Someone sent me your video because I made a game based on Conway's Game of Life. I was excited to see your take and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the puzzles in this game, the art and sound design all worked together, and it left me wanting more! Great work

I literally just played your game haha. Awesome work on that!

The idea of cellular automaton is great for this theme. However, the game is quite difficult. I think this is mainly due to poor introduction of mechanics. I found level 8 and 13 to be pretty difficult, but I managed. While level 11 and 15 were too difficult. The other levels were all right. Though, this really depends on seeing the solution or not. I also had a very strange solution for level 16, but it worked. There is also a bug with the generator block, it can duplicate the boundary wall, which I don't think was intended. Though, it could make for an interesting puzzle.

Yep I agree. Difficulty is all over the place

Great execution. I got stuck on level 9 for a while.

This game is great the semi-difficult puzzles make for an excellent time kill however I feel that a sandbox mode where you can place any cell anywhere may make a good addition

This is a masterpiece! Very satisfying. It's not too hard and it makes you feel like a genius when you solved it. Very well-balanced puzzle game and very good concept.

A really difficult, but satisfying puzzle game! It’s fun to watch how simple changes to one block position can affect the entire outcome. I had a lot of fun trying to figure it out. Great job! ;)

Awesome puzzle game, you should polish it up and release it! Needs some good tutorials, but that's about it. Well thought out.

Fun puzzle game mechanic with some good levels. One of the better puzzle games I have played in the jam. Well done.
