OUTBREAK - spread your pathogen across the world! If the game doesn't load try this TurboWarp Link! https://turbowarp.org/1382951524 HOW TO PLAY Infect at least 80% of the world's population before humanity stops you. Pick a pathogen, choose where the outbreak begins, then evolve it while the days tick by. 1. Choose New Game, then pick a pathogen and a difficulty. 2. Click a country on the map to choose where patient zero appears. 3. Watch it spread. Infection builds up as red dots inside each country and jumps between countries by land, sea and air (planes and ships). 4. Click the bubbles that pop up on the map to earn evolution points (EP), then open Evolve and buy upgrades. 5. Infect the world before the cure is finished. Detection raises research, and research reaching 100% means you lose. CONTROLS Mouse - click countries, buttons and bubbles Drag the map, or Arrow keys / WASD - move the map + / - buttons - zoom in and out Pause / 1x / 2x / 3x buttons - game speed Evolve button - spend EP on upgrades (Transmission, Symptoms, Abilities) Click anywhere - skip the Linear Labs intro TIPS - Infected, Dead and Recovered are shown at the top. Recovery only begins after a few weeks, so spread early. - Severe symptoms kill people, but they also raise detection. Balance them. - Watch the news ticker and the Detection and Research bars. - Airports and ports (the little plane and anchor badges) connect distant countries. - Each pathogen has different strengths: Bacteria, Virus, Fungus, Parasite, Prion. - Difficulties: Casual, Normal, Hard. A faster win and fewer EP spent give a higher score. - A full game takes roughly 5-10 minutes at normal speed. SAVING AND LEADERBOARD Save - shows a save code for your current game. Copy it to keep your progress. Load Game - paste a save code to continue where you left off. Leaderboard - top scores for each difficulty. Scores are only posted when you are logged in to Scratch and the project is shared.
Made by LinearLabs. All art, interface, sound effects and music were made from scratch for this project (no assets copied from other projects). OUTBREAK is an original game based off Plague Inc. The pathogens and events are fictional and not based on any real outbreak. World map based on Natural Earth data (public domain): naturalearthdata.com Thanks for playing! Tell me in the comments which pathogen won for you and how fast you infected the world. UPDATE 1: Leaderboard only supported seven characters; fixed to 20 characters UPDATE 2: Leaderboard was not working; fixed it by making refresh rate faster Hashtags ---
