This was fun. I love the artstyle, but I couldn't quite get a handle on the combat. I don't think the smash cut from the guy talking about how much he can't wait to see his daughter to him getting conked over the head with what looked like a giant muffler and dying instantly was supposed to be as funny as it was. This reminds me of that old flash game The Visitor, especially with the design of the parasite. Good stuff.

Hospital for SoulsUGGGGHHHH I HATE PARASITES MORE THAN ANYTHING!!! This was a really good game though with both visuals and music! You hit the nail on the head with the sound effects of the worm thing swapping bodies, it was so grossss! Also so sweet when one of the men were talking about his daughters laugh in the beginning!

Jam with Slime ArmsWhat a cool aesthetic — I really liked it! Beautiful and interesting, and I love that old-school game vibe. The filter turned out really nice too. I also liked the mechanic where the character gets slower when low on health.
If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun

GraverunI really like the PS2 graphics my game followed the same style lol, I really liked the start screen and how it moved around when you moved your mouse that was really cool, i wish i was able to look around better in the game (That's just personal preference) I like the play on the theme dying allows you to become someone else I think that's very cool, I wish that their was more to do but I understand within the time frame that's not very manageable lol, very solid game and concept I'd love to see a full game where you like have to take over body's to blend in and complete puzzles and stuff that would be very cool but over very nice game I liked the visuals and the grunting lol, you did a very fantastic job on this!!

Oddityhahaha wow that was fun! what a neat idea!
the character models remind me of that Heavy Metal game with jack black, the headbanger dudes! the NPC pathing was kind of strange, but this was still a good bit of fun!

Carved by GriefCant go wrong with retro graphics! Its always so fun too see how much people can do in such a short time. I also think the worm/parasite concept was very unique, great work!

Trench of TheseusGood use of the theme, the atmosphere is great and the art style is consistently good. The controls felt surprisingly good too which to me is the most important part of a game. This was very unique experience and it actually has potential to be a full game release in the future. Great job.

DeliveranceVery cool concept and a very effective use of the theme!
I may have played it a bit too much though. I noticed if you can get them between the double dumpster & the protruding wall beam they can't hit you! Also, got really into it at one point and clicked onto another monitor. If you continue it after the jam I'd love to have the mouse locked so I can go feral on them without worries!
