D Life

Pretty lovely synesthetic arcade game to which you'll find yourself returning again and again. The idea is following: electron-based lifeforms are presented on the game field, there are 6 different colours of electrons. Sometimes electrons group together to create a life form, sometimes they dissolve into the separate particles. The goal of the game is to "take a photo" of such electron lifeforms while following the specific task. Usually the task involves a condition of having the certain number of colours you need to get into the range of are you "catch". But there are variations to the formula, e.g. when you also need to get specified coloured electrons caught. To catch them, you choose a point on the field and your radius of circle starts enlarging while getting more and more electrons into the range. If you are not satisfied with what you get, you can quickly disable the range and then start again. To make things easier, there is a statistic on the screen that tells you which colours and how many electrons per colour are currently in the range. Though, from my experience, it's better to train the eye and attempt to count the colours by yourself instead of looking at the stat…

A real work of art with great music. Different and unique compared to any game I have played. Another imaginative and refreshing Mindware gem

Great little game/software toy! Inspired by Conway's Game of Life, the game is also reminiscent of Osmos (the attraction/repulsion of lots of small organisms), and while I've never played it myself, the life photography theme also reminds me of what I've seen of Pokemon Snap. It's an engrossing (albeit occasionally frustrating) gameplay flow where you can spend many minutes trying to set things up, but in the end it all depends on the moment of truth where you actually take the picture.

Think the core idea of pokemon snap but faster and you take pictures of colour patterns instead of pokemon. Really simple, really addictive and really relaxing.

D Life is an unusual, but addictive, puzzle game of sorts, mostly played with a single mouse button, where the electronic soundtrack reacts to your actions, and combined with the minimalistic but colourful visuals, results in a strangely appealing and engaging experience. Despite its apparent simplicity, this is one of those games that is easy to play, but hard to master. A worthwhile experience, for those who are looking to try something different.

+ Very simple arcade game, yet very addicting to play + The game captured that Namco arcade game vibes, even with soundtracks + Extremely cheap - This game is ball-bustingly hard - Aside taking picture, those dots will always move, so if you start the game where all those dots scattered around ... God helps you. - Cap lock doesn't work. Now can all of you stop moving around, dots?
