You've got a good foundation there. I like the sneezing and infecting, but that's all that I felt was there so far, as you're aware. Would like to play this more developed, and see where it goes.
Sounds like you had some nice ideas there. The theme of a parasite is quite an original take on it. I don't think I can rate it as is, because there isn't quite enough there.
Hey, it's like Paradroid! :-)
Perhaps some sort of timed maze sequence would have helped make it feel more gameish.
Yeah, I realize it's not really a flesh out game yet. Unfortunately I was stuck doing tutorials for the first 24 hours like I said, or I would have had time to really finish. Oh well, there's always next LD48.
This was my first LD48, so if submitting something that's not fully fleshed out is considered bad form, I apologize!
Unlucky, it was an interesting idea and I'd liked to have seen what sort of game could be made using this theme particularly if the humans were moving about doing stuff and you had to try to blend in with them as much as possible and maybe you have to try try to posess another one while nobody else is looking. I hope Beth liked it! :)
Kudos for trying, and especially for learning a whole new language and framework during the competition! You deserve a sticky gold star for that ;)
Would have been great if it had all come together, and I'm looking forward to the next version. Best of luck!
I don't have anything to add to what other people have already said, but I agree that this is an idea that could turn into something great!
Congrats on learning as3 enough to make scrolling movement.
@Alan Thank you for the sarcasm...
Sarcasm? I always find making scrolling movement difficult. I don't know if your version does this, but removing the off-screen graphics is a bit tricky.
Definitely worth fleshing out -- it's a solid base just begging for a little more...
My apologies then Alan. For whatever reason just sounded sarcastic to me. Text never was good for tone in conversation. ;D
