Bacterial Takeover - Idle game

I have played this game about 5 years ago and the graphics has been the same until now. The graphics was updated and I have 1 small problem with it and that is when I go to buy colonies I click on the planet view and it is annoying. The skill point system is great but what about gene strands because I usually go straight to the planets Colonies but now I take a moment at the artificial planet before continuing and it has slowed my progress. I have not gone through the black hole and it’s at 84% right now and I have maxed out the skill points already so it’s kinda useless but anyways this is a great game. I also like how you give the option to watch and ad but never force it which is extremely rare in games that have ads.

Love it, perfect game to zone into. The one game where tapping and idle collections are both robustly designed—two different paths you can take on each level, depending on how your planetary research plays out. Remarkably tuned, nuanced mechanics and upgrades, and a variety of idle options. Downside? Research takes a long time, and you’ll need to buy at least 8 scientists to really get things done. I have 10, using 5 to research, and split the rest between nanobots, irradiation, bacterial evolution, and irradiation. The premium cost of speeding up research, as well as a bunch of other things, doubled a couple of months ago. That was also lame. Content updates could occur more frequently, and perhaps with more significant impact or addition to the game. The updates have mainly been several new supplementary systems, some systems iteration, and fine tuning. Good stuff, but I want more. Because it’s so tightly tuned with such a great aesthetic alignment of systems, it is essentially a five star game. However, because the prices of things using premium currency went up recently, I give Bacterial Takeover 4 stars. Really 4 1/2. It was an unnecessary price increase.

If there could be a way to either increase the rarity level of existing bacteria or increase the odds of getting better rarity bacteria, that would be great. As it is, it could take months of playing to get just one legendary bacteria (it was 2 months of playing every day until I got my first legendary one), and then unless you save it, it would only have a 30% (or 50%) chance of surviving a black hole anyway. Then, in addition to playing against already slim odds of getting a higher rarity bacteria in the first place, you have to hope the added bonus will be one that would work well with mutation with other bacteria or would be beneficial to your goals and play style. The huge luck dependence hurts my enthusiasm for the game, especially in the late game where it becomes much more difficult to advance without amazing high level bacteria. Perhaps there could be a bacteria research option that requires even more scientists and has an increased likelihood of getting one of the rare bacteria types, or an upgrade to let you combine two level 4 bacteria into a random level 1 of the next rarity. It would help give a purpose to the hundreds of common bacteria I have built up that I will never use, and it could help balance things out for people who just have terrible luck with researching bacteria. This is still my favorite idle game, but if you could possibly make rare bacteria a bit more common or have another way to get higher rarity bacteria than just researching and praying to the random number god, it would be greatly appreciated.
