Automaton Diver
About
1D cellular automata have always fascinated me. Complex patterns and stark, alien worlds emerging from the simplest of rules. In this minimalist platformer, you can now immerse yourself in these chaotic cellscapes as the pluckiest pixel that ever was: the Automaton Diver!
- Play Story Mode to dive through a curated set of bizarre automata. You might find a twist at the bottom!
- Check out Arcade Mode to set your own parameters and explore freely.
- Use Bomb, Build, and Slow abilities to navigate tough regions—press C to see the controls.
- Enjoy some procedurally generated "music"!
I'm sorry about the long load times, by the way. I could have made it better optimized but I didn't feel like it.
