Yep! The guide is a big help too, both by telling you stuff before you learn it the hard way, and by suggesting "themes" for your creatures.
When you start, your creature has a flagellum to move and eyes to see with, and either a carniverous or a herbivorous mouth. Your first job is to eat 5 things (meat or plants), then to kill or find the corpses of the 6 creatures that will give you the other 6 parts.
Basically, you take your water based critter, stick legs under him (or her) and walk up onto the land. All the water based parts switch to land based functions, and you swap them with new parts as you fight or make friends with other creatures.
Here's the really scary part: When your creature is going to mate (i.e. go into the Creator section to evolve to your new selection of parts), the pair of them fart hearts like a pair of Sims!
