INFESTO by game dynasty
Hello! Infesto is a small turn-based roguelike where you play as parasites. During the game you will have to inhabit the bodies of different creatures to gain health and abilities.
To inhabit a creature - deal lethal damage to it with the "Mind Control" ability
I made this game alone and really want to know if there is potential for such gameplay! Write feedback and I will definitely answer you in kind!
To play, select one of the abilities below by pressing LMB and aim at the enemy
UPD: If the game freezes - press ENTER to restart. The game freezes when you try to use an ability on the wrong unit. For example, if you try to use dog bite or crow mark on your unit - the game will freeze.

A little controls description would be nice.
The pixel art is nice and I love the moving background
The music is on point!
I had a good time ;)
Most enemies prefer healing action even if they have full hp.
Action selection ui requires a click to select, but then only hovering over a different action will change it. So sometimes its easy to use the wrong action.
The abilities were nicely matched with the characters. Good job!
Sadly I could not pass the first (real) fight as the game keeps breaking on me and I am not able to use abilities anymore. But I quite like the mind control idea would have loved to try it more!
The beginning felt a bit abrupt since there's no tutorial or starting menu, but as I continued, I realized that this game doesn't need one. Everything you need to know is right there. If you're confused, just look at the hint! It's surprising and very well executed.
The BGM also reminded me of the good times I had playing Baldur's Gate 3; it gives the game a cozy and nostalgic feeling. Great job on both the art and the gameplay—it all comes together very well!
, very fun game
But this is really a great project, thanks for letting me play it!
