Many thanks to those participating in the project.

How to play:
Dodge enemy's bullets and weaken them for the hijacking. 

Controls: Keyboard & Mouse

SKILLS Skitter:

  • LMB: Lob a ball of mucus at targeted location. Applies a mucus stack. Mucus applies a slight slow and burn effect to the target. At 3 stacks, the target gets inflicted with Parasites. This status effect reduces damage output by 50%, turns the character to the Player's side and makes it target its previous allies. When a character with Parasites reaches 25% HP they become stunned and eligible for a Hijack.
  • Space: Short dash towards movement direction. Can dash through projectiles.
  • LMB (Hijack): Hijacks an eligible host body, using it to transform into the Biomorph. The host body has a finite integrity and will keep constantly decaying, accelerated by taking damage. When the host body is consumed, the Skitter has to abandon it and find a new host.

Biomorph:

  • LMB: Tentacle slash attack.
  • Space: Leap at targeted area, deals heavy damage and knocks away enemies on landing. Can leap over projectiles and attacks.
  • RMB: Shoots out tendrils towards targeted direction and pulls the first enemy hit back into the player. Low health enemies get executed when pulled in. Cannot pull bosses or sentries and only deals damage instead.
  • R: Transforms and explodes all organic enemies in range. Bosses don't explode but receive heavy damage instead.

Hijack mechanic is cool! I like the vibe and the abilities/cooldowns. I didn't see a high score or wave count, so idk how well I did.
