So I won the game before I had actually realized the rule that you need 1-2 neighbours for a cell to survive. I played it again afterwards but didn't feel like planning more made me play better :) Anyway: Good job!"},{"author_name":"evilseanbot","author_uid":"7902","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 6:51am","epoch":1346309160,"text":"The game wont respond to my clicking on any of the tiles.

I survived the natural selection more than one time! xD\r<br\/>I just think was maybe too easy, I think I was more fast than the IA, I don't know but, perhaps if the game have some way to make the player get the cells more slowly will be good?
