I was trying to think of an analogy between the game and how startups/big-companies work in real life.

Start-ups are small in size, more agile and can navigate/pivot more easily. Big companies generally take time to pivot and ignore smaller opportunities to grow unlike the small companies. They also have the potential to gobble down small companies.

I wonder what's the most appropriate analog for the spiky cells.



Spiky cells breakup the larger cells. I guess similar to the government breaking up monopolies. A bit of a stretch though.
