Very fun game if you're looking for a game that you can play in short bursts or for several hours. It plays exactly like Hexcells with the proximity indicators like Minesweeper but on a hex grid. It's a bit of a survival game in which you have spare "Medicine". Medicine is like your HP, when you make an incorrect move, you lose medicine. If you run out of medicine, the game ends and your stage becomes your current high score. The game is also endless and has procedurally generated puzzles to give you a game that never ends and feels fresh every play through. Another nice bonus to buying the game is the free Android version you get. Just buy the game, visit the forum, and profit. I love this about the game. Now I can play at home in my spare time or take it on the go. The app also doesn't have microtransactions or ads. There are only 2 things I don't care for but ultimately don't really ruin the game. #1 Sometimes you'll need to guess because the tiles just don't give enough infor...
Minesweeper with hexagons, but with a nice "press your luck" twist.
simple and easy to learn, fun play-while-you-watch-netflix kind of game, definitely worth it for the price :)
If world leaders play this we can cure COVID-19
The game looks like fun, but is absurdly simple - it's only things you see on video. No other modes, no other mechanics, no achi, no cards, nothing... The biggest sin of the game is that many tmies you have to guess... and you lose medicine, and game over. Most of the time you lose becouse rng, not your skills and only thing you can do is start over boring levels... Remember that you can refund game.
This is a really great game with a small learning curve. I enjoyed the satisfaction of overcoming that and afterwards there is a lot of replayability. This game is a steal for the price, and is good for listening to something and playing.
This is a good concept for a game. The marketing is there. It's motivating to think of the cells as sick people. I'm disappointed, though, by the poor quality of coding (small, non-harmful but annoying bugs) as well as the presence of some need to guess. The need to guess may be good game design or not, but it's starting to get to me in a negative way. So I'm moving on from Vaccine.
Vaccine is actually a really neat, simple and clean puzzle game that puts a little bit of a spin on Minesweeper. The presentation is minimal but polished, and the gameplay straight to the point. If you like casual puzzle games like this, it's a fair grab for the low price. I would love to have a version or sequel of this though with an actual campaign of pre-planned levels instead of this endless gauntlet of random, growing maps until you lose.
An awesome game to pass the time, would highly recommend this for an awesome take on a Minesweeper style game.
