This Month's Most Viewed Games Tagged '2007, flash, alife' on The Great Games Experiment http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/css/logo.jpg en-us L.A.2 is Kenta Cho's first flash game, an action game based around the theme of Conway's Game of Life.

Like all of Cho's recent games, it's an abstract shooter. You control your ship with the arrow keys, and have to avoid any blue and green squares coming at you. To defend yourself you can release so called gliders by pressing and holding the Z key. Any green squares that are touched by the brown glider will become brown as well (and any they touch will become brown and so on). When you release the Z key, all brown squares explode. The more brown squares there are, the more points you get.

To understand the behaviour of the groups squares, and how they move, a passing knowledge of Conway's Game of Life, and its rules might be helpful.
