LIFE:anti-viral by whydoidoit

In honour of the late John Conway and his famous game for no players "Life" we've made a tower defence version! Create your own immune systems and test them out with dangerous viruses.

The game includes a complete level designer and particle simulator! Have fun :)

John Conway recently died of Coronavirus. A sad fact, our sympathies are with his family. Please stay safe everyone.

RIP John Conway, he was a mathematics legend. :(
Here is my playtest:

As some other people have mentioned, more help in-game understanding what was going on would be helpful, but otherwise very cool concept and quite fun.
Keep up the great work.
The overall visual style was pretty consistent with itself, the audio may have been a little too harsh for the game but I can hear how you tried to match it to the gameplay.
I think it would have been cool if there was some sort of campaign, just so we can gauge our skill level but other than that, this is a shockingly brilliant game. :clap:
A quick note: I couldn't get this to run in chrome, I had to run it in microsoft edge.
And yeah the plan was for a Clash of Clans style online leaderboard. I got it 1/2 working. So you attack someones defences and they do yours etc. Maybe later!
I'm not sure what I did, but it feels like I hurt somebody/something. So that was an experience. And new experiences are what jam games are all about!
I agree with those who say it would be nice on mobile!
