About the game

Vaccine is a Minesweeper-inspired roguelike where you use logic and limited medicine to cure the infected. Each level is procedurally generated, offering endless puzzling challenges. Deduce who's sick, heal carefully, and scavenge for more supplies—mistakes are costly, but hope is contagious.

Very fun game if you're looking for a game that you can play in short bursts or for several hours. It plays exactly like Hexcells with the proximity indicators like Minesweeper but on a hex grid. It's a bit of a survival game in which you have spare "Medicine". Medicine is like your HP, when you make an incorrect move, you lose medicine. If you run out of medicine, the game ends and your stage becomes your current…

Fun short burst game - but with one caveat that would make it perfect. There are too many random selection levels. The longer you go on, the logic clears 80% of the board, but you end up with one or more 'either one or the other' choices that just end runs prematurely so often it feels unfair. So, I'm saying I recommend because for .99 it's a nice brief diversion, but it is a flaw that makes me not want to play it…

The game looks like fun, but is absurdly simple - it's only things you see on video. No other modes, no other mechanics, no achi, no cards, nothing... The biggest sin of the game is that many tmies you have to guess... and you lose medicine, and game over. Most of the time you lose becouse rng, not your skills and only thing you can do is start over boring levels... Remember that you can refund game.
