HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (661 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. 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.

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game was fun at first, but once you level up a bit, you either have to pay to progress or wait days to move forward.
★★★★★ This is a fun game but the adds are stupid especially the forced adds u have to pay to remove I would not recommend!
Missing features2%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Though I understand the basis being similar to another game, that doesn't take away from the lack of playability.
★★★★★ I think you should be fighting the virus, not spreading it. Also, I think you should make a second version where you fight the virus.

Ads ruin this game

This app is really fun, but 24 hours after playing, I’m plagued with ads. I’m talking 4 times more than before. Every 30 seconds, I click anything, ad. It takes away from the game play and I’m ready to just delete

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
Not like Plague Inc

This is NOT like Plague inc, the only purpose to this game is to waste your time with ads. In Plague inc, you actually had a hand in the evolution of your diseases, it took skill. You could manage symptoms and remain subtle until too many were infected to stop you, or alter the way you mutate to spread in certain ways. This game is nothing like that. This is nothing but a linear Skinner box that has no meaningful way of affecting the progression nor outcome. There’s no skill involved at all, and all you do is tap the same buttons over and over again, and get forced ads every handful of taps. And that’s the final rub about this game. Not only is it not fun, but the frequency of forced ads, and their length, is absolutely absurd. If you want an app whose whole purpose is to waste your time with showing you the same ad over and over and over, go ahead and download this one. If you want to do anything remotely worthwhile with your time, skip this one.

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
So much potential

This game was so much fun for a short while and then it started taking way too long to level things up and mutate the virus and then the constant pop up ads seemingly only a minute or two apart from each other

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
Remove Ads

First of all, I wanted to say the game itself is relatively fun. I like the concept and the upgrade system paired with the incremental play style. What makes it unplayable is after leveling up the upgrades., It plays an ad automatically. Second- the game itself is kind of dark… You are infecting the world with a virus. The fact that it’s a 4+ age range is kind of crazy to me. I would never let my five-year-old play this. I don’t really have any negative reviews at this point because I didn’t make it very far. The reason I gave it a two stars because it played an ad after every other upgrade.

★★★★★Oct 7, 2026
Nice, I like it

This game is like plague ink and I love I made naopo 1 pronounced, nano peed I better keep Playing Because I only have a few people infected (note to developer) I love your game can you remove the ads to make it more fun.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026
Ad paradise

Nothing but ads. An ad every two minutes. You can’t even play the game at that rate
