STP: Petri Review
STP: "Matthew Gillingham’s Petri is one of the more striking budget games we’ve encountered recently; not many App Store offerings dwell this completely in abstraction. At the moment, however, it’s nothing more than a good start.
Petri is sort of a turbocharged Conway’s Game of Life, the rudimentary cellular simulation that every beginning computer science student programs sooner or later. Colors ebb and flow across the screen, fighting for territory in the virtual petri dish. As the scientist-God lording over the little battlefield, you can swipe your finger around to kill off the simulated fauna, or double-tap to plant a new random culture under your touch. The objective on each level is to help a particular color along to final victory."
