Bacterial Takeover: Idle games

I played past the 10th planet and this game just doesn't seem to go anywhere ... each planet just increases the amount of time you need to waste to destroy it by massive margins and the bonuses are a complete waste of time. The gene enhancements (I forget the actual name) are a complete waste of time as you end up with millions of them with nothing to spend them on. Not a bad concept but poorly executed... And I would seriously consider never downloading any recommendation by this editor again.

Entertaining game, fun and easy to play. As much as I like this game. Im uninstalling as the game updated while I was unaware. Due to this I've lost all progress. I had completed multiple challenges, planets and the worm hole, up grades. I'm not going through all that work again, just for the next update to un do it again.

definitely one of the better clicker games, no doubt abput that. But a couple of issues are holding it back. Firstly, unreliable gem payment for actions. an improvement would be if you could monitor progress/check up on requirements and submit queries if gems dont turn up when they should. secondly a different counting system so its easier to calculate cost vs benefit between colonies. it would make the game more entertaining but its just too tricky with the correct names as it stands.

Played well until ny first black hole. I logged out 5 minutes later. When I logged back in, the game had reset. Tried restarting several times, nothing.

Something happened in this latest update. Touch sensitivity is gone. I have to press the buy buttons multiple times before I get a response. The day counter appears to be broken, too. I've been playing daily for about 2 months straight, but it reads 17 days. I cannot access an ad for gems, despite the fact that I'm beyond the 8 hour time requirement. This has now been broken for several weeks with no updates on fixing it. I'm not threatening to uninstall right now but I will do so soon.

update: 11/1/2019. cleaner UI now, old one was good too. new features and multipliers have been added that allow new strategy. but most importantly *clears throat* NO FORCED ADS. yes, this game is free but does not throw ads in your face every 5 minutes like others do. you can watch ads for free bonuses, but it's ALL VOLUNTARY. Runs well on galaxy s6 (older phone). plays like you'd expect, an idle clicker game. upgrades seem to grow with you. so it doesn't feel repetitive.

well.. it's not really an idle game. late game at the start of a new round you have to quickly progress through planets which requires constant attention. near the end of a new round you need to attack planets multiple times causing the same over attention. it's really just a progressive game without the idle time, and instead of clicking directly for points you must constantly click upgrades. and attack planets.

Enjoyable time filler but some ad-reward ads are starting to auto minimize the app (no input from me) 3-5 seconds in (pausing the ad timer) and opening their app in the app store. Still have to watch the 30 sec ad plus three 5-6 sec additional click pages to exit their ad. To only have the stated reward -- drum roll... -- NOT rewarded! The "Frozen City" ad has done this to me twice in the past 30 minutes... Otherwise this would be a 4 or 5 star.

Love this game, feeds my OCD. I do have a genuine complaint though. It has taken over a few of my apps. When I click certain apps it launches the game instead of the intended app. Also when I set the graphics to low, every time I play the game next it is reverted back to high. Edit: Works much better now than when I first reviewed. Added extra stars!

I rarely ever rate apps. So when I do it's for good reason. Don't get me wrong I love the game. And would rate it 5 stars if it weren't for a small problem. The game has worked totally smooth until a few days ago. The problem I am having is that the feature to watch short videos is no longer working. Each time i try to do this the video starts to load for 2 or 3 seconds and then the game restarts itself. Fix this and i will re-rate 5 stars.

It was good for a while, but eventually it becomes a slog of a massive wait-fest. It just goes to not being very fun anymore, and there's nothing graphically interesting about the main part of the game. It's just green (or yellow) blobs -- like the ones you see in the game's icon -- with the occasional red blob. Yeah. Boring. So I'm uninstalling this game and moving on to... less green-blob pastures.

It's a good time waster, there are ads but it's only a couple dollars a month and I think it's well worth it. The only issue I've found with actual game play is with the ad watching on red bacteria. If you collect the reward that would normally require an ad you won't actually get the credit on your daily for it. Other than that I still enjoy it.

How in-game ads should be - take note other devs whose games I refuse to play - they aren't incessant, you get a very significant bonus (almost like this digital reward costs them nothing!) so there's an incentive to watch the ads. Best of all, you can get rid of them entirely with a reasonable subscription price. Some of these devs are asking as much as a WoW subscription for a mobile game. As for the game itself, it's very addictive and doesn't feel slapped together to sell ads.

Fun, creative theming with a solid gameplay loop. My only caveats with the game are really quality of life complaints. I really wish there was a "buy all" button for both the colony list and the skill tree. Scrolling through and buying 20 colonies on every planet gets really tedious, especially considering how quick you burn through them every new prestige. The skill tree is pretty equally irritating to buy through too. I don't even do it until I need to. Otherwise, great game!

This is the best mobile game I have ever played, to be honest. The only thing that might be slightly bad is that after a couple black holes, It gets really difficult to advance at the later planets. I also find it confusing that the planet textures loop back after planet #45, and mineral find chances too. Other than that, I dislike that in the later game BPC is practically useless, especially with the idle BPS bonus. Other than that, love the work on the game, and can't wait to see more updates!

Almost no other games can top this, it's one of the best games ever, no ads except for ads that play for a reward, daily rewards which hook you to playing every day, the list goes on. Awesomely done. Only problem being the difficulty of completely taking planets later in the game as other people say, although you could just produce lots and lots of nanobots. Edit: I now have half a scientist? What? Is this a bug or an intentional feature? Edit 2: I figured out what it is. Again, cool game!

This has been pretty good! until last year when they started messing with the button layout I liked the being able to upgrade the ship! but They went too far when after moving the bacteria evolution area to some place you won't think to look for it out in the space menu that was a terrible terrible idea no pay for the dummy who thought up that idea!!! that main reason it 3 stars and not 5
