How does your game fit the theme?
In the game, you only set the initial conditions on the grid of cells. After pressing play, you can no longer control anything. Instead, a simulation unfolds, with each cell behaving based on its own set of rules.

10/10 Love this puzzle game
INCREDIBLE GAME! I loved it! Might want to work on your pixel art a little but I still gave it 5 out of 5!
I LOVE THIS GAME though could use more LvLs and a sandbox PLEASE sam hogan 9/10
This is a great game with excellent puzzles!
great game
Really unique concept as always expected from Sam. The artstyle matches perfectly with the concept. Some levels really make you think. Overall a really really fun experience.
The game has a steep learning curve. And No Saving :(.
Can you fix that?
You can play any level at any time, what do you mean by "saving" here?
Can anyone explain me why this works? xD
I had no idea I can move the gray blocks, so I did it without moving them.
But nevertheless, interesting idea, executed well! There are some inconsistencies, though. Like in the example above, I'm pretty sure they should not behave the way they do, but mostly everything works as expected.
Great job, had a ton of fun playing it! :)
Very integesing game with pretty good art and idea!) I saw your video on youtube. The game looks finished. Well done!
I made Uncontrollable and crazy Machines LOL
Sooo,I Played this Game For A while and i LOVE it!
This was without a doubt one of my favourites from the jam, great job! I loved level 15 the most!
Very good
when I click the button step by step it leads to one solution, and continuous playback leads to another solution, is this how it should be? I recorded a GIF with the gameplay: BUG may be?
Definitely a bug, the game's not deterministic (even though it obviously should be). Thanks for letting me know!
I wish I could make games like this! Hope you win!
nice job, this is a really good game :D its very creative! i know it had been said before, but a sanbox mode would be awesome
Loved the game, similar to Conway's game of life you can create so many possibilities out of very few rules. I would love to see this game be expanded to have it's own level editor and be able to see all the crazy puzzles people come up with.
Thanks so much! I might keep working on it...
Excellent. Best game I've played in the jam. A lot of potential.
Thanks! (but there're many better entries haha)
Awesome! Also, I somehow managed to create a machine that has a different outcome each time you play?
I also did that too but with a different setup I forgot though
Yeah turns out the game isn't deterministic at the moment (I don't think it would be too hard to fix though). Thanks for checking it out!
This is genius. I think making a cellular automata into a playable puzzle game is a cool and original idea. This has lots of potential to be a complete game. My favourite game from this game jam so far!
Thanks for checking it out!
