★★★★★ Right up my alley
Thu Oct 21 2021 kittis are cool?From the art work to the gameplay this game is worth it. It falls into the pay to better your experience, but it does not impede on the game once so ever. Furthermore, the best part is the message of helping the environment. That’s what sets it apart to other strategy games out there. Just some quick comments, one maybe have a option to research links or conversation. Maybe even some live like “hey, this livestream is happening hear on something, go check it out!” Really will show the care and want to prove that message. Overall add another type of gameplay instead on the macro/world level go micro into a region. Then specifically bring up problems there. Though I really loved the cute and simple art style from earlier iterations and would love to get a setting turning the map into that. Although, if this is for the best who am I to judge. That’s my two sense and long story short this is great so play it!
★★★★★ Nerf hard mode
Tue May 25 2021 Player😏😏😏I’ve been trying to beat hard mode without watching ads, and it’s just impossible. First, you have to keep one continent alive long enough to begin solving causes. This will take about 4 years because every continent will be dead in 1 year, causing an insane race against the clock. Then once some continents are alive, you need to put down all the evil events, like wildfires and trawlers and poachers. If you’re unlucky, they’ll hit all your living continents and cause a game over. Because as soon as they show up, the continent dies. If you can make it past that point, if you have every single icon in the social tab, then and only then can you begin to think about victory. But you’ll never get there. Because of fresh water. My game has been going for 30 years, I have bought everything I can. And still the freshwater quality is going down. Every continent can fall simultaneously if one quality dips below 0. The only reason I’m still going is because reloading the game causes all areas to trend up (like they’re supposed to). On top of the fact that a single event can destroy a continent instantly even if my volunteers are present. It is impossible to win. The freshwater quality never goes above 14%.
If I can’t win with every single upgrade, then it doesn’t matter how many ads I watch. I will never win. Please nerf hard mode
★★★★★ Five Stars but needs Difficulty Tweaks
Wed Dec 23 2020 reviewer974745733Giving this 5 stars because it’s beautifully designed, fun, and I learned a lot!!
However, it definitely needs some tweaks on the difficulty settings. Easy and medium levels are too easy, and Hard level seems to be impossible to beat unless you watch the video for the +20 points.
I think the issue is that once you get into the tailspin for a continent, any actions you take have very little effect. While that may be true to life, in a game you always need to be able to affect the outcome. Example- no amount of animal initiatives will make Africa’s animal indicator improve if other continents are in a bad state. On Hard setting, you don’t have enough points to prevent continents from going into a tailspin, unless you watch the video for +20 points.
★★★★★ Great, but can be improved A LOT
Fri Apr 23 2021 Christine174So it’s obvious like this is an opposite version of plague inc, except where you have to save the world. it’s not likely they completely ripped the game, but the basis of each game is the same.
Let’s start with what i love. i really like the volunteer function, where you can send teams of volunteers that are specialized in a specific area to improve environmental situations in certain continents. In addition, i also really like how it’s not just ocean, earth, and air, but a bunch of subcategories like freshwater, soil, co2, climate, and animals. As a result you can get pretty complex situations where you need to decide which is more important, fish or land animals.
However here’s where some improvements can go. Firstly I wish that there was a news function (yes i know it’s like the plague inc one but they had it for a good reason) that way, there can be large scale events, like the government of a nation passes a bill that hurts animals, or the opposite way where new climate change action was passed. That leads to my next point, it would be cool if the media played a bigger role, like how certain media events could result in changes, and you could dispatch diplomatic volunteers or even lobbyists to certain areas where they can influence the government.
Overall this app is very fun and actually lighthearted. It shows how certain actions can change the world, either for the better or worse.
★★★★★ It’s good, but little replayability
Fri Nov 20 2020 Omegarex24This review is only based on free-to-play information. If there’s additional content behind the paid version, I don’t know about it.
First, the good:
-I like the art style. Very nice and colorful.
-The interface is fairly simple and easy to understand. I kind of wish the icons had little tool tips when you tapped them to see what some of the tech and initiatives did in more numerical terms but that’s just me.
-The background music is really good. Very appropriate for the game.
-As a bonus, the tutorial giver (whose name I forget) having vitiligo is a nice touch. You don’t see that frequently.
Now, the bad (or meh)
-The game is short. I recognize that it’s a race against the clock much like real life, but I feel like I got 15 minutes in before it was over, one way or another.
-There’s little variety. I can’t say for certain, but it looks like the ecological state of each area is the same. The pop up events are random, but Russian always has factory problems, Africa always has animal problems, etc. This is probably based on real life issues, but I feel like the game could use a shuffle mode or something that causes the start conditions to be different each game.
-I also feel like the game borrowed a little much from Plague Inc. in terms of core gameplay mechanic. I like Plague Inc. but I feel like this game could do a little more to differentiate itself from the former.
Overall, it’s a fun, short game if you just need to kill a few minutes, but it lacks staying power. If it gets some fun updates I’ll look into it again.
★★★★★ Maybe It’s just me, but…
Fri Mar 25 2022 PenguinReader08So, I love the concept of the game. I downloaded it today, started playing, thought it was fun. But right off the bat I noticed something I don’t like. It freezes. Like, A LOT. If I tap things too fast, freeze. If I try to collect money too fast, freeze. If I try and choose a button before it’s completely loaded in, freeze. I would love to keep playing it, and I’m not uninstalling it, but I’m going to have to permanently pause it until the freezing is fixed. Overall good game with beautifully simplistic graphics.
Also: A lot of people have complained that the difficulty system is messed up. There may have been an update since, but it doesn’t seem that way to me. I just beat Seaspiracy on hard. Granted, I had to pull back from a 3% overall rating, but I did NOT have to watch any videos to win. Just saying.
★★★★★ Might Buy Premium Depending One the Updates
Fri Jul 09 2021 LL Cool LuFun game. Brings awareness to good causes. Very easy to master. Obviously it draws a lot of comparisons to plague inc. The big difference for me between the two is the low replay factor. More elements that drastically influence game play each time would draw me back in.
The co2 upgrades surrounding electric vehicles and further up that chain seem extremely unlikely to happen quickly in real life like they do in the game. Perhaps more of an in depth struggle here and in other chains to acquire research, influence political opinion around conservation, and implement ecological measures would be fun and challenging (Some governments may not want to cut back on fossil fuels while other counties are working together to cut emissions. What can we do to influence this.) Etc.
Adding different scenarios, specific to the region, and worldwide, could also be really fun and add to the replay factor. Moreover, pushing the science, ecology, and resource preservation factors help keep the game grounded and it’s interesting to learn about different ecology initiatives in each chain. Makes me want to learn more about them in the real world.
Overall it’s a good experience and I’ll come back from time to time. Hopefully, the updates will add some more replay incentives.
★★★★★ Great concept, lots of room to improve
Tue Apr 06 2021 trader3737This is an very cool concept for a game, although there is much to be desired within it. The projects/ initiative are diverse and accurate, and a great way for someone to learn about some of these issues. Although diverse, there are still many more environmental issues that could be addressed. A more interactive experience would also make the game much better. It’s mostly just clicking some buttons, and nothing really changes on the map. Visual map changes would be cool, but kk even better would be mini games that feel meaningful, accurate, and fun while furthering education. There are many different routes they could go with this, although it obviously would take a lot of content addition. My last critique is that it is far too easy to balance the eco system. In reality, it will take many more initiatives and much longer than 3 years to even come close to restoring the damage we’ve done.
