Thanks for playing and thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you could make it through all 25.
I felt ok covering up the number of generations because it was redundant with the timeline at the bottom, but I should have kept all the information on screen!
I was worried 24 would be too hard without 23, and so I deferred to Too Easy over Too Hard. I'd rather the player have a victory lap at the end to celebrate some exciting Game of Life patterns. Maybe I'll rebalance it after the jam with your comments in mind!
