Galactic Pandemic

A text-based strategy game where you control a pathogen and attempt to infect all planets in a star system.

Game Description

In Galactic Pandemic, you play as a bioengineered pathogen with the goal of infecting and destroying all civilizations in a dynamically generated star system. You'll evolve your pathogen while competing against planetary defenses, interstellar travel restrictions, and random cosmic events.

Features

• Planetary System: Navigate through a system of 5 unique planets, each with their own characteristics
• Multiple Pathogen Types: Choose from different pathogen types with unique abilities
• Evolution System: Spend mutation points to evolve your pathogen's transmission, lethality, and stealth
• Random Events: Experience various cosmic events that can help or hinder your progress
• Multiple Difficulty Levels: Choose between Easy, Medium, and Hard modes
