Basically, yes. I'd rather invest my time in other ways. It was a good experiment, however.

EDIT: Here's what is done of the latest update.

A mutation of the Protus, the Multiprotus is capable of reproducing much faster than all other lifeforms, and has thus pushed its ancestors into extinction.

The Spikilia, derived from the Spiktus, has developed cilia to help propel itself. While it is rarely preyed upon, its simple prokaryotic structure limits its future potential for development.

The Latrovella is an unpleasant virus which has arisen from the Latrocinus, the primary difference between the two being that the Latrovella is capable of genetically destroying its hosts. Overall, the simpler Latrocinus is more populous, but both species continue to coexist.

Evolving in parallel the cilia developed by Hunter, the Stalker’s descendant, the Marauder, is capable of both moving and detecting its prey.

The Chemalus Rotara is a unique lifeform, becoming highly successful for its tubular body plan, with delicate internal flagellae protected in the interior.

Spoiler :

Protus
Prokaryote
Evolved From: Primordial Soup
The very first lifeform. A small, reproducing cell which feeds on nutrients it comes across.

Novus
Photosynthetic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Protus
The second lifeform. With an enclosed nucleus and internal membranes, this species and its successors are poised for great things.

Novalus
Photosynthetic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novus
The Novalus is the first lifeform to take advantage of the sun's energy. It was the first to develop the organelles necessary to absorb and process sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide: Chloroplasts.

Blobus
Large Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Novus
This evil cell has developed a way to engulf and 'digest' other cells it may collide with randomly, if they are small enough.

Cicilius
Ciliated Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novus
Cicili move around with metaphorical oars of little hairs, cilia, which beat rythmically.

Parasite
Parasitic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novus
Novus Parasite depend on other cells to live, stealing their energy.

Predator
Lysosomal Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novus
The Novus Predator feeds off of other organisms and has created ways of doing so more efficiently through digestive organelles.

Spiktus
Spike-Coated Prokaryote
Evolved from: Protus
Description: The Novus was not the only lifeform which came from the Protus. Spiktus as grown spikes to stop other cells from eating it without suffering damage or dying.

Barfus
Projectile-Hunter Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novus
Description: It pukes its digestive fluids out on its prey and eats the fluid and the prey.

Bitus
Endocytotic Virus
Evolved From: Protus
Description: A virus, technically it is not alive. This virus can attach to Protus and inject its own DNA via endocytosis.

Ramvus
Lysing Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Novus
One of many of the third wave of lifeforms. With an enclosed nucleus and internal membranes, this species now advances by having a small spike. This ruptures other cells, thus lowering the competition for the Ramvus.

Bigus
Large Ciliated Eukaryote
Evolved from: Cicilius
A bigger version of Cicilius with more hair.

Divalus
Multicellular Photosynthesiser
Evolved from: Novalus
The success of the Novalus' new method of energy collection led to rapid multiplication over the years, which inevitable led to mutation. Occasionally, a Novalus involved in the act of cloning itself would fail to complete the process, leading to two novalus cells stuck together. This turned out to be a positive adaptation as the two cells could collect more energy than one. Into the primordial soup, the first multi-cellular organism was born.

Parasitus
Gene-Exchanging Parasitic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Parasite
Whenever it parasites a cell with a useful trait, it can copy this trait for later use, as well as trade it with other Parasitii.

Chemalus
Chemosynthetic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Novus
A Novus that has developed chemosynthesis, the Chemalus can make energy from inorganic substances.

Blobarfus
Large Symbiotic Projectile-Hunter Eukaryote
Evolved from: Blobus, Barfus
One day, a Blobus tried to surround a Barfus. It succeeded, but instead of eating it, it absorbed it into the inside of the cell. Because of this mutation, the Blobarfus, a multi-celled organism, was born. The Barfus was thought of as a "stomach" to feed the cell.

