ok! it took me a while to understand, but when it clicked i think its a really great puzzler! with more push on visual queues and overall design- you can get a simpler ways to communicate the rules of the game. but you have something soild, and would love to you expand on this! great job~!

(John Conway's game of life + ricochet robots) * (Teleporting Biscut + ostanton + shtanton) = Depths of the Mind. Very fun game, took a bit to grasp but we're on our way, and man -- lots of levels. Could use a printed level counter so we can commiserate on the hard levels.

A great puzzle game. Hard to make sense of at times, but I'm glad I stuck with it until the end. Solving (what I assume is) the last puzzle was satisfying. The mechanics could probably be tutorialised a little better, and I would like some SFX for specific actions/interactions, but I really enjoyed the puzzle design and overall experience of playing the game. Thanks for sharing.

Good, music, difficult puzzle but very nice. As somebody else mentioned love the fact that is a bit like the game of life. I'll let my wife play it as I am sure that she will get hooked to this as she is always playing all puzzle games that comes on her hands.

Good job!

This is one of those games that is hard to grasp at first but then it clicks how it works.

I agree with the hard to grasp, but really good once you get going. Really interesting idea. Thanks for making games and sharing!

Cool puzzle game! I think I beat it(?) (The next level didn't work even though it was green so I assume that was the final level). Nice music and cool use of mechanics

Really nice puzzle game and a cool original concept. It was a bit hard to grasp and I defo needed to reread the instructions again once I'd seen it in action to actually figure out what was happening. A couple of the levels I think I beat out of pure luck but it was really satisfying figuring out and really solving some of the trickier ones. Overall a really good job!
