The creatures evolved much faster! If you run the training demo at http://otoro.net/planks/training.html I noticed that after 50-100 generations they develop insect like characteristics.
But for the slime agents, they needed much evolution. I think when I did it I actually had them evolve on the easy version first, and then increased the area size to evolve them on the larger play area. This sort of step by step evolution strategy was covered in some neuroevolution papers I read. I also applied it to the pendulum example.