Latrocinus
Virus
Evolved from: Bitus
Description: While Bitus require itself to be absorbed via endocytosis into a host cell in order to infect, this organism only needs to secrete its own plasmid into the host. The plasmid inside the host will alter its DNA and will reproduce along with the host. The resulting virus from this reproduction will carry a part of its host's amino acids. While it does not kill its host, this virus can transfer genetic materials of its host into another host regardless of the species.

Symabus
Symbiotic Flagellated Eukaryote
Evolved from: Parasite
The Symabus has evolved some kind of cooperative relationship with the Blobus. It uses its flagella to widen its area of searching. When it finds a Blobus, it attaches itself and provides movement to its host. In return for leeching nutrients, it moves the Blobus around so that its host has more chance of finding food itself. If the host survives long enough to divide, the Symabus can detect this, and times its own cell division so that each new cell can latch onto a host Blobus immediately.

Photophilus
Ciliated Light-Sensitive Photosynthetic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novalus
Another inevitable adaptation from the primeval photosynthesizing organism, the Photophilus was a long cell covered entirely by cilia, with a small light sensitive organ on the front. Thus, it fled from the darkness and into the light.

Digestoloco
Flagellated Lysosomal Eukaryote
Evolved from: Novoloco
Description: The Digestoloco is a new evolution of the Novoloco that has digestive organelles which break down anything smaller than itself that it happens to bump into and get nutrients from it. With its flagella, it is still able to move quite rapidly.

Hunter
Ciliated Lysosomal Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Predator
In addition to the more-effective lysosomal digestion (assuming that is the method that was added, maybe more acidic lysosomes?) the Nova Hunter has gained the ability to move around faster by growing CILIA, allowing it to move faster than its Sarcodinate predecessor

Stalker
Light-Sensitive Lysosomal Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Predator
As the Predator flourished two distinct versions appeared. The Hunter seemed focused on movement while the Stalker focused on finding it's prey. A small patch on it's "front" has developed chemicals sensitive to light. While it doesn't allow them to tell the difference between things it can show where there is an abstinence of light.

Sensica
Sensitive Ciliated Eukaryote
Evolved from: Cicilius
New Characteristics: Sensitive Cilia
Characterisitics: Cilia Hairs, Sensitive Cilia
New, weaker cilia beat and can judge whether there is something in the way. It has no understanding of whether it is friend or foe, though.

Ramloco
Ciliated Lysing Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved From: Ramvus
With no method of propulsion, the Ramvus relied on luck more than anything to lyse other cells, but now a new evolution occurred: The Ramloco. Possessing a few cilia at the opposite end to its body as its protein ram, the Ramloco is now much more efficient at clearing its surroundings of the competition.

Multiprotus
Fast-Reproducing Prokaryote
Evolved from: Protus
Almost exactly like the original Protus, except its reproduction via Binary Fission allows it to multiply at ten times faster of a rate. It could duplicate many times in the same time as most other cells take to duplicate once.

Spikilia
Spike-Coated Ciliated Prokaryote
Evolved from: Spiktus
Description: The Spikilia improve on the Spiktus by growing small cilia hairs allowing them to move to cover larger area to find food.

Latrovella
Enzyme Restricting Virus
Evolved from: Latrocinus
Description: Just like its predecessor, it infects a host and uses the plasmid to invade its DNA. However, now, the plasmid of this virus alters the host's DNA to produce restriction enzymes within the cytosol, causing the breakdown of the mRNA, rendering the host unable to reproduce or even function at all. The host will die eventually being unable to produce new cellular materials.

Marauder
Ciliated Light-Sensitive Lysosomal Bacteriophagic Eukaryote
Evolved from: Stalker
Description: Now able to "see" its prey it needed to get to it, the Marauder developed cilia to move and the hairs give it a more accurate description of if the thing it hit was prey or not.

Rotora
Tubular Chemosynthetic Flagellated Eukaryote
Evolved from: Chemalus
Description: A cell with a novel method of movement, it has transformed its body into a hollow tube. The inside of the tube is filled with cilia, now highly protected from damage. However, it also has limited sites for the exit of materials from its cell membrane; these sites are located only at the back of the tube, further increasing the speed of movement.
