Was slightly confused at first but I got it all figured out the second game, very well executed concept that I very much enjoyed, some music would have been nice though.

Good job! :)

Pretty complex for a jam game, if not a tad confusing. Once I got the hang of it I was easily able to win, but I still didn't understand some of the mechanics. Cute sprites, and I like that it's turn-based. Overall pretty fun!

This is a really interesting game, it kinda reminded me of the "game of life" with the way that adjacent cells would influence each other. Simple graphics made it easy to understand, and I appreciate that there was indicators for what would happen next turn.
