I was really frustrated by the theme, so I decided to make a little game experiment. This game is about a world, that generates as an life-like cellular automaton. You can customize the automaton rule by yourself.

The grass tiles are the living cells. Each automaton step takes 1 second. Avoid falling into the void, avoid enemies (turrets). Some powerup-boxes contain level-generator elements. The goal of the game is simple: survive for as long as you can.

Nice! Good implementation of cellular automata, although many levels and set of rules make it very difficult and other very easy, I think if you balance it, it could be an interesting game.
Good job!

Sorry guys, it's too frustrating and not fun at all. Yeah maybe level generation is innovative but I have tried to play for 5 mins and couldn't even understand what could i do in game and die instantly. Sometimes generator instantiate your tank on only one distant tile and you couldn't do anything and just die. So something with it, your game designer failed to do his work
