I played your game on my stream, loved the symbiote selection menu and the transitions, that's lovely detail ! A bit scary as first but once you exploit the mechanics of your symbiote it becomes much easier ! As i said maybe work a bit on the camera but good job to your team.

Thanks so much for playing it! We were all screaming for you to try a different host as well as a different parasite because they all feel so different, but we loved watching you beat the boss with the tanky host and drill weapon combo. Great stuff, developing that very careful method of singling out an enemy, backing into the food and so on! Brilliant stuff.

This game is really good!!! I enjoyed the concept, art and music. I also enjoyed playing about with the different abilities you could unlock. All in all great game :)

I enjoyed playing this, the art style is very consistent throughout and the variance in gameplay is good too; nice work!

Really cool game! With some more work ithink this game could be a full release, the core concept is really cool! The controlls are a bit funky, but other than that, great job!

Thanks! Yeah, we went for a different use of WASD with each host, but that does complicate things in a way.

Really cool concept, it's fun unlocking abilities and changing your symbiote. It felt  polished as well, impressive! The movement controls with both the keys and the pointer was a little confusing though, perhaps only following the mouse pointer + a key to stand still would feel more intuitive? Great work!
