# Life

Counting · 30 levels

Plant a few cells; grow the target pattern.

## How to play

- Each generation, a cell with 2 or 3 live neighbours survives and an empty cell with exactly 3 is born. All others die.
- Tap the glowing bed to plant your seeds (pink cells are already there), then press ▶. From level 10 each new layout you run uses one of a few test tubes; re-running the same layout is free.
- Win when the dish matches the gold outlines exactly at the target generation.

Work backwards from the outlines: a gold cell that is empty one step earlier needs exactly 3 live neighbours then. Step one generation at a time to see who is born and who dies.
