Cool idea

Cool idea, very pretty implementation of the Game of life. I also think it adds a lot to the atmosphere, that the cell pattern creates the music. 

The levels get very hard quite fast. I only know the basic structures of the game, like the glider, but I think that more experienced players will have a lot of fun here.

It's the game that inspire me to make my game.

Very cool that you've thought about this game when the theme as released. And very cool that you remade this game with a  modern style

This hits bullseye on the theme. The game of life easily gets chaotic from such simple rules

Very cool idea. I've heard of Conway's game of life before, and applying it to puzzles/music is very interesting.

It wasn't chaotic but it was unique!
