to beat cell stage that halfway through, your star would’ve became a red giant and potentially consumed your world, but at the very least you should’ve boiled before you ever left the tidepool.
I love rewatching these pitiful worm challenges from time to time, they help me believe in myself whenever I see these pitiful guys becoming the space-faring race. I propose another challenge: make a cell even more pitiful. That is, not a worm, but a small sphere, with a tiiiiny mouth. On its butt. Let's see how well these guys will do.
I find it funny that a bacteria managed to do THIS much in 5 hours. That said spore devs are probably watching this and thinking about patching the glitches but also... "Wait a sec, who's gonna pay me?"
There is something so pleasing about your worms... spitting in the face of evolutionary selection pressures, through sheer bloody mindedness, clever strategy, and a ton of hard work.
The bug where an allied tribe goes back to friendly can also happen if you use Fire Bombs near an ally's main hut. You can even destroy the village afterwards. Also, I had no idea you could use social abilities twice in the same turn in creature stage, this is really cool. How do people even find these glitches?
Some ideas to make this challenge harder: -Make the body as large as possible and the mouth as small as possible to make cell stage harder -Put the mouth in a really inconvenient spot like the back -Make the buildings as large as possible so that they overlap
I can sense your increasing desperation and rage in the cell stage. I'd be willing to bet this was your first ever time having a hard time in cell stage
Just found your channel and holy shit you’re fantastic. Just started playing spore again after years and loved it. Every one of your challenges are fantastic and always great to watch. I’d suggest doing streams and/or starting some “lore” type videos. I for one would love to know more about the stuff in space stage, either way keep up the great work. Love it!
I once had a tribeman with blue face relationship attacking my pet out of blue (like in a video) and they turned red as soon as my pet started fighting back. It probably happens because the game still considers player's pets as normal animals that can be targeted by AI tribes for hunting, but since player's pets are also technically a part of the tribe, any damage dealt by them to other tribes is considered an attack on this tribe
Nice video as always, though you could have added some quick color to your creations. Post-scripted gaming videos like yours are criminally underappreciated when compared to post-edited streams. I'm very grateful for the effort you put in your videos to best immerse us!
Awesome video. I really like how this challenge incorporates these different tricks and glitches; it make it all the more enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!
Tbh, spore is one of the games i grew with and is honestly one of the bests games i ever seen through all my life, the freedom to build whatever you want is incredible, and is a really fun game to play for all ages.
Maybe once a month the YT algorithm manages to recommend me some really excellent under the radar content. This was one of those times. Loved this video and watched a few more right after. Making sure to comment and like so that others will be blessed by the algorithm like I was. There's loads of people like me who played this game 10 years ago and would be interested to see what the speedruns / challenge runs are like. Wouldn't be surprised if your channel starts to blow up!
Fascinating job, particularly that moment that our Tribal worm held their staff up. Somehow. Interesting glitches shown off too, thank you for the demonstration and commentary. Great video!
oh! i knew for ages that you can push creatures away with their nest (and as ive also learned on my own also making sure theyre selected) to ally them but not that you can use the same to attack them! i actually did a challenge last year or so where i completed creature stage by excluxsively eating eggs. it was annoying at first but really picked up once i was able to upgrade my creatures mobility you can double your social ability??? that doesnt seem like something that works on windowed though? hiring stronger creatures to attack for you is also clever ! it even factors into tribal stage oh yeah i forgot about the free baby trick its still preddy cool you can gift from a distance???? this sounds really cool i love learning of new spore things from these vids i also didnt know social outfitter parts actually had such an effect on allying to the point where its like impossible just why was the brown villager attacking one of the pets ? this is realy funny i didnt know building creations had a gameplay effect too??? this is new to me wowww the zombie ship usage is also clever. i like the clever tricks used to get around everything
Thank you! :D For doubling the Creature's social abilities using Control, Alt, Delete, the game was in Windowed mode. I'll always play in windowed because Spore doesn't record too well with OBS in full screen.
that space section reminds me of a very similar glitch in Deus Ex where you do some save loading trickery to play with 0 torso health so the game considers you to be dead
I love how this person genuinely cheated to make things harder. I love it when people do things like that, and use cheats and glitches to make the game even more difficult instead of just breezing through it like someone who 100%ed a game and then started an NG+ save.
Awesome! Glad to see one of my favorite Spore creators inspired such a fun speedrun! If anyone hasn’t seen Narotiza’s video on Star Worm, I highly recommend, legit one of my favorite Spore videos.
