I had a great with this game, my initial horror expectations were subverted after that intro haha! I loved being a little parasite lad. Also, the handheld console idea was brilliant. I loved how the buttons reacted to my input!
The levels were perhaps a little large imo with a lack of things to do in them, despite having more people I could headlatch. I felt no motivation to eat the bad vibes of those regular people. I was also a little confused by my resulting negative score despite avoiding the majority of the good vibes but perhaps I overlooked something.
Overall I think this is an excellent game, top notch execution of the idea. Now how can we make this parasite friend real? XD
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The score was definitely a bit of an afterthought, as it punishes you heavily (-500) if you get spotted by someone x) Needs a bit of rebalancing! The other characters are just there for higher score really, and to give you something to sneak by if you fancy. Appreciate you taking the time to give feedback, it's useful thank you!
Ah that would explain why my score was quite so negative. I may have overlooked the stealth mechanic, and I quite enjoyed seeing their spooked reactions XD
I absolutely adored this, this was so cute and funny and so well executed. The art style, writing, and framing worked really well for me - the darkness of the framing cut scene especially.
Also I need a plush of the little worm friend, she's so cute!
Thanks so much! I'll start working on the merch line ;D
Genuinely one of my favourites so far, I had so much fun with this on stream! The concept, gameplay, story, art style were all really well done! It makes me want to live my life as a little parasite alien who climbs walls and eats brains :)
Thanks so much! It was fun watching you play it!
The artstyle is pretty neat and I also enjoyed the atmospheric intro.
Thank you!
I really like the art, and the concept/mechanics is quite good. The only issue was that sometimes the minigame moved too quickly to be able to react easily
Fair point, it was hard to balance! The grey characters are all randomised so you might have got a difficult batch too :D Glad you enjoyed it in general though~
