Main website is CureTheGame.com
Play as a virus or even a nanobot and evolve to succeed
It uses real biology to determine how you evolve so you learn while you play without even trying
It even has multiplayer competitive play and tournaments where you can battle friends

I needed this in my life, thanks @OP
theshreksorcist
I need this in my life. My favourite part of spore was the cell stage and this is basically a better version of that. YES!!!!!1111one
ThatAssholeOverThere
Anyone know that game where you get infected with a virus and walk around and try to infect as few people as possible?

Reminds me alot of pandemic
TitaTitanium
that's fucking cool

I played the demo - haven't beaten it yet (pro tip - sulfur is really important). It was hard but I got better after a few fails. I had fun!
Chouilste
Looks neat
QuestionableJuice
Isn't this like Pandemic? It's in the appstore and was a flash game way back in the day?
TonyDorito
Nope, it is more like starcraft 2 and spore than pandemic (which I <3 pandemic, so I take that as a complement) http://imgur.com/bxEyKcS

Was expecting "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" to be top comment, didn't find and was disappointed!

Good but I still couldn't infect Madagascar.

I got that reference!
Ryebread91
TLDR science degrees and research are too expensive so they made a game so millions can be tricked into learning

Waldosbeenwondering
I mean that's cool and all but can you cure me of the game I just fucking lost again.
Immf
2nd time in 24 hours i've now lost the game. :|

Damn, Agario's new graphics look good.
TehStoner
I wonder when they will create a game that makes you a sperms fighting to swim to and the fertilize the egg

It's called Leisure Suit Larry.
gnarlynerdnugget
Finally! A game I can play on my lab work computer while still looking busy!!
BlackEcho
Lol I think that is one of the biggest compliments we have ever received. Thanks.
SvenPek
Yeaaah... I'll support when the game is done and if it is good.
TonyDorito
You can give the demo a try in the mean time for free to get a feel for where the game is going if you would like.
chillerluvcats
Yea you know the way it is suppose to be developed
DustyKub
Soooo the game is on a kickstarter clone with only 1 other game on the whole site... Called gamekicker.. Not sure what to feel
BlackEcho
The website is brand new, and we thought we would give it a try. They are just for indie games, and we liked that idea.
krozzus
How does this compare to plague inc?
arkemiffo
Seems like different genres. One is a strategy game (just setting up possibilities), and one is an RTS (think Starcraft but with viruses)
krozzus
Huh ok. Interesting point. Already somewhat mastered plague inc so im excited to give this a go
Morrigi
They're totally different.
mcphteven
Why the hell administrative rights? They have nothing to do with computer to ask for them, it's just a game.
PrinceUlysses
Plot twist: The cells your virus destroy are folders on your computer.
BlackEcho
We are working on removing the admin rights issue. Hopefully in the next few patches it will be gone.
mcphteven
If you don't install drivers or services, and the user selected other folder than program files - you never needed them in the first place.
Mistruths
This seems like Badware. The demo is garbage, it showcases nothing, hell even magnesium and calcium are mixed up.
WhyCantPeopleUseSmallerUsernames
I have an error saying I dont have admin rights
vzwGrey
Downloaded the Demo. I'm stuck on the Launcher. Doesn't let me play and the loading bar doesn't do anything either. Can anyone help me?
Derp1996
Same here, followed these directions but didn't work for me (1/2, link too long)

Having this same problem, any fixes?

Yabashiri
Time to see if I can get this running on Linux...
Yabashiri
Apparently not. Mono doesn't understand any of it, and there's a lot of text missing under wine
463527818
Damn, was wondering if Mono would work with it - what's the problem?
Yabashiri
Just doesn't recognise the assembly
BlackEcho
We hope to eventually release the game directly to Linux
Yabashiri
Awesome! I look forward to it :o
Pugsleyx
The learning curve in the demo is real.
mastikator
That's evolution for you: LEARN OR DIE

yomamaisonfier
right? absolutely no direction at all. Just "kill the enemy".
Pugsleyx
I managed to get some glucose and make a bunch of soldiers. But i couldn't figure out how to get them to attack, they died and i Alt F4.
yomamaisonfier
I swam around, found some stuff "this isn't in the game yet" oh okay. Found some stuff, right clicked some other stuff, found enemy, quit.
keepitmoving
Well i better try it out before there site goes down
moelmoel
it's already down, can't install it :\
BlackEcho
Hey one of the devs here. Could you tell me a little bit about the problem?
Sololop
How the heck do you run the demo? The launcher sits, with a non-mobile progress bar and a greyed out play button ran and installed as admin.
Leeloothedog
yah... i cant dl it either. shame
BlackEcho
Hey one of the dev's here . Could you explain the problem please?
Leeloothedog
Sure. it lets me DL the installer, then gives me a message "must run as admin" ect. (i am admin of my own pc). open in folder -> 1/2
Leeloothedog
--> Run as admin. then the installer just kind of. stays at 0%.. or rather does not make it to 0%. give me a sec ill screen cap
Leeloothedog
if you find a cure for this bug let me know. id love to play =P
BlackEcho
Hey post on our community forums on our website, and we will send you a direct download so you will not need the installer.
Leeloothedog

Sorry for the trouble we will try to fix this issue.

