Cool Idea! Kept getting stuck while climbing but overall pretty great! Congrats on submitting a game 😎
I love the idea ! I got stuck by the stairs on the 3rd floor. Congrats on the game
Great idea! The climbing is cool and moving from host to host is a really fun idea. Bug: I took over a new host right after the elevator and couldn't move any more. Could still fire though
Neat lil platformer! The theming is on point! Took me a sec to not associate space with jumping but with body swapping so I kept loosing biomass, but that's a player issue lol! One thing that threw me is the sprites aren't quite aligned when you change from facing left to right etc so the character appears to 'jump' across the screen a bit. The sound effects are on point though and the squelch is so gross (great choice!)
This is so cool. I wish the controls were much more snappy. It fits the gooey character to have heavy controls but it hurts my wrists
