I love the concept of being the parasite, and it fits the theme well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's reasonably amusing, but doesn't have any long term gameplay value really.  It is fun to watch the infection spread and wipe out the whole system, but only for a time.  It feels like pretty much the same thing every time, and once you're out of uses to infect cells, your control is so limited that you may as well just sit back and watch.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sounds are okay, simple beeps, but they do the job.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics however... rather bare.  A black background, and simple blurred spheres.  For the sake of both atmosphere and graphics, a game like this should optimally feel really like the inside of a living creature, not like some sort of space billards (you've been watching too much red dwarf I'm guessing).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall decent presentation, fun and amusing to play, but not for very long."}],"images":["ld24\/11933-3f4345be80d317a73d46341f771c7ef3.jpg","ld24\/11933-f4769986bd1f572581b443ab5292d5b5.jpg","ld24\/11933-b1ac99ef0784a05940f4681a6ffe107d.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/13486674\/LD48\/Parasite\/LD48_ParasiteDist.rar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/13486674\/LD48\/Parasite\/LD48_ParasiteDist.rar","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/13486674\/LD48\/Parasite\/LD48_ParasiteDist.rar","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/13486674\/LD48\/Parasite\/LF48_ParasiteSrc.rar","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"29657","g_author":"11933","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"29687","g_title":"Parasite","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"1","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/11933-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/11933-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/11933-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Requires a current version of Java to run.\r\nControls etc are described in-game.\r\n\r\nYou a deadly infection, have just on goal: \r\nInfest all healthy cells to destroy the organism and win the game, but beware the evil antibodies, that try to neutralize your mutated cells!\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy this little game : )<\/p>","title":"Parasite"}
