Community Insight:
Lit no problems we just dont like how the game looks.
This game is pretty good. Its like a plague ink but not one dollar free totally free. We love like the different stuff that has like the different viruses and how you have to evolve just like in plague ink. Im just gonna say its a offbrand version of ink, but its pretty good.
Id like the game if it has no ads, but still its good.
The game is very interesting and is fun.
Es buen juego se lo recomendar a mis amigos:).
We absolutely love this game! We need more pathogens Ive ran through parasite so many time already and Im ready for whats next!!! Awesome game keep up the good work! So excited for whats next.
Super fun even though Im nine and no nothing of these words.
We love how you did the black plague and other plague diseases.
Best game if you cant buy plague inc.
The only reason we love this app is because of its science in it.
Its fun, just here waiting for the next update.
This game is that #amazing style.
In this game there are no forced ads and is extremely fun.
Its like plague ink, but free even though it doesnt have the mechanics where we can like. Have a free room. It feels like ink, but a little low quality.
We think a good opportunity to add it where the world starts to realize there is a plague running rampant and they tried to cure it and you have to fight the cure.
Love it. Totally get ads gotta make money for effort but way too often forced to watch. But in all love the game ended up going ad free. Then shortly after finished all modes and now nothing to do. Hopefully not money wasted.
Yeah, its just really good. Just try it.
We been playing this game for awhile we love it a lot even though we got to the host one we cant wait for the update plz keep adding stuff to this game if you want know what the mutation is going to do you can just read them and decide if you want upgrade them or not.
We love the game but we see no where to save the game progress and continue on another device. Thats a shame.
The game is great, but Im still on the first pathogen of the game from it being so slow. We have no problem with getting the necessary amount of coins, its the red points we cant get enough of and it just slows the game down so much.
Love the game its clearly understood and fun play but there comes a point where everything just halts and if we cant find a solution we will just delete the game. Im at a point where everything is upgraded and maxed out but pathogen just wont advance at all, stuck at 87% when we open the game the spread counts down to zero with no movement no advancement so note Im playing a game that has nothing to do but open and close it.
Its fun game we just like Plague Inc better.
We believe there are too many forced ads, what we see some games do is that they make ads appear on the side and we personally prefer that.
We like it, but we dont know how to make another virus. Im confused on that.
This is a good game. However, it would be nice if a certain addition could be added. See, there are quite a few places on the map where it is either basically impossible or extremely difficult to pinpoint a specific location (we.e. Florida, Armenia/Georgia, Switzerland, et al.), & once a place has been selected, it cannot be undone, wherefore we make this suggestion: Make the map to where you can zoom in alot. Had it not been for this, it mightve been 5/5 stars. Please make the map to where people can zoom in. Thanks in advance! Also please do NOT forget to reveal the 4th pathogen.
Its a good and intriguing game but we dont really like that its a copy of Plauge Inc.
Ive waited over four months for the new pathogen to be released and it still hasnt. We want to rate this game higher because we love it but when is the updating coming.
Early on, at least, the prices for mutations are insane and it made us quit.
Fun strategy game, but it doesnt work correctly. Im on the second level. It froze when we were at 99% and we had to start infecting the population all over again and now Im completely stuck at 16.6%. Keeps counting down the infectivity to 0 no matter what we do.
The game overall is great and we really enjoy it. However, theres an issue with there being too many ads just popping up in the middle of gameplay.
3 star doesnt save progress after uninstall.
The game is good, fun but our progress rest from the second pathogen to the first and All our money with it. Plus we now have restarted but we are stuck on 3.99 with no progress at all. Only gaining 3000 infected like every month or so in game.
Have to keep game on and focused to progress kills the battery doing so. Similar to a website so really no point in downloading an app. Not very fun/challenging.
We like the game but the ads destroy it. Got to 99.9 percent multiple times for just the second one so far and ads bring us back down the lowest so far being 63% please slow down on them.
Its a fun game, but within 10 minutes of play Ive had 20+ ads pop up way too excessive.
Yall made a great game but its over way too fast. Can yall at least make it to where we can restart from the beginning until you add more pathogens.
Great game, graphics are great, gameplay is great. However, yall need to make an option to be able to start over with the pathogens. But over all the game is fun.
Why does the third virus keep repeating and not moving onto the next? We literally have done the third virus 4 times just to check. Was a fun boredom game until after 2 hours where you can't progress anymore.
We think you should be fighting the virus, not spreading it. Also, we think you should make a second version where you fight the virus.
The game is pretty cool, but if you dont buy the ad blocker, they are super annoying. Just dont see spending five bucks to get rid of the ads. Needless to say. Deleting the game because of that.
Great graphics but poor game play. Billions of ads and glitches. Waste of time playing.
Good game but so many ads that it makes you want to stop playing.
The game itself is fun. But the ads are absolutely horrible. Im talking about an ad every minute. Not exaggerating. Game devs are ruing a fun game by forcing to many ads.
This is a pretty good game. The amount of ads and the length of each of them is crazy. Not to mention it seems that while the ad is playing the game in the background doesnt stop.
The game itself is great! But there are an absolutely ridiculous amount of ads. You can opt for an ad for extras, which is more than enough since you cant play without them. But then to have random ads pop up when you click anything is just AWFUL, EXHAUSTING & LAME. Its unfortunate.
Cool game but the ads are obnoxious. They pop up every 5 minutes.
Dommage les descriptions sont crites trop petit du coup c pas jouable.
Seems like its pay to progress and we cannot restart either. Disappointing.
To much clicking but not seeing any change.
