Bacteria Wars

Bacteria Wars is an Abandoned Early Access 2D retro pixel RTS where you control a bunch of cells and you have to fight off bacteria in small, simple maps. The game was deeply in development hell and hasn't been updated in over 3 months, so at this stage it's safe to say it's abandoned and will never be completed. Due to defects in the core game design, it's unplayable. A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution is locked and can't be changed, and there's no visual or graphics tweaks, so there's no way to improve the very lazy, mediocre visuals. Even worse, the game ignores resolution settings and just displays as a blurry upscaled mess... and it displays in a locked 4:3 aspect ratio (but renders outside the pillarbox, so some elements of the game cannot be seen!). This defect means the game won't actually start, it's broken and unplayable. This will be a mystery to most, because nobody knows about this game. Comically, the game only ever had one person log on at any time... presumably to then delete it. What a joke! Only one person ever tried playing this at any given time. In fact, I was the first person to load this since February. Even the developer isn't loading up his own game. But there's more, and it's worse. Given how basically crap and broken the game is, the developer putting a $10 USD price tag on it (almost comical) secures this as a cash grab and not a sincere attempt at making a game. Unethically, the developer sold keys to this abandoned Early Access game into cheap, nasty game bundles, where they knew it would be advertised and sold as a complete game. This seems to have been done in an attempt to mislead gamers into buying a knowingly faulty, defective and incomplete product. When a developer does this for a game they have zero practical intention of completing, this is essentially a scam, an intention to get paid for a broken/unfinished product. Often this is done as an exit strategy, as the developer takes the money and runs. No refunds have been given, the developer kept all the money they took from gamers.

some weird stuff going on with the menus like i couldn't close things and the game didn't seem too start so i oculd actually play need more work too be playable.