18:18 I think you can perform a glitch where you save right after you ally, and then you won’t upgrade your settlement, and won’t need additional instruments
I found it hilarious that between blind, featureless slugs and their much more powerful allies in the creature stage, they evolved to be the masters in tribal stage with the allies as pets and livestock
Would love to see a pitiful cell run with no deaths. But having played cell stage on hard myself, I don't even think that is possible without just pure luck.
i love your videos. the spore sfx r super nostalgic for me and its calming to listen to them, but your voice is also super calming & your commentary is very clear and concise. love putting ur spore vids on and drawing
I like the fact that the Pitiful Slugs were religious during the city stage, as it is only through divine intervention that they continue to exist and prosper.
"Dear Pitiful Worm God, may you grant us the wisdom to stay in our lane, the courage to be sociable, and the power of luck."
I feel like the religion of the pitiful slugs is the belief in ultra-ascetism. Being nothing, incredibly simple beings and yet in tune with reality.
Well it doesn’t mean there really was divine intervention

I love rewatching these pitiful worm challenges from time to time, they help me believe in myself whenever I see these pitiful guys becoming the space-faring race.
I propose another challenge: make a cell even more pitiful. That is, not a worm, but a small sphere, with a tiiiiny mouth. On its butt.
Let's see how well these guys will do.
Love this, really brings me back to all the weird runs where I crafted convoluted lore for all my races. Thank you for making this
Eldritch psychic slugs with cosmic knowledge conquer the whole planet.
I find it funny that a bacteria managed to do THIS much in 5 hours.
That said spore devs are probably watching this and thinking about patching the glitches but also... "Wait a sec, who's gonna pay me?"
Also, "Wait a sec, where's the source code?"
There is something so pleasing about your worms... spitting in the face of evolutionary selection pressures, through sheer bloody mindedness, clever strategy, and a ton of hard work.
Blind, limbless, weak, naked worms with terrible tech, flying an energyless, empty, destroyed ship. Amazing
The fact it looks like a tampon in the thumbnail is even funnier. Lol
Nice to see people still keeping Spore alive
The bug where an allied tribe goes back to friendly can also happen if you use Fire Bombs near an ally's main hut. You can even destroy the village afterwards.
Also, I had no idea you could use social abilities twice in the same turn in creature stage, this is really cool. How do people even find these glitches?
Amazing as always. Perfect run!
LETS GOOOOOOOO IM SO HAPPY YOU POSTED IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
Some ideas to make this challenge harder:
-Make the body as large as possible and the mouth as small as possible to make cell stage harder
-Put the mouth in a really inconvenient spot like the back
-Make the buildings as large as possible so that they overlap
I can sense your increasing desperation and rage in the cell stage. I'd be willing to bet this was your first ever time having a hard time in cell stage
Red vs blue, a stalemate, its a wonder that it isn't in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere
Just found your channel and holy shit you’re fantastic. Just started playing spore again after years and loved it. Every one of your challenges are fantastic and always great to watch. I’d suggest doing streams and/or starting some “lore” type videos. I for one would love to know more about the stuff in space stage, either way keep up the great work. Love it!
Same here!
Thank you so much! :D
A lore video is an interesting idea, that could be fun!
repent
I once had a tribeman with blue face relationship attacking my pet out of blue (like in a video) and they turned red as soon as my pet started fighting back. It probably happens because the game still considers player's pets as normal animals that can be targeted by AI tribes for hunting, but since player's pets are also technically a part of the tribe, any damage dealt by them to other tribes is considered an attack on this tribe
Nice video as always, though you could have added some quick color to your creations.
Post-scripted gaming videos like yours are criminally underappreciated when compared to post-edited streams. I'm very grateful for the effort you put in your videos to best immerse us!
Even the most pitiful of slugs can overcome anything with the power of friendship! And egregious loss of pitiful slug life
Awesome video. I really like how this challenge incorporates these different tricks and glitches; it make it all the more enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!
I've noticed a few people complaining about over narration. But I found it incredibly informative. Nice vid keep up the good work
Tbh, spore is one of the games i grew with and is honestly one of the bests games i ever seen through all my life, the freedom to build whatever you want is incredible, and is a really fun game to play for all ages.
You know, these little worms are actually kind of cute. 🪱
Omg the worm has a smiley face
@@snomfrompokemon2496 Yup
So good to hear from you again! Great run by the way ;)
Maybe once a month the YT algorithm manages to recommend me some really excellent under the radar content. This was one of those times. Loved this video and watched a few more right after. Making sure to comment and like so that others will be blessed by the algorithm like I was. There's loads of people like me who played this game 10 years ago and would be interested to see what the speedruns / challenge runs are like. Wouldn't be surprised if your channel starts to blow up!
