((not really sure what to do now :P))
(Your first action is usually the most important. You could explore, attempt to interact with something if you find something.
Also, you may want to be more specific. In the event that you fail to declare a valid target for an action, you will go after the closest one, even if it's friendly.)

What happens if somebody kills somebody else? Are we eventually going to play multiple creatures of our species at once?
For killing others, there are multiple possibilities. You could assume a member of the same species (If there are other members), or you could become a member of a different race (the game is a little centered around survival of the fittest, so by the time Chapter 2 rolls around, the amount of species will likely be a bit lower.)
Controlling multiple creatures goes as far as your main creature is able to communicate with them. Since none of you can talk or bark or whatever, you are currently limited to just your one guy.

Also, when deciding actions, keep in mind what your creature is actually capable of.
So for you drifters out there, you can't control your movement.
And of you can't see/sense something is there, you can't target it.
This means that Xantalos pretty much can't do anything other than have his creature do it's normal responsive actions, and reproduce.
Oh, you need to find a mate if you want to get a pack/nest together, unless you're Xantalos, because he took that as a power. He's basically a virus in this.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Try to use my limited sensing to find a small creature that isn't one of us to latch onto and feed off of.

Ratchet up the photosynthesis a bit. Hope there's enough carbon dioxide around to make bank.

Seek Plant Life, Consume Plant Life. If any smaller living entities are found, eat them. It's survival of the fittest.

I'm just busy trying to mess with my screen at the moment to try and see the creatures better.  From what I can tell they look awesome, though I'm still trying to figure out which is mine (too difficult to make them out properly).

Yours is in the second row, the second one over. I used a lot of blur effects on that picture, next turn will be a lot more visable.

Swim about aimlessly, dissolving and eating any edible things in my path. If possible, reproduce.

I don't have any eyes, but I am photosynthetic. Shouldn't I get +1 rather than 0?

There are creatures in the picture? I only see white. Ish.

Feed. Grow. Attempt to locate some other member of my species and reproduce a good bit.

Determine how evolution works in this game.

tilt the top of your screen backwards.  Once you tilt it back enough you should see them.
