Love it! It’s genuinely a good game.

Interesting idea, but it seems to be pretty "luck based". The way Game Of Life works is that even if you know all the rules, it's very hard to predict how a system is going to behave, so I ended up just randomly trying various arrangements until one worked. I made it until the puzzle with a purple cell, but couldn't get it to work after several attempts.

This game is a real challenge, not easy at all, but that's what makes it so fun. A smart puzzle that really makes you think.
