Plagues main objective is to get you to create an infection and see if you can have it spread across the world starting with patient zero. You customize your virus along the way allowing it to mutate and spread across the globe. The design of the app itself is very well done with retina supported graphics. Beautiful charts and maps are included in the game to see the progress of your virus and hows its spreading.
You get to develop your virus throughout the game in multiple ways. Transmissions allow you to decide how the virus is transmitted be it by air, livestock, water supply, and so on. Next up are the symptoms of the virus, what it does to its patients ultimately your goal is for it to cause death. Lastly are its abilities, this allows you to create resistance to your virus to different climates of the world and resist that off cure/medication. As your virus continues to grow and spread it gains momentum on the governments radar as they race to find a cure to your virus. This speeds up the clock and requires you to get what are called DNA points quicker in order to put them into developing your virus.
