About this game
Conway's Life for Game Boy is a 2018 Game Boy homebrew game by NovaSquirrel.
This is an implementation of the famous Conway's Game of Life, for Game Boy. On Game Boy Color it allows you to enable the double speed mode, but it should be pretty fast as-is! The 64x64 grid mode here doesn't work but everything else does. It's open source!
