Ranked from 5 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The little creature you play as (the symbiote) is weak without a host, and dies with one bullet shot. So the Symbiote is stronger when it takes control of a host and can fight back and survive more bullets.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Nope.

I like it, really fun! Hard to take control of people because it isn't so clear when the character is "on their heads".
Don't know how to feel about the first-person view: it's hard to control without a host but it gives a great feeling of power when you posess someone! Could make the transition a bit smoother and it's perfect.

I agree, thanks for the feedback :)

I did like the idea of being a symbiote but the controls made it really hard for me to get into.

I love the concept of this and is a very creative idea, it is a quite hard to control and the sensitivity is quite low. Good game.
