I really like the capture mechanic but found it quick challenging really quickly after waiting a while for enemies to spawn. Regardless after a few attempts and getting into a groove I thought the game was really unique and had a good time with it. Nice work on the sound design too!

Game Description
ASSECLA! You are an alien lifeform who has been trapped and research in a laboratory trying to unearth the secrets behind your existence. Today that all changes. The facility is impregnable and is not something you will be able to escape, however, they will not keep you trapped without a fight! Force your way through an increasing horde of laboratory enemies, making them pay for their vicious acts against you! This game was made over the course of one week with a team of three for the Godot Wild Jam #67.

Scientist when possessed by me:
Love the alien animations. Possess mechanic seemed a bit buggy--my minions wouldn't always attack, and they didn't often (ever?) draw fire from enemies. It's very VERY easy to get overwhelmed with enemies in this game, largely due to the fact that 1) enemies have collisions, and 2) you basically only have access to melee attacks. Biomass perks were a great addition (it would've been nice to have some icons in the corner or something showing which ones you'd collected).
Fantastic work for a jam game!

Thank you for playing! And yes, I would have loved for the possessed to draw fire from enemies. Due to the constraint of the jam, this could not be done, but I would love to see this realized post-jam.
