Microcosmum: survival of cells

Okay game, but two major issues make it unpleasant to play. The first is map zoom. On most maps, you can NOT see the whole map away the same time and there's no minimap. So while the AI is aware of everything in the map, you have to spend significant time doing random scrolling to ensure there isn't an opponent hiding and building up strength. The second major issue is color scheme. You are forced to use blue and all the levels after really blue. As a result, you can't see your own health bars.

Super fun, but also super short. I finished all the free content in two or three days. Good mechanics, good graphics, good sounds. The tutorial could use work, it doesn't quite explain everything and leaves a lot up to trial and error. It took maybe 20 levels before I figured out that cells could be upgraded. There are also a few bugs, antibodies can get stuck outside of maps and sometimes cells can get trapped in more narrow areas of a map.

Really enjoying this game, just a suggestion, don't know if they'd cause conflict with the current controls but implementing gestures for panning and zooming on the screen similar to looking at photos or maps on your phone would help better streamline the gameplay and reduce the on-screen buttons that sometimes do get in the way, but a fun and functional game nonetheless. Also, thank you for asking for a review after a decent amount of time with the game.

Fun enough game, good to kill time. I paid for the expansion packs which were worth 1.50 a pop. They have an option to play on easy, normal, or hard but no way to tell which you've done on what setting. Once it's passed, they all look the same. Be better to have some sort of difference showing difficulty completions for more playability. Also, be better if you could do more with evolution, or something different? By the time you finish the free pack, you're maxed out on all of them.

Clunky interface. The joystick and zoom buttons are not effective at all, and would be much more effective as a 2-finger pinch/zoom/move configuration. The gameplay, look, style, and concept are great. I feel like I should really like this game. But the interface is tedious and overshadows the rest when you need to use it.

Good game with no ads. I enjoy the game, but find the CONTROLS as a whole lacking in smoothness. The gameplay itself is smooth, the controls, not so much. Zooming as well as selection of intended cells and bases is difficult and often leads to a feeling near uncontrol. Especially since the bases wonder in directions. Overall, good game, but not quite smooth enough for my liking.

So far so good! The controls are indeed hard to get used to it, but the game is absolutely playable. Nice, relaxing gameplay, good sounds, challenging, but not too difficult levels. I like it a lot! I've some remarks though. The physics of the game is kinda glitchy. Basically antibodies, and sometimes even organisms can be squeezed through the game border! Also, I recently purchased 'Random levels' and noticed that restart gives a new random level instead of restarting the current level.

The controls are perfectly fine for my LG rebel... and there's a tutorial at the start explaining 80% of things. The only thing I noticed is that the level select screen IS the main menu. Just scroll up after a level, yeesh. So many unneeded 2 and 1 stars. It might just be an incompatibilty issue, THAT is what should be mentioned. So, yes, an update may be needed, don't just rant.

The levels are fun and are difficult in some levels, but it just ends there. The game is plagued with bad AI, path finding, and the glitch walls that usually allows antibodies, and cells to go outside the map. I've finished the 2nd dlc that contained the bosses and the 5 powerups, and the bosses are way too easy due to the bad AI, and it becomes easier when you unlock the "Balloon" skill. This game has some great potential as I'm in the middle of the 3rd dlc, but it still needs some improment.

Fun little game. No in app purchases required to have fun instead the developer opted for the DLC approach. There are close to 80 levels that are fun to play and replay when you've beaten them plus dlc. It's nice to see that there are still people out there willing to take some time and create a fun game while not shoving adds, and pay to win type stuff. I'm honestly considering buying the DLC just to support this guy. Plus it's Christmas season.

The game is nice and relaxing in general, probably thanks to the music, but apparently no playtesting took place because most levels are too easy while several are just impossible to beat (e.g. "hot & cold" 23; on "hard" of course - the game is simply boring on medium difficulty). The difficulty level seems to just make enemies cheat by growing much faster, their AI is always poor. Also, "aliens" is a very tedious campaign. Controls are quite imprecise. Collision detection rarely works.

Good concept but bad execution. This game it's fun but the controls our so glitchy that it's impossible to play. The game only registers half of the commands I gave so I had to give every command twice. The game entertaining enough that I was willing to put up with it at the beginning but as the levels got harder I started losing because of it. Eventually it became unplayable

The controls need a little tweaking, should try the random battles free after you beat the game, and should be able to unlock a dlc pack if you beat the game on hard, or a half of a dlc for beating it on normal. Honestly its not a bad game, its easy to play, but i beat it within a day, so my biggest complaint is not having enough levels. EDIT: This really isnt like any other strategy game where it gets way to hard way too quick. Honestly it brought me back to the era of flash games.

