Yes, but games consist not only of mechanics, plot, lore, sound, atmosphere, gravity, controls... If "As above so below" is only related to the mechanics, you will have to remove 90% of the application :)
Fortunately, this is not the case, and people can display the theme in everything, from sound to the plot of the game)
Thanks for the comment and critique! Yes, if the second field is somewhere to the side, the meaning will not change much. But then you will need to fix the camera and turn off the lighting so as not to confuse the player with different rays. If you constantly simplify everything, you will end up with a cellular automaton :)
Big changes will only be in perception. If the player always sees 2 fields it will make the game much easier. Now you need to remember the position of the objects and predict where the pawn will be.
