What's New in NEON Game of Life

3.0.1

July 10, 2026

NEON 3.0.1 — polish & fixes. — Paint now lands exactly under your fingertip, and the loupe shows precisely the cell you're drawing. — The 3D time-stack runs on a new engine: it handles big grids and long histories smoothly, builds in the background, and can be cancelled — no more freezes or crashes. — Rewind the timeline all the way back to the first generation. — Higher top speed — up to 1,000 generations/second with Neon Pro. — Create custom grids up to 10,000×10,000 (with a heads-up when a size may be too big for your device). — Toggle the minimap, stats HUD, and cell trails right on the canvas. — Clearer labels on the top-bar buttons. — Steadier iCloud sync. — The selection toolbar no longer hides behind the stats panel.

Awesome

The only flaw I can think of is that you can’t drag your finger to place live cells

Best CGOL on the App Store!

This game has so much content and no ads which is unheard of!

This is a great game

This is a pretty good game. It has great zoom, and good panning abilities. It also has amazing time lapse (you can adjust it a lot), the best thing of all is the pause button. I do like that you can change the rule set (like Conway’s, Highlife and more). I do request a bigger map (its big enough for various sizes of just not massive ones) at least 2x the size like a 160x160 grid instead of an 80x80 grid. The second best thing is that there is no ads! I do recommend this to anyone who likes Conway’s Game of Life.
