    I would pay for breadcrumbs ( hints ) on achievements, more than I would pay for in app purchases. The nuke/space mystery seems to have run up a blind alley with no fresh leads to follow. Waiting on the update for new clues not new disease types.

    No need to pay for them - they will be in the update for free!

    I guess we should experience the Neurax Worm first before feed-backing.

    ....BUT i would love a re-design from scratch, re-skinning please, more distinct animation on the different viruses, it will be awesome to have each virus unique... the music and sound effects are great currently but having different sounds for different viruses will be even greater!

    And i wouldn't mind paying 0.99 every 4-6 months for a new pack of 4-6 virus plus achievements to kill the populace with. I think this is entirely reasonable and i fully support what you are going for, even as a hobby.

    Keep up the dirty work.

    Any updates on when 1.3 will be coming out? I think we're running out of ideas to try for Nuke or Space. :(

    I don't bother with achievements, but it occurs to me that North Korea was always rescuing some space station in my game. Anyone tried starting their plague there to see if that gets the "space" achievement?

    Never had the North Korea message, had both strange space debris and historic space mission planned messages ( both white, no alerts )

    Yes I have started in Korea, on unlimited DNA cheat, selected every transmission plus cold and drug 1 & 2. Zero to the world infected in few seconds flat, then devolve and wait - nothing. Rise and repeat several times, still nothing

    I suspect it it not that easy.

    I forgot to say that i had maxed out animal transismission. So 2 in sheep,bird,rat and the middle one.

    As for the nukes. Ndemic (creator) Said My guess With palin was the Closest. But he/she might alsow commeting my guess about trying to replicate the real smallpox viruz. I checked Wikipedia for symptoms for smallpox. So i think it goes like this.

    Infect america With semi leathal, (drugressistense 1+2) get president sick, get insanity, get palin, and now get eather a final blow like smallpox(to simulate an attack) or trying to do all this during a game With the message "neuclear testnings planned"

    And as for IAP. I ofcourse want frekvent uppdates, Thinking of big apps like angry birds or plants vs zombies. Always improving the game, But bout of them alsow have IAP for the hardcore fans. Like the big Eagle in angry birds.
    So i would want frekvent uppdates and à option to buy a IAP where the creator has put in several hrs of work and thinking to bring something special. Like he/she mentioned With total rework of the coding etc.

    Best score methods

    Definately agree with GSJ1977, my best score is against the clock ( disease noticed early ) rather than hiding until all infected.

    Several runs various type of disease.

    Best example obviously is virus.
    Approach 1 is air and water 1 + 2, coughing, cold 1 + 2, drug 1, gene hard 1 + 2, devolve until all infected, then go wild.

    Approach 2 is insect and blood 1 + 2, cold 1 + 2, drug 1, gene hard 1 + 2, virus instable to max, only devolve if lethal too early, check daily infect vs death rates, keep infect above kill or go necrosis.

    Approach 2 scores, on average 2.5 times approach 1

    I like the hard way, I don't mind paying a bit for the effort put in making the game more enjoyable for us, but I have a small sujestion maybe you could add a section where we can look at the achievements we have completed.. Or something like that.. I can't wait for what's to come specially the zombies!!!!!!

    ..maybe your next game could be the opposite of this one...

    My best score came when I infected everyone then killed them as quickly as possible with a parasite. I only used air 1, water 1, drug resist 1, and genetic hardening 1 so I would have more points left when everyone was infected. Then I gave them all the lethal symptoms I could afford and that was that. The cure only got up to about 12% and I scored 70,000+. I did have to use Genetic reshuffle eventually to keep the cure as low as possible though.

    1.3 update

    Just read the 1.3 mutation blog post and it all sounds nice but why must the new mutation be an iAP? I honestly hate them, I've never gotten an iAP or download games that are freemium because little by little the game will become impossible to play without buying an iAP. I've been waiting for a new plague type but now that I read it's an iAP, I'm disappointed :(.

    Really soon guys. I know that is annoying - it always pissed me off when developers use it :)
    I don't want to commit to a day because unexpected things can also happen. Also, I will admit to not being very rigorous with scope creep on this update - adding a lot more stuff in that I had originally planned to - hence the delay

    To be clear - 1.3 update will not be an iAP - the updated events, functionality and everything else etc will be a free update. What will be an IAP is the new Neurax Worm plague type (although it will still be possible to unlock it for free if you are good enough :p)

    Could someone tell me if there's something I'm missing? I've been running through all the plague types on Brutal so as to unlock the 3 Cheat Plague types and I've just beaten the last one - but the 3 Cheat types are still locked.

    I can confirm I have the three black stripes on each of the original plague type symbols on the select screen, as mentioned earlier in the thread. Is there something else I need to do?

    Looking forward to the update!

    Hi, thanks heaps for the offer of help! However, I've since had to reset my iPhone for a separate issue and now that I've reloaded the app, it seems to have triggered the unlock. Thanks though!