This is impressive, really pushing the game towards its boundaries
Keep coming back to this challenge. Its concept is hilarious
Fascinating job, particularly that moment that our Tribal worm held their staff up. Somehow. Interesting glitches shown off too, thank you for the demonstration and commentary. Great video!
I love how you thank us for watching at the start 😭🙏
oh! i knew for ages that you can push creatures away with their nest (and as ive also learned on my own also making sure theyre selected) to ally them but not that you can use the same to attack them!
i actually did a challenge last year or so where i completed creature stage by excluxsively eating eggs. it was annoying at first but really picked up once i was able to upgrade my creatures mobility
you can double your social ability??? that doesnt seem like something that works on windowed though?
hiring stronger creatures to attack for you is also clever ! it even factors into tribal stage
oh yeah i forgot about the free baby trick its still preddy cool
you can gift from a distance???? this sounds really cool i love learning of new spore things from these vids
i also didnt know social outfitter parts actually had such an effect on allying to the point where its like impossible
just why was the brown villager attacking one of the pets ? this is realy funny
i didnt know building creations had a gameplay effect too??? this is new to me wowww
the zombie ship usage is also clever. i like the clever tricks used to get around everything
Thank you! :D
For doubling the Creature's social abilities using Control, Alt, Delete, the game was in Windowed mode. I'll always play in windowed because Spore doesn't record too well with OBS in full screen.
when you bribed Red and Blue during the Civilization Stage:
" Keep your friends rich and your enemies rich and wait to find out which is which. "
“Your people are descended from limbless space slugs!”
“And we thought we were blind”
that space section reminds me of a very similar glitch in Deus Ex where you do some save loading trickery to play with 0 torso health so the game considers you to be dead
I love how this person genuinely cheated to make things harder. I love it when people do things like that, and use cheats and glitches to make the game even more difficult instead of just breezing through it like someone who 100%ed a game and then started an NG+ save.
This is the most hilarious challenge ever and I love it
Always nice when speedruners do commentary videos. Thank you for this one!
after 12 billion years, these blind slugs managed to push a smol winged box to the center of the galaxy.
dunno why, but i'm oddly inspired.
I have never before related to a spore creature so much
Thanks for still making spore videos, they are really interesting
Spore: Dark souls
Dark Spores (not to be confused with Darkspore)
Isn't that Darkspore?
spore sl1 fists only
imagine going extinct because your entire species got decked by dudes with one mitochondria
By A mitochondria
I am so glad people are still playng this game, I miss it so much
Awesome! Glad to see one of my favorite Spore creators inspired such a fun speedrun! If anyone hasn’t seen Narotiza’s video on Star Worm, I highly recommend, legit one of my favorite Spore videos.

I think you can perform a glitch where you save right after you ally, and then you won’t upgrade your settlement, and won’t need additional instruments
Imagine being such a pitiful species that you lose allies for sucking at life so much.
I never would have guessed people were still speedrunning Spore all these years later, my faith in humanity is restored. Thanks youtube algorithm
God, i CANNOT imagine the patience this must've taken
Existing fills this worm with... *DETERMINATION*
If this isn't the most motivational success story I don't know what is

This is a fine tribute to the best Spore lets play ever.
I found it hilarious that between blind, featureless slugs and their much more powerful allies in the creature stage, they evolved to be the masters in tribal stage with the allies as pets and livestock
I just leave my comment here to support the Spore community.
Fantastic commentary, this was an amazing video and really well thought through on the challenge. You're a really good technical commentator.
im super glad to see somebody so invested in spore. it's a game i grew up with, so it's nice to see it getting appreciated
Would love to see a pitiful cell run with no deaths.
But having played cell stage on hard myself, I don't even think that is possible without just pure luck.
All those little victories kept a species hopeful over 200 million years of misery.
Damn your civilization stage was on point
Thanks God i've found your Channel... I love the vids and the content... I dont play anymore, but I love to see!!!
i love your videos. the spore sfx r super nostalgic for me and its calming to listen to them, but your voice is also super calming & your commentary is very clear and concise. love putting ur spore vids on and drawing
This speedrun is cursed ASF
Still amazing
Playing eyeless can be an incredibly fun way of playing to spice things up, but I will never try the pitiful worm challenge.
The most hilarous thing is how calm the guy is
"we're gonna duplicate the babies, just like a normal run"
