How does you game relate to the theme of "Parasite"?
You play as a parasite that must take over the bodies of enemies in order to survive and gain their abilities.

It's a very Hotline Miami esk game. I enjoyed it, and even figured out the stratagem to beat the game without upgrades.

I think this would be really cool if developed into a full standalone game. The combat is fun and the room transitions are super smooth and really help with the polish.

Really cool mechanics! I like how you must first stun the enemies before hosting them, adding a layer of depth to the gameplay. I also like the added polish like how collecting the key card changed the music a bit. One thing is the player feels a bit slow which makes traversing through completed rooms a little tiring. While not a big issue, it could help with game feel here. Great game for just 48 hours! There’s a lot of possibilities for future enemies and mechanics here!

The intro sequence is very smooth, and the infection concept is really well done. I think the end screen should've provided the option to buy upgrades and play again since I missed the upgrades on my first playthrough by not dying.

Nice game concept, I like the inclusion of background lore in the form of an intro cutscene, and an in-game tutorial is a nice touch! Tackles the theme on very precisely, awesome work!

We ended up having a similar idea with the whole "mind control" parasite thing lol! I really like your interpretation. Acid seems very strong here, maybe you could have it so you can only use acid when not in host form? Overall great game!

Never expected Parasite Miami, but I'm so here for it haha! Can genuinely see this becoming a sick twin-stick shooter in the future.
