You are a highly advanced parasite designed to destroy the human race! Run into human ships to infest them and take control for yourself.

Controls:

Move: WASD, Arrow Keys or stick

Attack: Spacebar (only when in a ship), A on controller

Eject: Left shift or B on controller

Pause: Escape

The game currently only has three levels and about 7 ships. Some of the known issues:
-You can't pause on a controller
-No pause menu or way to quit out of the game in full screen mode
-The game may behave weirdly when rapidly pausing and exiting pause
-Errors might pop up in development mode when killed. Sorry! We knew about this but couldn't fix it in time.

We wanted to include a boss battle or some more formal ending to the game but ran out of time near the end. Same goes for Music, while we have basic sound effects an actual theme would've been great.

*Linux and Mac version are the least tested. Sorry if you come across any issues!*
If you do full screen alt-f4 to quit

Genres: shooter

Awesome concept. I just wish there was more of it. XD

This game was really cool. I really enjoyed the gameplay, capturing other ships is a blast. The only thing that I didn't like with this game was that it was very difficult. Also, I found this bug where the life counter goes down into the negative numbers. The graphics in this game was also really cool. Good entry overall 4/5.

Couldn't fire, couldn't occupy a ship, not sure how to, but will check back on this and vote later! Congrats on getting it in.

I like the concept, however there is an issue with the lives, as they go into negative. Graphics were pretty good, reminding me of Galaga.

I think that lives are supposed to show how many times you die...

Nice fun game. Simple and difficult but not frustrating. Loved that retro style. Good work.

The game is quite hard and you can't really tell which ships you can infect. Cool concept otherwise!

wow! amazing idea. it's really fun to be able to 'absorb' the enemy.

Doesn't work in Linux. Keyboard controls don't work. This appears to be a problem with Unity as I've encountered it before. Didn't rate.

Hahahaha we laughed a lot! Our game writer doesn't like happy ending either :D. The sound during conversation it's a bit annoying
