good
Simple puzzler game where bacteria grow randomly each turn in a hex grid, and your goal is to control and eventually eliminate them all by curing small areas at a time with individual "doses" over the course of 10-15 turns. One of the key mechanics is and saving doses and delaying curing on the current turn to make the curing action on the next turn even stronger. A good risk-reward mechanic. Can be quite tough, especially some levels, which will involve many retries until the randomness works in your favour, which can make the game at times feel less like a puzzle game, because even the best strategy cannot default bad luck in this game. Sometimes you have lost even on the first turn (e.g. Bonus level 4). Feels like there is a lot of depth that is left unexplored with the game. Different map structures, more types of bacteria, additional ways to gain research and doses, etc. This game could provide a much wider variety of maps than the current set of 12 or so. Fair price when on sale, and can provide a few hours of entertainment.

this game is harder than it has any right to be
Yes, I recommend this game. https://youtu.be/zz_g10AqDKU
Il ne coûte pas cher, c'est ça qui est bien (surtout en solde, Capitain Obvious...). Mais bon, j'ai eu l'impression de cliquer un peu au hasard, et de ne pas tout comprendre des mécanismes. Je n'ai pas fini : soit il faut réfléchir beaucoup plus que je ne peux (bien que j'apprécie les casse-têtes, celui-ci m'a semblé très difficile), soit que tout ne soit pas expliqué, ce qui est plus problématique : perso je n'aime pas les jeux de hasard... Sinon c'est très limité tant en ce qui concerne le gameplay que l'environnement. On peut s'abstenir, c'est plus frustrant que ludique sur les derniers niveaux.
I'm always on the search for a new Puzzle / Strategy game and this is one I'd definitely recommend. It's clever, it's challenging and is well worth your two dollars.
Très bon jeu de réflexion
Easy to learn, hard to master (if you are going for 3 stars) strategy puzzler. It is not a pure puzzle since RNG is involved (determines placement of bacteria), but if you pay attention and think ahead, you can always conquer the board with strategy. Individual rounds take only a few minutes, so you can play it when you don't have time to start something long. Absolutely recommended.
比较难的策略游戏,闲时可以玩一玩
게임보단 노가다로 느껴지네요