Edit2: The Fast Forward button desperately needs to be either moved away from the edge to prevent the thumb from hurting or have a fast forward toggle option implemented. Edit: played for a week and the main issue is the touch controls. Very unresponsive a lot of the time. Original review: Really fun game, but the speed button needs to be moved higher up and away from the edge of the screen. The thumb starts to hurt while trying to hold the button down.

It's such a shame this game doesn't work because it really should. The feel of the game and the graphics are great, but the controls let it down so much. 3 words: pinch and zoom. It's 2020, get with it guys. And moving the camera around with a placed joystick point? What's that about? I'm not slamming the game though, it's general vibe of relaxed, reactive, strategic gameplay is very satisfying. One side of the game is fantastic, the other side, not so much. 3 stars

Do not recommend. The "tutorial" isn't; instead, a lame series of pictures with minimal captions explains the controls without explaining gameplay. I never thought I'd miss tutorials, but I do now. The interface is fiddly and intricate; it feels like the author does not understand mobile touchscreen controls and conventions. UI is not great, the focus is on being "pretty" while passing over such core visual markers as "which unit is selected?". Taps are frequently not recognized. Just not good.

The controls are awkward, you basically just keep selecting a large area and chasing the opponent around the whole time. There's not really any strategy, or decisions that affect gameplay, except that it is coming closer or farther away. Gave up on level two when I realized I had never been hurt but the opponent's shield came back faster than my spores would regen, lame. Also, the whole game is dark and hard to read the menus. Not worth the download really

Microcosmum is a pretty good game! I really like it, and its so addicting and the controls were also pretty good and smooth mostly the graphic its the best! And the music is really good too, it takes away your depressed and your mood will become chill. But there is a bug where if you select the anti bodies, sometimes the selector glitched. Still i recommend everyone to download this game.

The gameplay itself is very fun but you can't be putting paywalls over EVERY SINGLE THING besides the main game. I would much rather have to watch an ad when I start and complete a mission than have 90% of the game locked behind a paywall. You can still make money by having things like buying evolutions, removing adds, or skipping a level, because, although it's not the best fact, a big part of your age demographic is probably kids who don't think twice about spending their money.

NON RESPONSIVE CONTROL (minor) FIX - I have figured out that if you use a nearly feather light touch, the controls will actually respond more frequently than using the standard stab your screen with your index finger. Not saying this is the end all fix for everybody, but it certainly seems to help! Especially since the developers seem to have very little interest in improving their game. Hope this helps everybody! To the development team, FIX YOUR GAME CONTROLS! Seriously...

It is a simple, active, and fun strategy game I only have two issues. The reward system for evolutions is all over the place and doesn't seem to be tied to how well you did in your game. And the evolutions is disappointing. They give good effects there's just no reason to customize because the max is 100 and you have enough space to max out all four slots. I like to play with my upgrades and focus on areas or even them out if I want and this is a perfect system to do so but there is no benefit.

Excellent game for sure. I've beaten the entire game except for the hot/cold which is more annoying than anything. I did email the dev to suggest a bundle deal for all the different modes but never heard back. Still ended up buying all of the modes except the hot/cold. I still hop on and play the random mode all the time

Love the concept as well as the graphics and ambiance, however, in 2020 game apps designed for mobile should use pinch to zoom and move around screen rather than the +- on screen buttons to zoom which are just horrible. Add to this the on screen joystick controls to move around and you lost me. Using fingers on screen to move around like in other similar games is much more enjoyable and less restrictive. I would absolutely live to play it if the controlls are changes. Uninstalling for now.

I'm leaving five stars because of no ads, beautiful ambience and well-implemented strategic elements. But I'm deleting it because the usability is terrible. I have the impression the the devs ported a non-touchscreen game and added only partial touchscreen support. E.g. no pinch-to-zoom or swipe-to-pan? Seriously? I would love to keep playing, but I just find it much too frustrating.

Good game man but if you want money 💰 with ads , most people don't want to play for that , like you can put ads at the end of a game , to skip a level, to unlock something , also you can put things Ex, game money for evolution .. like I think you get it . . . But I know it will have to change a lot of things like new UI , but it can be something smart .

I bought Mutations, New life, and Aliens, which was definitely worth the money. Not only are they super fun, but it's definitely a great way to spend your time when your bored. It also has amazing graphics which is really surprising for mobile "games" nowadays. Amazing controls aswell, you just click on your blob, and click somewhere else to move it! The best part though, is that there are NO ADS! Never saw a app without ads before, and the minigames are super cheap.
