FA16-Project 20- week 3

The game i played this week was called  Plague Inc. which was created by Ndemic creations. The game is a simulation game that allows a player to develop a disease  and make it stronger  it to wipe out the human population before a cure is developed. The game teaches players how a plague can be spread and how it can evolve making it more deadly as time passes. The learning experience that the game is attempting for the player learning about different viruses or bacteria’s that can serious damage to the world’s population if there is no cure. The game uses a system where you gain DNA Points which is used to evolve the Disease  the way you want to. You can evolve how fast it spreads, also such as making the disease Airborne. You get DNA by clicking on the DNA symbol shows up on the screen. As the disease spreads all over the world, countries try to develop a disease and you get alerts on how many days you have left before the cure is created . In order to avoid the cure being made quick, you have to click on the popup that looks like the cure symbol to stop the process. Overall it was not an easy game to play but it was a great experience.
