LudumData

Parasite Quest by Hatscat

[raw]
made by Hatscat for LD25 (JAM)
Made with Stencyl 3.0 beta :-)
I encountered a strange bug with it : I haven't be able to fix the background (cells) :'(
Edit : Stencyl fixed the repeating background bug, it was not my fault, so I just recompiled with the new update :p

I tried something new with sounds/music to change the classical sfx, it took me lot of times, and the result is... different :-D

I'm proud of my quest system and my map, but I lacked time and haven't made a conclusion :-S


Some tips to play :
- You go faster on infected cells;
- More you control cells, less leukocytes appear;
- Eat erythocytes (red ones) heals you;
- It can not be more than 25 leukocytes in the same room;
- It can not be more than 1 bullet on screen at the same time, so : closer you are to your target, faster you can shoot!
- Start to aim easy quests that rewards bonus, they will not disappear if you die!

Have fun! ;-)

It's a great idea and a decent execution, but the mouse control makes it difficult to shoot the white cells.

@Bensonance : you have to press the X key to target white cells without moving.

@lotusgame : that's right that I didn't slept much ^^

Thanks for your comments!

Very impressive game and felt quite polished. As you mentioned, the lack of ending is the only thing that stuck out.

Really good and complex game. Very good sounds. On the bad side the controls are little hard to get use to

Well this was very weird and a strange take on the theme.

This game is so original.
I definitively like the way each action has a different sound, even if it's not always nice and melodic, it contributes a lot to the atmosphere.

Thanks for your comments
@Colapsydo : yeah it was the first time I try that for the sounds, to change, and that took me lot of times ^^

Cool idea. I couldn't figure out how to stick to a board to switch rooms. Controls felt great.

This game felt complete aside from a few small things. It was kind of long, but I enjoyed it enough to play it through. I wish there was more variety in gameplay though.

good stuff here. I loved the sound and the theme is great too. A bit tricky to kill the white cells because when I aimed I just ran right into them.

Woha, pretty long game for a Ludum Dare's One! Very well done, 5/5.

Nice! Very inventive gameplay ideas. Quite difficult when there's a big bunch of whitecells coming for you though.

Pretty interesting, in concept and with the audio.

This was pretty damn fun. A little difficult, but awesome. I would've incorporated WASD steering to make it a little more accessible.

Nice idea and execution in such a short time! Pretty difficult though with all the white cells spawning, can they be stopped or halted somehow?

Thanks all!
@AdventureIslands : Yes, more you control cells, less leukocytes appear! From approximately 5sec to 60sec between two white cells spawning
