you are using unity why not post a web player version?

It was fun for the whole 1 minute it lasted but I agree with FireHawkSoftware.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll pop one up as soon as I get home :)

Good start! Here're my thoughts:
1. Game of life itself is very beautiful when you watch it evolving and in your game you don't give player a chance to get an overall picture of it. I think a minimap could have been a very good addition both to playability and fun.
2. I think making it a bit faster could have made it more fun. Yet you should make cube destroyable in a smaller amount of time too.
Hope this helps )

I made score of 9 and I didnt understand the game until i read the description, now I make 0
xD
How do you generate the infinite terrain? ,can you use a spline or sin()?

I'm a big fan of the game of life, so I was familiar enough with the mechanics to actually work this. It's fun but it could've used an over the top map in one of the corners to help the player understand the patterns he's seeing.
