How does you game relate to the theme of "Parasite"?
The player is a being that lives off the mana of other beings and can control their bodies and slowly kill them like a parasite.

A very creative take on the term parasite. You could also say that humanity is a parasite for taking the moons mana. I like the art and the vibes. Although I will say I had a hard time distinguishing mana from the stars in the background at first.
I love the art and the vibes of this game! The story is really interesting, I’d love to learn more about it. The gameplay too is pretty cool, especially with the parasite theme and infecting other bodies to control them. I think the game can be a bit unclear at times with what is mana and where to go next (I didn’t realize at first that the clusters of stars is mana that I can collect, I thought it was just background, whoops lol). But overall, really cool!
The intro is really cool, awesome art! I like the concept you went for with the gameplay as well!
Being able to take control of enemies is a very interesting mechanic. The intro art looks very polished, and the pixel art in game is solid as well. Sometimes the mana blends into the background in a way where it's hard to see where to go next, but it's not a huge issue since I was able to complete the game in a few attempts.
I appreciate the feedback , thanks for playing!
