but the worst thing of the game is:
when you start to spread to many countries, you start to be noticeable, this virus is so moron to try to spread to all the world before ;]

manipulativeJack. have you actually tried that sneak tactic? This is "standard", everyone does this, sell all symptoms, buy a bit resistence wait, then its a say 1 in 50 you infect madagascar.
I wonder, why this is worth a badge just hoping you get a 1 in 50 lucky roll. Where each roll takes 30 minutes of your time to find if it worked..

Wow, no one seems to really understand this game. There is quite a bit of strategy involved... have you tried NOT getting your disease noticed and building up some points to work with... or do you just buy all the deadly stuff right away? You have to think like a disease... sneak, infect, build... wait till you are in every country BEFORE you become deadly and noticable... come on people! This game rocks.

Parasites FTW!!! lol
i managed to infect the whole world without anyone noticing x]
Awesome game. Oh and btw, Madagascar, I HATE YOU.

I think most people agree this game has no strategy involved. Hoping a country, Madagascar, gets infected is not strategy. This game isn't really a game though. There's no real action involved, just click and hope for the best. It's more of a simulation. It is bad that this game has gotten the card and 4 badges when there are plenty other games a lot better than this. Bad Greg!

Honestly, I’m surprised this game was picked for a card. All you do is click buttons and watch dots fly around the world. The programming seems a little flawed too; example: I had a virus in South Africa. I gave it the insect and rodent upgrades, not the other two, and somehow, my virus appears in India, Greenland, and Australia. Oh, and also: If you remove all symptoms, people still see the virus and freak out.
However much work you put into this, it really doesn’t matter if the concept is horrible.
Oh, and really the only “strategy” in this is restart until you start in Madagascar. If you can, anyway.
THis is un-freaking-believable! Is it even possible to avoid the vaccine! I’ve played like 15 times and everytime no matter what I do the vaccine works perfectly! And it always starts developing like after 2 contries are infected! THis is total BS. This could be a 5/5 if it wasn’t so unlucky! Hmph I hardly call this strategy. >=(

Country's should be able to reopen border, port etc. Especially if you sell off traits of the virus so it cannot no visibility. This would open up the strategic element of the game to allow Madagascar to be brought to their deaths.

DAMNIT!! I started off as Madagascar, awesome i know. All i needed was one country, indonesia. All the other countries had 0 healthy, and indonesia still had borders open so it was just a matter of time. Then i accidentally hit refresh button on keyboard :( all my hard work was gone :'(

I think the frustration with this game is that you want so badly to interact with it, but there's really nothing to do. I believe there is a single strategy that works, it's just hidden by giving the player choices. I think the concept of this game will inspire people, but I hope there are new levels of interactivity that can be created.

I agree with VUQuadrophenia. There is barely a strategy to this game other than don't be too visible and hope Madagascar, Australia, and New Zealand get infected before they close their borders. Not much player involvement. Idea is really cool, but need to find a way to make it more interactive.

Card is too easy, hard and impossible are too hard. I could play this for days and by sheer luck, never infect Madagascar. Or start in Madagascar and have some other island shut down. My 5/5 rating is now a 3/5

Yeah!!! at last i killed them all!!!!...just in relaxed mode though.....but starting in madagascar was a great help...

This game is barely a game, first of all. It's more like a software toy, that you just watch. Second of all, the 'gameplay' doesn't seem to have much of an impact on your results. You basically just have to get low visibility, cross your fingers, and hope. Finally, because of this, there's really only one viable strategy, which is pretty boring. Try and be as asymptomatic as possible, and just wait, then try and kill everyone. It would be nice if you could make different kinds of diseases and maybe still succeed, but nope. I really wish this 'game' hadn't gotten 4 badges and a card.
