Interestingly enough, I think the core gameplay loop of the first cell stage has actually influenced gaming much more than anything else in spore. All of the popular .io games I know (Agar.io, snake.io, diep.io) all have some feature of that stage as part of the game. Growing in size, fighting other players, getting new abilities: it's all there.
