I enjoyed this, Conways is fun and mixing it into an idler is a neat concept. Here’s some feedback:
- Reset also resetting my upgrades is counter-intuitive and senseless. Make it just reset the grid
- The ticks are a bit slow even at higher upgrades, I made some cool ships I want to see them moving
- It would be really cool to have more upgrade types
- The auto-spawner was kind of just annoying, it kept ruining my patterns and I didn’t find it helpful, it’s maybe best for idling, but it would maybe be helpful if it spawned useful patterns.
- It would be really helpful if I could see the patterns I unlocked to re-use them (scope creep: let me paste them in)
- When I click and drag, it would be nice if it kept the “mode” I was in, so that if I click a living cell first, it only erases living cells until I release the mouse
- I went afk for a bit and it was frozen when I got back, and I’d lost all my progress 😭
