Neat concept! I can see this becoming a decent vampire survivors-like game in my head though it may go a different route too.
I couldn't tell if the increased size increased the health of the parasites, so it could be worth highlighting that with UI if that is the case. The projectiles seem to travel varying distances from what I could see, as it would sometimes travel far and other times stop short which might be worth looking at.
Other than that it's probably just going to be UI, indicators etc which I'm realizing was due to the time limit, but great job on getting this out in that time!
Best wishes on the project! :))
Thank you! Could you share the game you're talking about? I haven't heard about it, could be interesting to watch its gameplay
The parasites increase health at increasing size, but we couldn't balance it properly because of time (and also it doesn't show)
The projectiles disappearing too fast is a bug we couldn't patch but will for next version
Time :(
Thank you! We will surely update it!
Ah, no need, here's a link:

Best wishes on the update!
So so, I want to understand how to play well, I recommend that you add more things, for example habilities, light, particles, e.g. . If this game is your first time to create, is a good passed to learn :)
We planned to add a Control menu screen, but time beat us (I'm saying that a lot xd). In the meantime we put the controls in the itch.io description
We had a lot of mechanics in queue but at some point we had to prioritize bug fixing, balancing and game flow (also it would have been confusing because of the lack of sprites). The current habilities are the pill and the drone. Playing with light seems interesting... oh wait you meant illumination haha
good one
Thank you!
We will update it after the game, I hope you will enjoy that version even more
Cool game I guess, I don't really know how to play though. I just kill the white guy and is that all. Maybe add some tutorial.
Yes sorry, time beat us :(
After the Jam we will continue it, including adding a tutorial
This was a fun game. The shooting is a little awkward as you have to move toward the parasites to shoot them. I loved the art, especially the soldier.
Sorry, time beat us :(
We will update the game after the Jam, bugs like this will be patched
Always the way with jams, I totally ran out of time for what I wanted to do too! Still a great job :
