Nice relaxing game. Great job!

Hey! Thanks for the last minute review! I appreciate it!

LOL I love your intro logo and sound effect!

Interesting, I've never seen Conway's Game of Life done like this. Once I switched perspective, it very much reminded me of Minecraft.

Nice to see another simulation - that's what I ended up doing too, of sorts, though it was originally meant to be a game!

Well done! Really nice graphics, by the way! Lovely relaxing atmosphere.

Interesting to use Game of Life like that. The animations are nice. Relaxing simulation.

Developer

Thanks! I really appreciate that you gave it a look.

Liked the idea. Couldn't really figure out how my world pieces were able to be placed but liked the simulation.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted(+1)

Nice simulator. It is interesting. I think maybe some rules as to how the pieces interact with each other would be nice. That way we could have some agency in setting it up. Right now all I did is pick randomly and place randomly and see what the outcome is. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! You're right. I'll get some explaination up there later and dial in the interactions a little more. I'm hoping I can add a piece so, the player can click and monitor an animal or a plant.

Interesting take on Conway's Game of Life.  I've seen it before, but never done like this.  It didn't run well on my browser, but running on Windows 11 Pro, it ran fine in full screen.  

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, I think the speed gets bogged when there's a lot of animals going all at once and it's rendering the visual. Glad you got it working on a platform.

Peaceful game, interesting premise. I'd have to spend more time to try and figure out how things interact with each other, because I honestly just placed things randomly. At least they lived till 96. Good job on the game

Developer

Thanks. I'll have some work to do explaining the interactions - and fine tuning them, too. It gets to be mostly chance, though I'm pretty sure, your best bet is placing plants and animals together.

Peaceful games, relaxing. The fullscreen doesn't work correctly though. 

Nice done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking it out. Do you mind letting me know - is it that it doesn't expand fully for full screen, or is it that the UI isn't working in fullscreen, or both?

Submitted

It doesn't expand, and it shows only a portion of the game

Submitted(+1)

Liked the peaceful vibe of the game :D

Developer

Thanks a lot!

It turned out to be a nice simulator. It was interesting to study game mechanics.
Thank you!

Cool Idea nice and peaceful. Other than the full screen not working I had fun. 

Developer

Glad you liked it. Thanks!

The game is nice and cozy and has a really cool concept. The game's cover image was also really cute. I did encounter a few bugs though. The x button in the settings only worked in fullscreen. The size of the game screen doesn’t change when put into fullscreen. Otherwise a really nice game.

Developer

Good catch on the button. I'll have to look at it more. It still works, but it doesn't quite cover the whole x for some reason. Love when things don't work as they should!
