A downloadable game

Life In Captivity Is:

A puzzle game that mixes the rules of Sokoban with the rules of Conway's Game Of Life, forming a curious and challenging hybrid that explores the collision of those two systems through 20 levels.

-A psychedelic audio-visual experience, reacting to and interacting with it's whopping 20 song soundtrack, created by Wonderboi

-A personal solo project hodgepodged together intermittently for over a year, reflective of it's own development and my own warping psyche.

-FREE!


~note: this game has some pretty freaky flashy visuals and audio at times, be aware if you suffer from epilepsy and the like.

Love this game. Brilliant concept, well executed. Great music. Needs a level select screen, though.

This was a pretty amazing concept for a puzzle game. Never have  seen anything like it.

This was awesome. A marvelous re-discovery of these genres through such a simple concept (in hindsight)!

It's as if this new iteration could have came about independently from either sokoban or Conways's without the other ever existing prior.

A cerebral game by nature.
