Cordyception

Description:

Play as the parasitic fungal witch Cordy in this puzzle-platformer! Possess the bodies of helpless bugs to gain new abilities and complete puzzles.

As a fungus, Cordy can only survive on dirt and grass blocks. Touching stone will kill her as there is nowhere for the mycelium to spread.

Each bug has a primary and secondary ability-- the secondary ability may be used multiple times, but the primary ability will kill the bug as it exerts the last of its energy.

Notes and Tips:

- When un-posessing a bug, you have a slight upward boost like a "double jump"
- Similarly, when un-possessing bugs also retain a bit of their original momentum
- Abilities like Wall Climb and Excavate Dirt require being against a wall
- The player cannot survive on stone unless they are either possessing a bug or also touching dirt
