Chill music works wonders for improving the player's experience for these kind of games. You might want to consider adding some. I like the campaign and sandbox mode. Definitely something fun to play around with.

It was nice to play with to create patterns

This was interesting. The campaign levels were too easy and you did not really need to place them very accurately. Good idea, good work.

I think I enjoyed playing with it to find interesting patterns more than I did trying to complete the tasks. I did succeed but I don't think there was a feature to signal a win because I didn't get a notification for anything. But I really liked seeing all the colors spiral and stuff. :)

Pretty fun. Reminded me of old PC games that had you simulate organisms with ASCII. This feels like more of a science project than an outright game, but it was fun to fiddle with. Thanks for sharing!

Good job!

Well played, buddy! I just gave your game a rating. Why not give my game a shot and rate it as well?

I got the hang of it! I completed all the campaign challenges and then just made random dancing color patterns @_@ It was a lot of fun!

Nice concept, creates some pleasing repeating patterns!

Would be nice if the campaign let you know when you beat a level. otherwise, great little puzzler!
