How do you exit this POS
Open the game and now can find a way to close it. No exit button no clear way of quitting. That alone make it a pain
Horrible, disgusting scam of a game
DO NOT BUY THIS. I’m only rating this 5 stars so whoever sees this can save their money. Sure, you might find the first few levels fun but when you reach parasite the game jsut becomes completely rigged and unplayable so that every time you play parasite you lose. Don’t waste your money on this wretched scam.
He
It not letting me install
Subscriptions
I didn’t know that the things you buy are a subscription to pay for. I thought it was a one time thing. Anything you buy is a subscription.
Greed kills all
This game used to be a generational hit it was known across the App Store as the go to virus game however now it has become increasingly dated and stuck in the past
Was good like 10 years ago
The same game it was ages ago, except now everything is micro transactions. I dare say you could spend a days wage to buy it all.
This game is terrible at its tips
The tips don’t even work
Stole my money
DONT BUY ADD ONS never give me my 3 dollar virus expansion pack.
Good game but Whont let me unlock anything
I try to buy cheers and it seas anther famly never has already bit this you git it for free and then it gives me error JUST LET ME GIVE YOU MONY
Trash Game
Basically the whole resistance to cure mutation is a scam because no matter how many mutations you get you still get 1% tick a second which makes no sense terrible game dont play this save your time
Impossible to play
Every time I try playing on a mode that’s normal or higher, when I infect more than a billion people, the amount of dna points I get drops to 0 every time, and it’s impossible beat the cure because I can upgrade anything
Do NOT buy this game.
If you’re reading this, I will warn you. If you buy this game, expect to spend money on it. It is literally impossible to get past the 3rd disease, no matter how hard you’d try. I played it for the past week, and every time I infect everyone the cure gets made because you’ll run out of points, and the disease almost never mutates at that point. I tried doing where I focused on transmitting my disease with no symptoms, but then it began to be cured. Ran out of points trying to quickly outrun the cure but it ended up me just prolonging the inevitable. Do NOT buy this game, I promise you it’s not worth the money and time.
this game is terrible
i bought someone to help me cure a plaqe and i tryed to play her and it said i had to buy him again
Fun
I like all the game modes
Needs to be better
This game is fun until you realize that you can never actually win. It is impossible if you get the whole world infected then the cure just comes out immediately even if it’s at 50% and it starts curing people it doesn’t even give you enough time to even win this game definitely needs improvement. You should at least let people win the first game for the plague and then you and then make it harder for the rest of the rounds to win not impossible. This is truly one of those games that I pay for thinking it would be fun and then end up thinking I need a refund for this.
Pay to play
Game is fun but when I use money to buy a app I shouldn’t have to spend more money in the app to play most of the game
I HARE IT
it’s horrible i got so close and then the cure got real ears and started curing and i HATE IT IT SUCKS
Fungus
The game is amazing but the fungus mode completely stops you from progressing further in the game. If your disease exists for one microsecond, the entire world goes full force on a cure and wipes out your disease in less than 3 years. And no, it’s not just me, I’ve tried every technique, started in almost every country, and just can’t win
