the drawings of different bugs were really cool, made me want to explore and discover others! also love the creative sound effects

it was a little rough having to go back to the "end turn" button. also, I wasn't sure what the numbers meant? both on the bottom left and the one that appears on top of the enemy.

Well done. Good gameplay. Particularly liked the concept of choosing between healing or taking over the host. Certainly can be developed into a full game.

Really cool pokemon-esque game. The concept of choosing between healing or taking over a new host is really unique and I think has a lot of potential. I did find the difficulty a bit high for me and it seemed like random encounters happened a bit too frequently. Other than that, the biggest feedback I would give is that once you use up your action points, it should end your turn rather than having to navigate back to the back button and then down to end turn. That said, these are all pretty small things and I think with a bit more time and polish this could be a pretty fantastic game.

Really like the core gameplay concept here, with the whole consume/infect system.
