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.

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
