About Pathogen - Strategy Board Game

"Pathogen's simple-yet-addictive gameplay is augmented by a terrific presentation, with visuals that make it feel like you're playing on a computer from a 1980s sci-fi film."
- theVerge.com

"A portable game of elegant strategy"
- IndieGames.com

"...It feels like a classic game updated, but it's a whole new animal. There's an extensive single-player mode, multiplayer, and a level editor to make your own boards — much more than $2.99 should get you."
-Kotaku.com

"I’d definitely say Pathogen is an absolute steal at $2.99 in the app store."
- EnemySlime.com

"Part of me wants to hate Pathogen, just so I can continue my unremitting crusade against the drab joylessness of abstracts. But I can't do it: the game's just too enchanting."

Great game. Music stays playing in the backrou d when im at my home screen. Also wish there was a save button so I could come back later. Runs a little slow, but that's probably my phone.

X70%
by X####:

All sounds are somehow noisy at the fade out. Back button shouldn't exit the game. Undo is terrible slow.

X70%
by X####:

Just got to the highest level of game piece before making it solid? Some one is going to nuke it. I guarantee it. Great idea, but would like to limit some of the game pieces or change the respawn rate for the pieces.

S70%
by S####:

But you'll really need to speed up the thinking of the computer opponents. Now it's horrible to play the levels with multiple opponents.

O70%
by O####:

I love this game, but it has a few problems. There should be a rename and a delete button for custom maps. The y axis has 2 more squares than the x axis, which makes it hard to make it symmetrical.We should choose the size of our maps rather then choosing custom sizes. There should also be a catalog to view and download others peoples' maps.

F70%
by F####:

I love this game. The concept is unique and innovative and it forces you to think. You can't just get big without thinking about vulnerability that comes from scaling. Also beautiful

M70%
by M####:

This game is okay for a single player experience. As someone who was specifically searching for multiplayer strategy games, it is highly disappointing and I'm sad I had to spend money to find out that online multiplayer is seemingly nonexistant. The matchmaking picks a player for you and then there is no turn timer so I've never found a game where a player makes their move. It seems like with "ranked" play, it would be common sense, but it simply isn't, and you end up eternally waiting for your opponent.

P70%
by P####:

The game is too large for the screen and I can't see a row of the board. Please fix this and I'll give 5 stars.

M70%
by M####:

Online is kind of lacking because not n any people play this game so its hard to get into a game where someone will actually play against you but overall reallu good and fun game

N70%
by N####:

Love this board game plz make more like this I'd so buy them they rock and are addicting :D

M70%
by M####:

The only thing missing (for me anyway) is immersion for 4.4. Make this happen please

I70%
by I####:

What an elegant and enjoyably addictive game! Why have so few of us heard about it? Please give us more levels!

M70%
by M####:

Long time user of the game, however it now starts to randomly show the win screen on custom local gameplay, very upsetting as it was perfect before! I hope it's changed quickly

M70%
by M####:

I have already paid for the game but every time a try to install it it just says insufficient storage, even after I uninstalled several large apps and then tried to install again but the same thing keeps happening, please fix or at least refund

D70%
by D####:

seriously a fantastic game no adds kinda slow on galaxy s3 wish ot had more maps and stuff but awesome none the less had it on ipad too even better there with its big screen and dedicated processor

X70%
by X####:

Loving this game a lot! Playing on an Xperia Z2, the zoom button inexplicably covers the bottom of the board but little interface niggles can't take away from a satisfying game.

M70%
by M####:

Really good game, but online multiplayer doesn't work, and a little buggy, and please please please make a pc version

W70%
by W####:

Excellent. Although screen times out to quick.

N70%
by N####:

Love the deceptively simple mechanics, but unfortunately the bigger games get so tiny that I can't accurately input commands on my phone. And despite what other reviews said, there doesn't seem to be a zoom button anywhere. Will give 5 stars when this is fixed.

N70%
by N####:

One of those games you buy and play once in a while that doesn't bother you with continued investments. 99¢ is a great price. Even if you don't play it often you won't regret picking it up. Like a boardgame you buy for a rainy day.

F70%
by F####:

This is a very polished, satisfying game. I only wish I still had it after updating to Android 5. :( Trying to reinstall results in "Unknown error", -505

L70%
by L####:

Nice game. Too bad it stays on the background playing music and eating your battery! Also there is no zoom so larger maps are fairly tiny on 5.7" screen

N70%
by N####:

Nice idea with great single player levels, multiplayer (up to 4 players) and level editor. However, the overall UX is really poor. It kills battery. There are achievements, but no Google integration. Really slow and unresponsive UI, multiple splash screens you have to watch every time, and if you switch to another app mid-game, chances are your game is lost and you'll have to start it all over. No crosshair to help you place your moves on mobile screens, so it's relatively easy to misplace a move. Undo is buggy, it can permanently undo a timed level effect (erosion, zone capture, etc.), so the game is broken from there on. It could easily be a five star game, but the UX kills it all.

N70%
by N####:

I love board / tabletop games. This is an incredible realization of a board game over a mobile device. It's actually VERY fun to play with friends, easy to pickup but with complex strategies.

N70%
by N####:

12 hours of stay awake and 30% of battery is not good. Fix battery problem and I'll give it 5 stars.

E70%
by E####:

I liked this game - if you are good at chess you'll be good at this. Sadly, I'm not very good at chess...

K70%
by K####:

The concept for this game is deceptively simple at first, there's a ton of complexity and strategy that goes into playing it, it's one of the few multi player games that's actually worth passing around and playing with others in person

K70%
by K####:

I really enjoy this game and am disappointed that the latest Android OS update eliminated this app from my phone. I have attempted to reinstall it, but just get "error -505."

I70%
by I####:

Othello-like game. Very enjoyable, recommended if you like games you can quit out of without consequence.

C70%
by C####:

Excellent. Although screen times out to quick.

L70%
by L####:

Every time I hit the back button, I get thrown out of the game. That bottom bar is entirely unnecessary on Android. It serves as a back button space. This is a supremely lazy port from iOS. Also, the animations are very slow.

Y70%
by Y####:

Initial version of zoom controls was much better then it is now.

M70%
by M####:

Fun and challenging. I wish the multiplayer would allow me to choose who to play online. And the music glitches from time to time. Still a fun game.

Y70%
by Y####:

The game is now scaled correctly. I do wish it used immersive mode so the back, home, recent buttons didn't distract me. Otherwise, it's great.

X70%
by X####:

Very nice game. Great visuals, challenging gameplay. Love it!

V70%
by V####:

Kind of difficult but great fun..

Y70%
by Y####:

It's awesome it was also built with local play

E70%
by E####:

There are many games out there that "try to challenge your mind" but this game cuts the cake. Its use of simplistic ideals yet complicated structure turn this game into a constant war. Well worth the money!

N70%
by N####:

I really enjoy this game but after exiting it the process still keeps CPU awake and drains the battery

Y70%
by Y####:

Easy to pick up. Hard to master. Great.
