Description
Space Parasite (Doom Machine) lets the player take control of a small orb hovering around in space. You must infect enemies and destroy them to collect gems that will help you grow and unlock new secrets. Customize from various power-ups and enemies to find the best combination.
Kramlack and I made this a while back, but we had no luck in our months-long search for sponsors. So, sponsorless yet no worse-for-wear, we give you Space Parasite. We hope you enjoy it.
Sloopygoop did one of the songs, while Squirrelsquid did the other, as well as the space backgrounds. The initial game design and prototype was done by Sam Morrison.
How to Play
Use the Mouse or arrow keys to fly the space parasite into monsters, eating them and turning them into crystals. Higher chains and more crystals collected will net you more points. See the tutorial for more info
Here are some additional instructions if the tutorial doesn't do it for you:
. Use the arrow keys and A or Z or the mouse to navigate menus.
. Move during play with either the arrow keys or the mouse.
. Move the Parasite into an enemy to infect it, and click or hit an arrow key again to destroy that enemy, blasting the Parasite in the specified direction.
. Every 10,000 points, a special enemy will appear if you have selected a powerup. Kill this enemy to activate the selected powerup.
. Kill several enemies without letting the chain drain to rack up a large combo.
. When time runs out, the score is counted up. Try for the highest score in one run. Improve your skills, choose the most effective selection of enemies and powerups, and use the combo system to get higher scores

I found that the upgrade pattern enhanced gameplay which to me was very responsive. As in when i went up the avatar when up.
The option of choosing the enemies faced and power up(s) available added a satisfying layer when going for high scores.
Nicely done.

Really funny game. I liked it. Especially the kind of control (Fast Jumping between the enemys), which needs fast reaction time.

interesting but the controls are wack, the arrow and the mouse both do very little to influence the motion it's mostly luck. other then time and enemies I saw very little effect from upgrading the others 2/5
