Infect the World by Cyboot

[raw]
made by Cyboot for LD25 (COMPO)

Uhhh, that was intense...

Its kind of a RTS with lot of clicking and leveling-up. But its hard to describe so just try it :)

# Disclaimer for Sourcecode:
You know 48h are a short time. So there are some dirty dirty hacks in it, like really really dirty. How dirty? Well if I would read some parts of the code I would want to punch the programmer right into the face ;)

Neat concept, reminded me a lot of eufloria, I'm not sure if there is a lose condition, but got cured pretty early

This was pretty good although I totally suck at it. :)

Cool game. The last level is a bit hard thought! :)

Ooh I actually found the difficulty to be a bit on the easy side, but had fun.

Nice. Reminded me of Galcon a bit!

Wow! Very cool game. I liked almost everything. Except the viruses. Although you showed them ("these are yours") I didn't understand that in the game so I thought the blue ones are enemies...

Amazing game but a bit too easy

Thanks for all your comments so far. I really appreciate it :)

A word to the level of difficulty: I think its very hard to find the right level here and as I know that most people rating the game like easier and "finishable" games more (at least I prefer them) I choose a easy difficulty.

But therefore I added the hardcore-mode version which is a REAL challenge, even for me as developer :)

Cool idea. The last level seemed quite tough (in fact, didn't beat it).

Nice little strategy game, although it still misses a few crucial features.

I enjoyed the game, but am still annoyed you didn't catch the firefly reference I had in my game. xD

Fun to try. Love music most.

It was really interesting, but a bit too much on the easy side. Needs some balancing to improve :-) Is it possible to actually lose a stage?

One very big complaint though: When the virus spreads to the world, Madagascar is the first country infected! That makes no sense! Madagascar should be the last place infected! If it was infected at all :-)

Cheers, and thanks for the game!

The music was perfect, set the tone right away.
Nice entry.

Interesting mechanic, could use some scaling in white cell difficulty, like have weak ones close at the start. At first I'd tried running to expand to other cells immediately and always got creamed, didn't realized I had to basically sit around and pump up rate & strength for a while first.

Didn't hear any music? Nice visual style and sounds. Died in round 3, will try again later. Not sure what the spawn option does.

Found this to be fun but a bit too easy myself, the immune system doesn't seem to keep up with your evolution much and I never really felt threatened.
