Auto Grid: Rule Evolution is a unique puzzle game where players control the evolution of a grid through rule changes. In each level, players adjust the rules that govern the grid's behavior to achieve specific objectives, such as filling a certain percentage of cells or creating a stable pattern. The game is based on cellular automata logic, where the grid automatically evolves based on predefined rules. Players need to modify these rules to influence the grid's behavior, reaching the target pattern in the least amount of turns. Game Features: - Control the evolution of the grid by adjusting rules - Randomly generated grid setups for each level - Multiple rules and rule combinations to experiment with - Achieve target patterns and solve puzzles - Achievement system for tracking progress - Auto-generating levels for endless gameplay - High replayability with evolving rule dynamics This game is about observing how changes to rules affect the grid, planning strategy, and achieving the goal under various conditions.
