Reviews

“D-Life's story is presented when players leave the game idle on the menu for a couple of minutes, or on the game's store page for an inquisitive reader. With the expansion of technology, scientists have discovered a new form of electron-based life. The player's task is to take photos of these life forms while fulfilling certain criteria defined by the game.”
9/10 – CUBED3

“Conway’s simulation is at the core of D Life, the latest effort from Mindware’s Mikito Ichikawa (aka Micky G. Albert). Here, a fluid light show flows across the vertically-oriented playfield. The borders optionally display instructions imitating the appearance of a table-top machine, with a hundred-yen sticker helping to suggest the feeling you’re stumbled on an obscure arcade relic. This illusion of D Life being a forgotten game from the ’80s is assisted by 8-bit fonts and a blissful soundtrack from Yuriko Keino, who wrote the music for Super Pac-Man and Dig Dug. Expectedly, earning a spot on the local leaderboard earns a chiptune serenade that is unbearably soothing. Like Namco’s games of old, there are even different tunes for first and second place.”
83/100 – Tech-Gaming

About This Game

"D-Life is the introduction to a new and exciting genre of video games. There is a unique world filled with electron-based life forms and your mission is to take pictures of them.

You can control the electronic life forms by utilizing their inherent mutating ability and the wind. Each electron has a specific color, and your score is determined by how well you can manipulate them to take a great picture.

Although D-Life is unprecedented in its design, you'll soon discover that this game is easy to understand, simple to play, yet also deep and challenging. It can be played with a mouse and keyboard, or a controller.

Yuriko Keino, who has worked on legendary Namco titles such as Dig Dug and XEVIOUS, is in charge of all sounds, from background music to jingles and sound effects!

D-Life is also compatible with the Nano KONTROL2, an electronic musical instrument manufactured by KORG. Make use of its knobs and sliders to control the electron-based life forms for added immersion.

Feel the electronic DNA and take great pictures!
