DESCRIPTION
Germs is a game that combines quick thinking with even quicker reflexes as players manipulate scads of colorful, killer pathogens in order to neutralize a biological threat and save humanity.

The gameplay is quite simple, relying at its core on the "pick pieces up and place them on the gameboard" model used in several games such as MacPipes. In Germs, the player picks up germ sprites from a "culture dish" and arranges them on the gameboard in patterns of the same color to make them disappear.

Germs' main features are:

  • Gorgeous artwork in thousands of colors
  • Six different animated germs-some cute, some nasty, all dangerous!
  • 35 different levels of pulse-pounding puzzle action
  • Beginner and Expert skill levels-choose what's right for you
  • A fully-interactive tutorial to teach you the ropes
  • 2 original electronic music tracks
  • The ability to play your favorite mp3s as background music
  • Multi-channel stereo sound effects
  • Online scores

CORPSECORPS  The registration may be fixed for Leopard, but other items need some adjustment.

If you pick full screen, it reduces the resolution to a very small size, so when you quit, every other window you had open has been crunched down to 640x480!

I keep Mail, Photoshop, and a Browser open most of the time and at specific window sizes and layouts. Don't much appreciate them being smashed.  (Version 1.3)

JOHN  Very cool. Nice graphics, good sound. The germs are very cute actually -- you almost feel bad for getting rid of them :) The demo itself has a fair amount of play (the expert mode is much more interesting), but you'll definitely have to register if you want to get some real time-wasting out of this one.  (Version 1.2.4)

WEIR2000  1.1.1 still doesn't fix the problem of the app quitting shortly after launch, so my previous advice still holds: avoid this dog and stick with version 1.0.  (Version 1.1.1)

WEIR2000  Better stick with version 1.0: this version "unexpectedly quits" immediately upon launch.

(400 MHz G3; OS 10.1.5)  (Version 1.1)
