LD38: Primordial Ooze

Play as a primordial bacteriophage on an alien world, and take over various coccus-type microbes.

WASD to move. Left and right click to perform attacks/injection. Mouse wheel to change size.

Dash attack (left-click) to damage and immobilize enemies. While immobilized, Inject (right-click) into them to discover more enemy microbes (which can also be injected into). Each microbes contains DNA traits that can raise or lower the microbe’s attributes. Inject into the nucleus to take over the host, and fight against other enemies… or just burst out of them to destroy them completely (and restore your health).

Stat changes in child microbes propagate upwards to their hosts, all the way up to the highest-level microbe. Try working your way wall the way down to the root of each enemy, raising as many attributes as you can before finally taking over the top-most microbe!
