About Cell Machine
Cell Machine appeared at a 2020 game jam. A grid holds every cell. Some send out new units. Others push neighbors across the board. Joining cells produce new behavior. All rules start very basic. Every session shifts into a surprise puzzle.
The game pulls ideas from life simulations like Conway’s game. Rigid patterns appear and then break into chaos. Players work to destroy an opponent cell. Networks grow and spin out of control. Each pattern leads to its own surprises.
Players start by placing the first cells on a blank grid. A single click launches the run without further input. The simulation demonstrates how cells interact over time. This mix of setup and chaos keeps the focus tight. Strategy meets unexpected results in every session.
