10 Second Germification

The game is a variant of Conway’s Game of Life, where you can try and win victory for your germs (the pinky/purple dudes). Its a turn based game, where you can move your units (Queen, Farmer and Slimer) around via mouse (click on the unit and then where you want to go), Queens and Farmers can settle down and then breed germs and try to influence the rules of Game of Life. Queens breed 8 purple germs, whereas farms breed some red, green or blue germs (for food).

Every 10 seconds a breed cycle occurs, whereas the board evolves every second.

Thats pretty much all there is to it, but its quite hypotic and damn hard to win (there is no formal win condition, just controlling most of the board).

I pretty much sure that no-one will know how to play it, its more of a Game Of Life Toy than a game but anyway its done and submitted!

A quick summary I did for a friend was pretty much

“You start with a queen, settle her down (click on her and menu will appear to the right) when she has enough food, breed farmers or slimers or another queen see if you can make it more purple than red, green or blue”
