I think it could use some balancing at the beginning, so that you don't immediately end up in a world that your organism can't thrive in. Like, maybe the first few moves are always to a world where the organism won't die, but the rate of growth fluctuates. That way the player can play longer and feel like their decisions to move affect the game more than randomly getting unlucky.  Great concept though, and the simplicity of the graphics are perfect."},{"author_name":"lkr","author_uid":"42013","time":"Sep 7, 2014 @ 9:51pm","epoch":1410126360,"text":"Interesting concept!\r<br\/>I couldn't really tell what worlds would be safe to move to beforehand though. I'd usually move a big chunk to a new world, and quickly move it to another one if it didn't immediately thrive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had fun :)"}],"images":["ld30\/28454-219f84272c562784736232b17a383234.jpg","ld30\/28454-02effa38c8824ec5a94f3496e8380c8f.jpg","ld30\/28454-e169d1ddb96b1f2a9e07f5348a9be2bd.jpg","ld30\/28454-02614cbe0febac54850e47a2cdc10fca.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/uuc89b06qo42yp7iwii2","text":"Java (Windows, Linux, Mac)"},{"url":"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/30xw19pof0xa1pek0dfg","text":"Source (Eclipse projects)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17023","g_author":"28454","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"17052","g_title":"The Life of a Pixel World","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"402","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/28454-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/28454-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/28454-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/28454-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Cultivate a cellular automaton through many strange, collapsing worlds.
