  Tide Pools
The small tide pool, which was 9.5cm in depth, 26.7m from the shore, and 5.3m in area yielded the discovery of the fewest organisms.
Of the ten pools tested, the depth ranged from shallow to deep, the distance to shore was from 50.4m to 3m, and the area from small to large (table 1).
Pools closer to the shore are lower in salinity than the ones found farther because they are covered by the tide most of the time and exposed to the sun for a shorter amount of time, meaning they desiccate less, which leads to less of a salinity loss.

According to a 15 minute developer demo, "It basically trains you that the game is about creativity, about making your own stuff and getting used to the controls." The most fundamental portion of this stage is the microbe editor, which is used to evolve your microbe.
