Summarise your game!
You are a sentient biological weapon that escaped containment. To survive, you must hop from host to host, constantly devouring fresh biomass.
It’s stealth, survival, and strategic body-hopping—wrapped in a fast-paced, violent escape story.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You are a biological weapon.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Spread the love y'all

We apologise for the delayed feedback:
For a game that is usually not my style, this was really fun to play. I think you have a nice and unique interpretation for the Theme, which definitely sets you apart. The artwork and overall design for the game was fantastic, i did notice that some of the shooting animations aren't shooting in the correct direction, its worst when you are climbing above them. The use of music was good, but it wasnt anything that particularly stood out to me. It would be great if you could implement a more custom approach to the score with reactions to different actions taken in game. The idea that I thought could work is when you switch to a new host, changing the music. This will indicate that you have changed life form, and you could make it so the music gets faster as you lose biomass.
The GDD was short but contained some useful information. It would have been nice to see this a little more fleshed out, but that is one of the issue of a time constraint like the Game Jam.
Overall the game is a fantastic entry, please keep developing it. Great Job!
Cool game with a cool concept. I would have liked to see more mechanics or cutscenes fleshed out around the theming of the biomass guy. Unfortunately, I kept running into a bug where I'd possess multiple people and get killed because my projectile would shoot out of the guy who was not next to the guy who was shooting me with a gun.
The wall climb was a cool change of pace for a pseudo-platformer like this and I could see more being done with it.
I immediately starting grinning when I realized what the concept was. Super clever idea! I ran into and issue where hitting space bar would launch my host guy from a previously dead crew mate instead my active one.
It's a fun take on making a "puzzle" platformer, with stealth mechanics.
Though it could use some all round polish, especially when the player dies, as the game kind off continues in the background.
But a solid game, well done.
I'm not sure how to get over the wall after infecting the second guy. But looking at your screenshots i got mixed up on which walls were climbable. I went back and played again and got farther!! Great artwork, great theme, Really nice job!
Nice game! Loved the concept and theming. Controls were slightly glitchy, but other than that it was great
