Bacterial Takeover - Idle game

Love it, perfect game to zone into. The one game where tapping and idle collections are both robustly designed—two different paths you can take on each level, depending on how your planetary research plays out. Remarkably tuned, nuanced mechanics and upgrades, and a variety of idle options. Downside? Research takes a long time, and you’ll need to buy at least 8 scientists to really get things done. I have 10, using 5 to research, and split the rest between nanobots, irradiation, bacterial evolution, and irradiation. The premium cost of speeding up research, as well as a bunch of other things, doubled a couple of months ago. That was also lame. Content updates could occur more frequently, and perhaps with more significant impact or addition to the game. The updates have mainly been several new supplementary systems, some systems iteration, and fine tuning. Good stuff, but I want more. Because it’s so tightly tuned with such a great aesthetic alignment of systems, it is essentially a five star game. However, because the prices of things using premium currency went up recently, I give Bacterial Takeover 4 stars. Really 4 1/2. It was an unnecessary price increase.

I greatly enjoy the game, don’t get me wrong. It’s simple, fun, and quite unique for a clicker game. The only issue I find with the game’s mechanics are the gene strands. Gene strands are used to increase your production and for upgrades. The issue? The gene strand upgrades are much to overpriced, and are often counter-productive. For example; there is one upgrade that increases your BPS (bacteria per second) by 100% when idle, and costs 2500 gene strands. The issue? Each gene strand increases your BPS by 1%. Which means you waste 2500% of your production while only increasing it by 100%, making it a whopping 2400% decrease in production. Which means, for every overpriced upgrade, you collectively lose more and more production percentage. I think this issue has been overlooked by the developers, and should be fixed so that unwary players don’t waste their gene strands on upgrades that don’t provide enough production increase for their massive cost, and so that players who know this issue will have a better use for gene strands other then keeping them piled up. If you have read this, thank you for your time, love the game, and I hope to see improvements in the future!

I like games that allow me to leave and come back. This one does and the idea of taking over planets is cool. The graphics are great and the time line isn’t bad either the only thing that keeps me from rating a 5 star is I don’t get how to mutate bacteria. I started this game on another device but it crashed so I am starting over not a problem there because I was having fun only wished I could figure out how to mutate the bacteria. Thank you for your response, I figured out how but where do you get the other bacteria to mutate? Update: Oh, I did solve the mutation problem. been away for a bit never deleted the game just doing other things and started playing again. The new graphics are awesome. Keep up the good work.

I love the game a lot! But there’s something that kind of bugs me. I really wish it was realistic. It’s way too cartoony. And I really wish that there wasn’t a bacteria man growing bacteria. My only suggestion is that maybe you could add a real mode so that a man is making a mutant bacteria to end the world. Another thing that would really improve the game is that maybe you could add a virus, fungus, bio weapon and prion. Another thing you could add is to be able to Upgrade your bacterias severity or infectivity and stuff. One more thing you could add to make this game the king of the App Store is to only allow you to takeover only 1 continent at a time. And I really really hope you take my ideas into consideration. Thank you

Pay attention other app developers this is how you do it, this app is absolutely flawless. And they’re constantly updating it, the recent diamond delivery system is absolutely awesome because it’s not reoccurring unlike the idle miner game some other greedy developers make. Which puts me in total control I chose whether not I want another 30 days of diamonds for $15 or not, which is not a bad deal cause it’s $45-$50 worth of diamonds for only $15 you just have to wait 30 days. I do not give away five star reviews so easily, these developers have absolutely earned it. I highly recommend purchasing the no ads package that’s $3/month it’s absolutely worth it.
