The core gameplay revolves around players taking turns, much like in chess. With each move, you deploy up to 100 of your own pixel packets onto a 600x600 matchfield.

These pixels, along with those of your opponent, then develop automatically based on the underlying cellular automaton rules. The objective is to outmaneuver your opponent through strategic placement and observation of these evolving populations.

The freedom to deploy every single cell or pixel packet wherever you desire adds a deep layer of strategic possibility.
