It would be nice to have some more options here. I’ve built a fortress with drills inside and virus cannot go inside. So it’s good. But I have too little drills and have no more place to put more drills. So the game is over but still I earn money. In that case there should be some way to destroy virus or building to try to get more area for building. Maybe some big bomb destroying bigger part (maybe random diameter around 5-10 fields) and it would destroy virus but also buildings and walls. It could be a disaster when there is no empty space on the screen. Or maybe it could be something the player should buy for lots of money? This is really good idea but it could be enhanced to something that lets you play longer and give an ability to fight with virus. Currently it only depends on who will be faster at the beginning. After that there is almost no fight. Well.. I’ll leave you with a bunch of ideas :)
Yes. The problem is at the beginning. If you don’t have a chance to take over large territory, you already know that you will lose. So there is no need to fight further. And in well balanced game, it should be still possible to work a solution to take over bigger area and win. Another idea is to add some walking machine that will go and destroy a few viruses until it will be itself destroyed, but this will allow to get a part of ground. Or maybe your own anti-virus that will spread and fight with virus when they will touch each other. You could produce anti-virus for money. Well… I think this game is a great start to enhance it and make it very nice strategy game. But of course its minimalism is an advantage so there should be not many new elements to keep it simple and fun. It’s your game, so it’s up to you :).
