Reviews for "Parasites United"
Not bad at all.
Idle game: 5 stars
Graphics are not so good : -2 stars.
Can you do a update so the game have good graphics?
Very interesting setting - very different playing as a parasite. Took me a little while to figure out the game mechanics, but I think it's got a lot of potential for extended play.
been playing for a few weeks. oddly addictive game, i do agree that an additional layer of interaction would really bring it to the next level. (i.e. some form of upgradable items, or cost reduction items, or chances to fight "boss" blood cells, etc..). before trying to add a ton of things, it may be helpful to update the blue background also, small visual changes can add freshness to what the player is seeing. i like where this is going, and look forward to seeing more.
..........although....... there is one problem...... i logged in today and clicked on "new game" instead of continue, and the game auto-saved instantly now... sooooo, time to start this new game!

Thanks for your comment! This week I'm going to begin working on a sequel that will have more diversity. What do you mean by update the blue background? It's too ugly? :-) To be hones I just don't have a better idea, I just want it to be monotone to not distract from the important things.
I too have been playing this game since it released. Today I finally beat the game and killed the heart (last level). My final stats are below. Propably will restart now with better tactics.
I noticed since a week or so you get to keep your progress when starting a new egg, that definately made things a lot easier for me.
Gameplay has a couple flaws:
- Only the last parasite is worthy of power-upgrading. Since you can only use 1 parasite-type at the same time there's no real reason to invest in the weaker ones. Maybe just upgrade one of them a bit so you can beat the levels you need to unlock last parasite, but thats it. From here on theres also no need to upgrade production on these weak parasites, since you're never gonna use them again.
- When I go offline, one time it keeps batteling a level, the other time it stops batteling. Same for production on some of the parasites/levels.
- Other thing that bugs me is the inconsistency numbers, for exaple 5321.55K (egg prod) is very unclear. Why not 5.3M, why not 5.321.550, why not 5321K? The hearth has an unreadable number as well.
For the rest its a cool game. I dont care for shiny graphics, just happy this doesn't require a million clicks to finish. Thanks for the game, I'm looking forward to your next one.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, it's very helpful. I think the inconsistency with the numbers is that I hadn't assumed they could go that high - the numbers were clear on the nests though?
I'm currently working on parasites united 2 which will have 3 different attack types and some special parasites to change the enemy cell behavior, hopefully that will make it more interesting about which ones to build.
I am not sure about the offline battles, I scratched that entirely (it was the biggest mathematical thing I ever did in my life and it's prone to bugs).
