Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Jeux clair et simple a prendre en main, doté de plusieurs niveau il est difficile de s'ennuyer sur ce jeux qui vaut vraiment le coup

Jeu sympa mais quelques problèmes

Le jeu est très sympa et plaisant à jouer. Les différentes épidémies, les maladies et les scénarios (y compris ceux de la communauté) permettent d’accéder à différents challenge et de garder de l’intérêt. Quelques problèmes d’UX me font lâcher le jeu de temps en temps. Le plus frustrant etant de ne pas pouvoir désactiver les bannières de tuto a chaque partie. Toutes ces informations qui mettent la progression de la maladie en pause pour nous expliquer ce qu’est une bulle d’ADN, qu’un nouveau pays vient d’être infecté (alors que la bulle rouge nous l’indique), qui nous conseille de regarder le menu monde, … ça casse complètement la dynamique du jeu, n’apporte absolument aucune information intéressante et est impossible à désactiver. De manière générale, je joue au jeu pendant 1 ou 2 semaines puis j’arrête complètement de jouer quand je ne supporte plus ces bannières. Je préférerais ne pas avoir de nouveau mode de jeu pendant 1 an mais pouvoir désactiver ces bannières