Looks like a 3d version of Agar.io
BlackEcho
CURE Dev here. Thanks for your awesome energy. You should check out our Game Kicker campaign.
sendmeyournoodsplease
What really makes this game cool is using real science to evolve.
FailFish
damn is it just me being unable to win the first stage of demo or is it extremly difficult?
IFuckingLoveKittens
I would personally like to see this on Steam.
theonlyconsistantthinginlifeisitsinconsistancy
This^^^
BlackEcho
We currently are running a steam greenlight campaign We would love your support.
DarkUranium
How about GOG! I'd buy it there in an instant.
Different55
Any plans to bring CURE to other platforms?
BlackEcho
Right now the plan is to release for PC. We are going to be asking the community what they would like. So we are open to suggestions.
Different55
I mean I'd be ecstatic if you guys ever supported Linux. AFAIK Linux doesn't have a game like this yet.
AngeIa
THIS IS EXCITING! My fave game when I was younger was EVO Evolution (SN). In Cure, how far along can you evolve??? Love this!!
ImgurisluvImgurislife
I loved that game! I still play it on an emulator about once a year
Mistruths
Why does CURE need admin privileges to install?
BlackEcho
We are trying to fix this issue, and it should be fixed in the next couple of patches.
theonlyconsistantthinginlifeisitsinconsistancy
I think it's because its a hand built installer and the computer is quite frankly suspicious of it, so you have to show it who's boss.
theonlyconsistantthinginlifeisitsinconsistancy
I'm not kidding, this is a simplistic representation of whats happening.
Mistruths
Then it's quite frankly broken, as the installer didn't do anything. I had to grab the torrent myself.
SinkorswiMfff
Plot twist; it get progressively more difficult to the point that a gamer called "blazin_weed_69" cures cancer.

Plot twist:the game is designed to cure multiple diseases and when we play we are doing the scientists work for them
Swutty
Wouldn't it be cool if this hole game was an experiment to see if dedicated gamer completionist could cure real diseases. y
Swutty
y'know with out knowing it. So they wouldn't feel any pressure at all while playing.

Basically Stargate Universe then?

I don't want to live in a world where this isn't a possibility.

If someone cures cancer ingame, can it be used in real life?

It should've been xXblazin_weed_69Xx .

Must go deeper
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
There actually IS a game where people have achieved important medical discoveries. I just can't exactly remember what you do or its name...
pichusuperlover
fold it?
NeedMoreMullins
Cards for Humanity
PaliQ
I believe it's a project for mapping out DNA sequences or Genomes... you connect bits and pieces and it's all put in a database to match up
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
Yeah, that rings some bells in my head. I believe you're right.

I didn't even know about it. Good read, thanks!

Foldit is probably the game you're thinking about. There's also Folding@Home but that's a collaborative computing project.

I got that running on 2 boxes, 770GTX and a 970GTX 2x SLI rig. Curing Alzheimer's and heating my room.
Fujusaki
I think you're talking about Foldit. It's a game where you fold proteins and a couple of discoveries have actually been made through it.
DarkGetzeye
There was a protein that was studied for decades and gamers solved it in weeks.
marakesha
Yep, it was a protein impirtsnt for HIV replication, I believe
turmosoritilaatio
I recall some TV show used this as a plot in one of their episodes.
DarkGetzeye
Really? That would of been interesting

yea I think you actually get $1 Million for winning.

You get a cash prize

Thank God! At least the scientists who get the prize will be able to eat something not from the microwave for a while again.

Are cheetos the staple snack of American gamer addicts?
Ashen44
It's mostly just a joke that people who game are just people stuck in their moms basements who do nothing but eat Cheetos and game all day
Jusmar
Doritos are more common, however the cheetos will destroy everything they touch. Including shirts and favorite keyboards.
SomeAngelDude
Cheetoes are used for a joke, because it's the handheld snack in a bag that's most likely to stain everything you touch.
6Gawd
Everything and anything within reach is the staple snack of American gamer addicts.

Except fruits ... Ewww MOOOOOOM! More hotpockets! And bring me a pot, I need to take a dump but I'm in a HFC 25m mythic raid

I prefer Fritos, but are they not where you're from?
markmcn87
I'm sure I could get them here...but they're not popular. Try a bag of Tayto...change your life ha

I'll check 'em out! Thanks!
spookyu
That is sort of the plot to Enders Game but with spaceships and children committing genocide. I love that book.
Eskimo347
Did you read the ones that come after it though?
spookyu
I did indeed.

Me too!
mythsnlore
YOU MEAN ITS NOT JUST A GAME!?
Jusmar
Best twist ever
MoodDaily
My favorite book, but the movie was just insulting
tomyironmane
I got to see what they did to Starship Troopers. You don't get to call the Ender's Game movie insulting.
spookyu
Honestly with those two movies specifically, I judge them independent of the books, and when I do that I think they're fucking awesome.
tomyironmane
No, see, Starship Troopers was fail. I read the book years later, independent of the movie. "WHY ARE THEY USING PUSSY 5.56 ON GIANT BUGS?"
PrometheanHost
The actor choice was on point tho
MoodDaily
No it wasn't. Ender was supposed to be the smallest so he would be the underdog the reader could root for
MoodDaily
Petra was supposed to be a tough badass and they cast the girliest girl they could find and they forced a romance (3/4)
MoodDaily
2 good casts: Harrison Ford and the guy who played Bonso. I fucking loved Rico (4/4)
PrometheanHost
No I really like the acting cast. Granted it wasn't perfect I think most of it was the writer's fault. If the actor for ender was (1/2)
MoodDaily
Instead, he's the tallest making him look more like a bully fighting the short guy. (2/3)
