Shrunken Spore: Maxis unveils 2D Creature Creator

Created as a promotion for their upcoming Wii/DS Spore Hero/Arena line, Maxis has unveiled a 2D Flash version of the franchise's Creature Creator, and, while it's still a bit rough around the edges (I'm having trouble properly rotating and resizing each of its constituent parts), it's surprising for how close it comes to recreating the original experience (even moreso than the first Spore Creatures DS release).

Currently your creatures can be 'trained' in a simple object-whacking minigame, but even more impressive is the ability to save and load your creations via PNG files, as with the PC original, and all creations are stores in its own Sporepedia.

Let us know if you manage to whip up anything amazing.
