I like Game of Life and it is fun seeing it with a new skin. Well done :)
The idea has potential.
It is a great hard puzzle if it had a tutorial it would be awesome
I could not complete the first level though:(
Haha, I'd never have thought about using game of life to actually destroy stuff... and it is pretty difficult to properly think about the patterns beforehand. Nice idea!
The concept is perfect ! The game fits perfectly with the theme, what makes your choice so clever it that this time you have to use the out of control in a "positive" way. Watching how the fire move linked to the geometrical use of matches you have used is fascinating ! I have loved to try different strategies and geometrical forms. Your game has a lot of potential. The 3rd level was for me much more easy than the 2nd one since the second level forced me to be very analytical and I have reproduced my technique in the 3rd level and it worked very easily. This game definitely need more polishing and new levels, it's so far one of my favorite game of this jam, great work ! I hope you will continue this game with more complex levels and maybe other mechanics like a square with water...
A picture to show you how.... frustrating it could be sometimes to be out of control ;) Congratulation for your great concept.
A fun twist on the Game Of Life, with a scent of puzzle... I like it!
I know you didn't have time to do it but it lacks a bit of a smooth introduction though.
Thanks. Yeah I made a decision to skip introductory level's to try and make levels that show what can be done with the idea. I might revisit it at some point to try and improve the puzzles
What a great idea!
Thanks
Bug: In second level you have 10 matches
