## What is NEON LIFE // PROTOCOL?

NEON LIFE // PROTOCOL turns Conway's Game of Life into a head-to-head
strategy game. You command the cyan colony; a magenta AI swarm commands
the other. Whoever's cells dominate the board when the dust settles wins.

HOW IT PLAYS

Deploy phase: spend energy to stamp classic Life patterns near your own
cells. BLOCK never dies and holds a node forever. GLIDER and LWSS crawl
across the board on their own. R-PENT drops in as a controlled explosion
of chaos. You can also purge enemy cells within range - that costs energy
too.

Evolution phase: run 8 generations of real Conway's Game of Life with one
tap. The twist that decides every match: newborn cells inherit the color
of the majority among their three parent cells. A numbers advantage snowballs
along the front line - a good placement might not pay off for several
generations.

Energy nodes: five golden rings are scattered across the map. Whichever
side has more cells nearby controls the node and earns bonus energy every
round. Fight for the nodes, or fight for raw numbers - every match forces
the choice.

Win by wiping out the enemy colony, or by leading in population after
20 rounds.

LOOK AND SOUND

A genuine neon aesthetic - bloom, scanlines, vignette, particle bursts
where the two colors collide - scored with an original synthwave
soundtrack composed for the game.

ABOUT PRICING

Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No data collection. No
internet connection required - play a full match offline, start to finish.

Whether you love the Game of Life for its mathematical elegance or just
want a clean, opinionated turn-based strategy game, NEON LIFE // PROTOCOL
is worth a look.
