I like the game but it crashes randomly on my ipod touch. It's annoying to get an hour in and crash and lose everything and you can't even save without quitting I think I'll stop playing til this gets fixed.
What i love to see in future updates: 1) More news! The news at the start is hilarious! BLANKBOOK... Perhaps you can add Blankbook IPO failed... LOL! 2) OpenFeint or Game Centre is not the best place for achievements. Can we have achievements stored in the game directly? Also I haven't figure out how to get those weird Nuke achievements, perhaps some guide lines? 3) So far those uber-cool mutations are possible to be linked together. How about having some "abilities" requirement, i.e. to get this symptom, you must possess certain abilities (e.g. cold resistance for SARs, etc). 4) Please give us more symptoms, more diseases, more ways to kill those pesky humans! Wahahahaha.... 5) Make the rest of the virus types available for play in Cheat Mode, e.g. fungus, etc as they have slightly different abilities. 6) Longer names allowed for diseases.... GREAT GAME!
Check your "DATA" tab at the right lower corner. Is every country infected? Usually you will received during the game a notification about there are no more healthy humans left in the world. Did you receive this? If not, it may be a sign that some where, in some country, there are some healthy people left while the infected has all died before infecting the healthy humans. Try this simple guide (will take some time): Improve trasmission to level 1 for almost all, Wait and collect DNA points Improve a few abilities if you like Wait till you got the message "there are no healthy humans left) You should save up at least 30-40 points or more, Devolve all transmission (get back 2 pts each) Evolve the symptoms you like which will kill quickly, e.g. the right lower one, to max, Enjoy! Cure will not be possible before they die. Use your resistance (lower cure) only when cure is reaching quite a high percentage say 70% etc.
I second that, there is a sense of satisfaction to see your symptoms causing an effect on the population! Projectile Vomit!
Sorry I've been a bit quiet recently - been hard at work on update 1.2 but I am pleased to say that it has now been submitted to Apple and should be available soon. https://twitter.com/NdemicCreations/status/211452613990952961 Highlights are new events (global warming, terrorism etc) massive performance increases, iCloud sync and more. I've gone through all the suggestions etc in the thread and some of them made update 1.2 and others have been added onto the list for future updates instead. Please keep your thoughts coming!
I really enkoy this game. But i noticed one small thing, the messagebar says something about the crimecourt in hague. Well i live in this city and its not called "Hague" but "The Hague". Well, thats all i have to complain about, great game and i'm looking forward to the updates!
how the heck do you win this game i killed everyone and then the game ended but i didnt unlock the next virus how does this work? am i doing it wrong?
Made it to the Fungus stage, and have a couple of thoughts... I hate progression unlocks in games like this. I've played/restarted well over a dozen Fungus games now and the frustration is mounting. Being able to try something different and come back to this later would be most welcome. The world map needs to be lowered, or the news ticker/options button/calendar moved to the bottom of the screen. Sure you can play through the ticker if necessary, but why cover up the playing area at the top of the screen while leaving a useless strip of ocean and Antarctica open at the bottom? Otherwise an interesting and entertaining game. Hard to say it's "fun" when I'm wiping out humanity, but it's worth the price of admission for sure.
Random Questions Is there any reason not to buy this game? I wanna get it but my gut keeps telling me no. I get this weird feeling later in the future I'll regret buying the game, not cuz I don't like it but because of the game's plot. My other question, is it compatible with iOS 5.1.1, iPod Touch 4, Jailbroken?
I'm running it on an iPhone 4, jailbroken iOS 5.1.1. I've had it shut down once due to low memory issues, so that may be an issue, but besides that, I don't see any reason for it not to work in an iTouch 4. I think you should get the game. There really isn't much of a plot. It's pretty game-y and impersonal, although it does get a *little* graphic with some of the symptom descriptions. But you're basically just watching a map turn red, it doesn't feel particularly wrong until I start trying to explain the game to my siblings. There really isn't a plot at all, besides you being a particularly malevolent, sentient microbe.
I didnt but i have problems with crashing... I have to save it all the time ;/ It needs a bug fixing update.
It does this to me, sometimes, and I have to twiddle my fingers for a while while my phone remembers how to call up the keyboard.
I have a few ideas for future updates 1) Be a scientist mode - You are scientist and creator of your virus in one person - you can confuse doctors in creating wrong "parts" of cure, say that it can never be lethal to media and make doctors work on to not be so contagious (because you simply don't need it f.e. in late game when everyone is infected) This should bring new strategy. You should slow cure at start but other people will start to ignore you sooner or be serious how to cure and then mid-late game you should slow it down by "wrong" decisions 2) MULTIPLAYER: Creator of virus VS doctor (+ goverment mode) - We know what can creator do. As a doctor you can decide from X decisions, which parts (symptoms) of cure will humans try to cure first (coughing,...). You should have another tree with symptoms and if you will buy right symptom (that is in cure as well) - founding of cure will speed up. If you are successful (or virus becomes to be lethal), states will give you more money for cure. You can make goverment to install filters in planes/ships, to close bouders and so on - we can see many actions of states in this version. I have lots of ideas but I forgot them - maybe I will post later
Your ideas are good ones but can be useful creating "Plague 2". I don't think that multiplayer would be good for this kind of game. It could be hard to make both sides of conflict at this same level. I mean one would win easier etc...
I originally tweeted to you about this with my username @iKrill in twitter. The issue was when I first installed the game, iOS beleived to still be in portrait mode, so it was showing achievements as in portrait mode and also notification center would only come up from left to right (if button is to the right). I'm not sure if it was the crashing or when I resprung
