I don't know if it was intended, but I feel like I cheesed many levels exploiting that lone units don't disappear. For example the penultimate level is easily solved like this (spoilers):
It's based on Game of Life but it uses a different set of rules. You can find details about a ruleset similar to this here: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/OCA:3-4_Life
In the bottom-right corner of the game, there is a question mark. If you put your cursor over it, it shows a representation of the rules. Or are you saying that you saw that and didn't understand it?
...wait, that's how you make a diagonal glider? i found the horizontal glider quickly, and i found the almost-square part of the diagonal glider (which makes a glider-esque oscillator on its own) so many times and tried so many variations on it, but apparently i didn't try that... ;v;

Okay so a little thing I've noticed is that the rules are NOT the same as John Conway's Game of Life.
Neat little game as always ! I don’t understand how these are not disappearing
Thanks! The rules have a little detail where units that are completely alone stay around. It's not really consequential in any way, though.

Yeah, they're a little different. Check the question mark in the corner for details.
i dont understand that

i don't understand the rules :<
I didn't understand it
i decided to figure out the rules myself by making patterns with each possible survival and birth condition.
then i clicked the ?
No. I refuse to play Hempuli's game of life. 10/10 though.
I am sorry for the people using touch pads

THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW I CAN USE THIS IN EVERY LEVEL
nope
Sorry? TIM IS ME

Why grid rules when life rules do trick?
Don't know if it's intentional or not, but you can place a cell next to a skull so long as it dies on turn one and it will not turn into a skull

who solved this?
you can solve it with the gliders people posted about a few comments down! also, someone posted a walkthrough above ^^

Horizontal glider
or more compact
...wait, that's how you make a diagonal glider? i found the horizontal glider quickly, and i found the almost-square part of the diagonal glider (which makes a glider-esque oscillator on its own) so many times and tried so many variations on it, but apparently i didn't try that... ;v;
What are you sorry for?
whuh
Is this the real life?
It might be just fantasy
caught in a puzzle, no escape from thinking
or just Conway's?
Oh that's a solid joke
I was actually a little disappointed when I figured out it wasn't conway's game of life. The glider strat doesn't work :(
I didn't know it beforehand but there is actually a Game of Life wiki page for (almost) this exact ruleset: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/OCA:3-4_Life
You can find gliders for this setup there :)
but this works in conways game of life
