About This Game

In Changes you solve puzzles by pushing cells to reshape the level and reveal latent possibilities. Each level takes place on a grid of cells which follow three rules: cells are born, die, or survive based on how many living cells neighbor them. All the puzzles emerge from these three rules which come together to tell stories about the transformations caused by life and death. Some are tragic, others epic, and a few are pretty cute.



Each of the puzzles showcases unique and surprising qualities of the system, but they are also fun playgrounds to experiment and discover on your own. Even failure can produce beautiful results in Changes.

  • Dynamic music created by your movement and the birth and death of cells.
  • The undo system lets you rewind time to fix mistakes or replay a chain reaction.
  • Discover how beautiful shapes emerge from simple rules across over 100 levels.
  • A world decorated with poems, bits of history, and developer commentary.
  • There are no gated areas or hidden levels. The game will never hide itself from you..
  • 8 exhibits which each explore themes like identity, conflict, and sacrifice.
  • Inspired by John Conway's Game of Life.

Got this game the first week it was out, and I'm really enjoying it so far! If I had to describe it succinctly, I would say "challenging and relaxing at the same time", which is difficult to pull off! The music combined with the surreal visuals give it a serene and engrossing quality, yet the puzzles are very challenging so it feels really satisfying to solve them! This game is good for being able to just block out the outside world and get lost in this colony of living cells and solving the puzzles to set everything right! I also really liked all the esoteric text blurbs about the cells and the original John Conway game. They make me reflect and wonder what these cells are really like. I also really like the poetry and quotes that come up in some of the text cells, they really tie in with the themes of the game, and make it a more all-encompassing artistic experience! That kind of depth is greatly appreciated! [b]TL;DR[/b] I definitely recommend picking this game up if you like pu...

disclosure: i did some pre-release playtesting on this game, and i know the developers personally i should note that i haven't finished this game at time of review (there's lots more here than what i've played), but i want to call some attention to this game as it could really use more eyes as the description states, the game is inspired by Conway's Game of Life, something i wasn't familiar with before being introduced to this game, and introducing a player piece to that system produces a lot of curious results. solving puzzles inside of these rules creates a kind of science, where the player learns to use specific techniques for movement, destruction, and creation to solve the problem. it feels like trying to control chaos, and even the smallest mistake can often result in your attempt literally blowing up in front of you which brings me to the next point of curiosity: solving a puzzle in this game is just as satisfying and encouraging as any other puzzle game known for its challen...
