Sad to rate this negative. The idea and concept are great. The execution needs work but is overall fun. But the content is too low. In my 1 hour playtime i finished 4 maps of like 9 or so. Unlike other Survivor-like games, here you dont have endless enemy cells to play with. They go extinct and once you reached the main goal of the map, you win and thats it. This can take like 10 minutes or so per map. The problem here by design is, that any map is too small and doesnt fill up with new cell types. If this was more like an endless body type of design, where you never run out of opponents, space and such, this would be great. Theres other things that cause problems by design. You generate a swarm, but they are often worse than your opponents. They take your food and thus your XP and they are aggressive at that. You kill an enemy to eat its remains? Tough luck, you get bumped away from its corpse while the others around you eat what you should get. Set that aside, when you cell dies, you get another one, but you lose your abilities and perks, rendering your previous work of eating and gaining levels pointless besides generating more cells for your swarm, which will eat your food an…1 found this helpful
Very addicting, but unfortunately very short. Was able to beat the game in around 4 hours of game-play. I would only be able to recommend it if it had more to it like achievements or a long-play mode to make it feel like a "fuller" experience.1 found this helpful
Fun game. It is a repetitive timewaster to be transparent. For $10 it is a bit overpriced for content/time value.1 found this helpful
Thoroughly enjoyed it. It took six hours to complete, and I think it will take another few hours to unlock everything. What is this game: If you think of the first stage of spore this is basically a more simplified version of that, there are upgrades for you to get and a levelling system, you dont physically add those upgrades its all under the hood (ie increased speed, etc). I hope the developer adds more, because it was a fun little game to play free from all the slop currently out there. And I want to play it more which means I want more upgrades etc.1 found this helpful
Don't buy. Game keeps running but gives you an unplayable blackscreen every few minutes. Developer abandonned it.
Was a fun game. It no longer works, just constant crashes
