I'm a bit late to this guestion and I'm not completely sure what you're
asking, either.

Nevertheless...

Using Inkscape to draw the alien organism would work. It's not full
solution, as you'll need to specify the actual movements without GUI
help.

Using Inkscape as the game interface would be a bad idea, though. Sure,
you could kind-a use some parts from here and there, but retrofitting
Inkscape for such a task would likely be a larger task than the game
itself.

As platforms go, I'd recommend looking into making it a browser-based
game. Modern browsers natively display SVG, let you trigger code on
different user interactions, have animation capabilities etc.
