Description:Bacteria Bash is a relatively simplistic game. The background is comprised of the organs in a human body. Bacteria appear on the screen, and you must tap the bacteria as many times as possible before it moves to a new spot. A random amount of points are added for each time the bacteria is hit, and a random amount of points is deducted for each miss. The hits have to be somewhat precise, though missing due to hitting the wrong area is rare. A nice feature is that the game saves your most recent score and shows it to you as you play the game.Bacteria Bash
Your human body has a deadly bacteria, and you have sent a robot into your body to eliminate it. You control the robot with a computer, and you must tap the bacteria in order to weaken it. How many times can you tap the bacteria? What is your highest score?

How many taps can you get?What's new

- New campaign map
- Fixed a bug with the freezing power-up
There are 3 campaigns to play, all of which are easy to beat. The first campaign is to achieve a score of 100 before the clock runs out. The second campaign is to get 100 taps on the bacteria before the clock runs out. The third campaign has no real goal, but the bacteria is wearing a pirate costume.
This game is okay. It would be better suited to a free app, because there's simply not enough content to be overly engaging. The design is good, and the concept is good; it's just missing something. Perhaps if each campaign got progressively harder with varying levels, instead of a single mini-game being the extent of it, it would have more play time. Different difficulty settings would also help, and new levels would be nice (Perhaps with 2 or more bacteria?). I just can't imagine many people spending money on an app that doesn't have either at least an hour of good gameplay or strong replay value.
Overall impression: 5/10
Value for your money: 5/10
