Okay, this is genius, very original, and I am so bad at it. But I was hooked anyway. Take my stars you brilliant person you!

Is this based on an existing board game mechanic , or something completely original? It reminds me of the game of life, with rules about how many cells can be alive and what causes a cell to self destruct, but it's very different from even that. My mind is blown.

hey, thanks so much for the feedback, i'm happy you're enjoying this!
i came up with myself but i kind of had the game of life in mind - i was always fascinated with the amount of depth it provides with such a limited ruleset and wondered if i could make an interesting game out of it. there's not a lot here obviously but  i think expanding on the idea might lead to interesting game in the future.
i'll happily check your game out!

I think depth and complexity often go hand in hand. In trying to make a game more deep, it usually becomes more complex too. The worst case scenario is a game that's super complex but has no depth. But I think you've got the opposite of that, where the rules are very simple and yet you've still got all this depth. In my mind that's a perfect mechanic for a puzzle game.
