XENO AUTOMATA
A downloadable game
Conway's Game of Life turned into a real time strategy game.
This is a prototype and an exploration of the gameplay possibilities in a world completely governed by generative rules.
The mechanics are all based on variations of Conway's Game of Life. Every cell is affected by it's surroundings, meaning less is more.
Delete cells by holding and dragging Shift + Left click.
Made for the Pirate Software Game Jam 14. The theme was "It's spreading!".

Sick name sicker game. Love it, even tho it is for high level IQ player a dumbass like me still enjoyed. Build this game more and finish it. I wanna see some high IQ player play this game and use its mechanics to full potential. keep up the good work.
Thank you for your kind review!
The game misses explanation and requires previous knowledge of Conway's Game of Life. Even understanding it, it is rather difficult to control in it's current state.
I will get back to this game and see in which direction I want to take it.
