You can use them to purchase powerful upgrades or to increase bacteria production.

Gameplay

Bacterial Takeover is a free-to-play incremental game for Android and iOS devices where you play as a mad scientist who is bent on destroying the Universe with infectious bacteria.


Initially, you will only be able to produce bacteria by tapping on the screen, but you will quickly unlock the ability to spawn new ones automatically.


Different upgrades will let you increase production when not tapping or when tapping for extended periods of time, letting you specialize in idle or active gameplay as well as switch between the two.


As you progress further in the game, new research options and game mechanics will be revealed. It will help you greatly when attacking increasingly difficult planets.

“Addicting game play that keeps bringing you back.”

“Super addicting. Tapping started to hurt my fingers, so I just boosted the non-tapping growth instead. It sounds weird but this game us super fun because you can play it without doing much, or put a lot of thought into strategy and play a lot. It doesn’t seen to penalize you for trying something different, which is nice. It’s one of the few games I can put down for 12 hours and not worry that I’ll miss something important.”

“Loving this game, been playing for a few weeks now. A fantastic idle clicker that really maximises the idle part. Also doesn’t use a ton of battery life which is a plus!”
