### 4/5 — Extremely difficult

*2013-01-15, version 1.0*

If you've ever wanted to become an infection expert, this game is your trainer. It has one of the hardest AIs I've encountered, even on medium, comparable to chess AIs. The hex variations are a little more strategic than the square versions, but this makes up for that with taunts plus sublime graphics and music.

If only it had online multiplayer! It could be awesome.

### 4/5 — It reminds me of hexagon

*2012-05-05, version 1.0*

There used to be an old DOS game called Hexxagon.  This is like a square version of that. I love thus game.  I just wish I could play it online with my friends.

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2012-03-06, version 1.0*

This is a remake of the classic microscope game from The 7th Guest, and it looks and plays great. Be warned, the AI will not go easy on you, it's quite challenging! If I had one complaint, it would be the audio. The great slurping sound the amoebas made when they split is gone, and on top of that the new music really doesn't feel like it fits in The 7th Guest at all, I'd have preferred they kept the original music by The Fat Guy in instead. One good thing about the audio however is the return of Stauf, I can't believe they got the original actor to come back and record new taunts, what a great addition! Overall a fun and challenging game.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2011-08-28, version 1.0*

I really enjoy this game.

### 5/5 — If I Can Beat Ol' Stauf, You Can!

*2011-08-14, version 1.0*

I just picked up an iPad and finally got to play The 7th Guest: Infection.  I managed to beat Old Man Stauf on the 2nd level, but after that it just gets extremely difficult to beat the AI.   Mad props to the few that can pull it off at the most difficult level. The design work that went into this little app also sets it apart from the more generic abstract puzzle games.  You'll really appreciate the new Stauf taunts if you've played The 7th Guest before.  So if you're really good at puzzles and you're smarter than me (which you probably are), then pick this one up.  You'll get mad at Stauf, but it feels good when you finally get even with him.  Or you can just play a friend.

### 5/5 — love it

*2011-07-23, version 1.0*

when is 11th hour coming out??

### 5/5 — Truly awesome!

*2011-07-17, version 1.0*

Definitely cool

### 5/5 — Fun yet frustrating,

*2011-06-20, version 1.0*

will be playing for some time to come!

### 5/5 — Tough but fun

*2011-06-20, version 1.0*

Worth a buck as a standalone puzzle, and very challenging. I would be interested to know which level corresponds to the puzzle as it was in 7th Guest back in the day.

### 5/5 — Addictive game!

*2011-05-07, version 1.0*

One of those games that keeps you on the tip of your seat, with amazing graphics and cheeky comment! Fun to play with your family and friends. Not a easy game but makes you use your peanut for a change :)

### 1/5 — AI Cheats

*2023-01-27, version 2.0*

The AI gets to do moves the player is not allowed to do. Terrible to play

### 1/5 — Too hard to be fun

*2018-12-02, version 2.0*

Title says it all!! 👎🏼

### 1/5 — Would be great if it worked

*2016-10-24, version 1.0*

Great puzzle from one of the greatest games ever created. This app, however, does not open properly and a window pops up that prevents any interaction with the app.

### 1/5 — 1 star for supporting occupy....

*2012-05-02, version 1.0*

Maybe if you complain to Apple they'll redistribute some of Angry Birds' stars to you...

### 1/5 — Stop asking me to rate app

*2011-05-16, version 1.0*

When you buy app the game shouldnt keep asking you to rate it. Very annoying. Otherwise it's a good port of microscope game.

### 2/5 — Underwhelming

*2012-05-01, version 1.0*

I guess it's a good thing that they redid it without any sort of animation?  The AI is still there, but the moving cell animations are not only lacking, but nonexistent!  The cells just kind of fade to the other color.  Seems like a lazy port to me.

### 3/5 — Love it, but it freezes

*2016-09-24, version 1.0*

Whenever I hit either of the two buttons at the bottom, the game freezes. I have to unload the game from memory and relaunch it. I'll give it five stars when they fix this.

BTW, I'd really like to have multiple board variations, too! Thanks!

### 3/5 — Great but has a Bug

*2015-01-05, version 1.0*

The app does not allow you to reset a game once a game has been completed. Other than that, it's great. This bug appeared after ios8.

### 3/5 — Not as good as in 7th guest but still fun

*2012-04-04, version 1.0*

I guess the disappointment was the graphic depiction of the viruses as they gobbled each other up.  It made the microscope puzzle in the game more fun to play.

### 4/5 — Fun but needs to fix the 'reset' bug

*2015-03-21, version 1.0*

I can't seem to reset the game. It's very fun though, especially knowing the history behind 7th guest

### 5/5 — Great game!

A wonderful reimaging of the original microscope puzzle; a new song, new voiceovers, different difficulties, and great graphics! The only thing that could make this better would be network play
