Gameplay 5/5 - Really unique concept for a puzzle game and I like how they require you to think about the example patterns more than you think. A very good brain teaser!

Visuals 4/5 - Basic but very nice looking for the game of life! Only critique is UI could be more boxy and simple to fit aesthetic.

Audio 3.5/5 - None except simple sound effects but they are very nice! Though puzzle games always benefit from more feedback and some good music.

Overall 5/5 - A very great entry I enjoyed my time with! Would love to see this expanded in some way, got me thinking the whole time!

Theme 4/5 - Conway's is an interesting interpretation of life in a box, good thinking there!

Nice look to the game. Controls work well.

I couldn't totally figure out what was happening but these types of puzzles aren't really my thing, so I'm sure it was my fault. If it were a fully fleshed out game, maybe some tutorial levels to show how it works.

Kind of hard to be honest, but I liked it a lot and reached the end

Nice puzzles, had a good time figuring them out, always very satisfying to watch it unfold, i did notice the level number didn't increase as i progressed though. Really well done!
