Yawnoc

Yawnoc is about fighting cellular-automaton machines that have invaded an ammunition-filled forest. You use weapons, abilities and upgrades to destroy them before they take over. The machines follow rules from Conway's Game of Life and other cellular automata, and attacking carelessly can create a creature that kills you. Learning each ruleset helps you deal with the machines in different areas.

Fight the machines

As you progress through the forest, enemies begin following different cellular-automata rulesets, including Conway's Game of Life, Brian's Brain and LowDeath. Their behavior changes with the rules they follow, so you can learn each algorithm to find ways to eliminate machines in every area.

Weapons and upgrades

Yawnoc offers a wide range of weapons and upgrades. Each weapon behaves differently and has abilities suited to different enemy types and combat styles. You can discover over 50 upgrades.

Enchant your weapons

You can permanently improve weapons with enchants, with thousands of possible enchantment combinations. Enchantments persist between runs and can be improved. Examples include a sniper that calls down lightning strikes, a sword that grants super speed and a shotgun that raises an army of centipedes.

Team up with locals

You can join forces with the forest's residents, who are eager to help exterminate the machines and increase your firepower.
