Cunning. Subterfuge. Gosper glider guns.
Conways Game of Life demonstrates the emergence of lifelike patterns from the simplest of mathematical origins. But now, that life must fight for survival!
Seed your population, find patterns for explosive growth, and overcome your rivals before youre swallowed up and disappear.
Game of Life Multiplayer follows the same basic rules as Conways Game of Life, except that now there are up to eight different colours of life all competing for precious space.
Players take turns adding life to their already burgeoning population, building sustainable structures, experimenting, and annihilating the enemy on contact. The more life you create, the more you can add. The more you add, the better your chances of being the one who survives.
