The interesting thing about me is my complete lack of interesting characteristics, which in of itself is not very interesting.

fantastic game, but just a bit short.

"An enjoyable game but here are a few suggestions"
I know that the game is just made in the spirit of fun, but here are a few suggestions for #3 (I loved numbers 1 and 2 both).
1)
In both versions of the game everyone who got infected was doomed to death. In reality this would not be the case as a certain percentage of the population would be immune and a certain percentage would survive infection.
2)
Just because borders are closed does not mean that people will not get through and it certainly does not mean that air-born, water-born and pest born disease could not get through. This opens up some interesting possibilities for the news feed: "Scores of Koreans were slaughtered at the border of China where they were fleeing a disease which has decimated their home country. Many governments and individuals are appalled by Korea's actions. " Etcetera.
3)
It would be nice to see some dynamic population density maps (you could use flash's bitmap data class for this). You should have them for population, infected population, contaminated water supply, etc, all done in different colours or something.
4)
You could include side effects to the disease. Economic collapse as nations quiver in fear and lose trading partners, starvation as infrastructure falls apart, Coup d'état, the possibilities are endless.
All in all a fun game, but it has a lot more potential.

Thanks for the review and your thoughts!
For #1 though, in Pandemic 2 there is a small chance of people being cured if there are active hospitals in their region :P
I specifically love 3 and 4.

Is it real 3d though, or just prerendered; I am asking because I didn't see any axis rotations. Anyway nice game, but you might want to make the ship easier to control and to add better music. The art work could use a bit of improvement come to think of it, but all in all a good game.

I liked how well you did the pseudo 3d. Was it done with Papervision, Sandy or your own engine?
Anyway, you might want to consider using vector art in your next games or using real 3d models instead of sprites, it will make the game look better (not that it doesnt already look good). Different, more lively music wouldn't hurt either.
Anyway, keep up the nice work.

Quite honestly you should think about making this into an actual game for download on xbox live or psn.
I think that it has real potential.

It was fun but pretty generic, also I doubt that that was true 3d. It might have been but because there were no rotation I am guessing that that was just a perspective altered API render?
Anyway, keep up the nice work. :)

Actually, the engine is true 3D. I originally had turning in the game, but it just wasn't as fun. I hope to make a sequel or similar game that will take advantage of the full 3D capabilities.

I've seen you post on the bbs and you are often a self righteous ass, but don't let these jealous assholes (like the guy before me) get you down.
I for one usually enjoy your cartoons; even if the ideas get recycled a bit, but it is better then 99 percent of the stuff on the portal and each progressive episode usually brings something at least slightly new.
Don’t let these people get you down but please lighten up a bit and get your head out of your own ass.
