Reviews for "Parasite X"

Great Idea!

Its a fun game from what I played, reminds me of a missile defense game, defending a grounded target, except your not shooting anything. Yet so very different.

I like the idea, your a parasitic organism, feeding off of the hosts blood cells, before they reach a certain point, what point would that be?

The music fit very well, as if the music describes a parasite, and what its doing the host's body, as if the host will eventually eat so many blood cells to the point of the host getting sick from lack of immunities and eventually dying out. and also the music is fitting, a good theme to be deep inside a body causing havoc. It reminds me of that game here on NG as well, pandemic, your a virus, trying to get the whole world sick through smart tactics, trying to get every single country infected, before some countries get smart, and either block off their water sources, boats or airplanes coming from the infected countries. Get any ideas from that game by any chance? I'm in no way saying that you stole an idea, just curious.

I liked the upgrade system, I'm sure it proves very useful later on, keeps the game interesting, a shame without it.

Good controls and graphics as well, the controls were smooth and easy to get used to, and the graphics were of high quality, can't have a decent defense type game without this.

A few suggestions, make the background look like the innards of a body, instead of black nothingness, maybe some skin cells, a few veins, entrails, maybe an organ or two, to look like your drifting inside of an actual body, and on cell lanes and tubes below your current position, maybe show some traffic of red and white blood cells, zipping throughout the trails and cell highways of the body. And instead of exploding, actually show the parasite consume the blood cell, but in a quick process enough to keep up with the pace of this game. One more suggestion, make the parasite you control look nasty and grotesque, to be truly name worth of a parasite!

The game is good the way it is, just a few minor suggestions, yeah sorry I get in a rant.

Overall enjoyable, and for sure I'll play again and acquire many upgrades.

9/10 Stars.

Wow, I love it when i get long reviews! Thanks.

Yeah at first when this game was in the concept stage i was planning on making the parasite a blue "UFO" which slammed itsself into INcomming missles protecting a base but i decided to go with this playstyle.

Reaching a point where it triggers anti bodies to come and kill the parasite i would asume :)

AH yes. Music Music Music. I belive music can be almost 50% of the game (i spent almost a week looking for music) I always try to put the best music in my
games to create a perfect theme that i wanted to create. also yeah, pandemic was part of the inspiration. i loved that game.

Yeah it would be quite boring, i always try to add some sort of upgrade system to make my games more enjoyable, (it would be pretty dull with out it XD)

Wow, thanks I did the graphics my self if you were curious.

Thats what i was thinking about doing, i tried doing a red or a pinkish feel but i just couldent get a good athmosphere and color scheeme going so i went with black/blue/light blue Hehe yeah i was thinking of making the parasite blackish greenish and be able to grow limbs and such on it but i decided to make it a very small parasite.

Thank you so very much, i love long reviews i hope you read this response.
Thanks again.

woah

really enjoyed this game. i'm looking forward to a sequel.
the upgrade system was cool, it didn't over-power your parasite.

a few suggestions:
- upgrades: you could add the ability to have additional friends and also multiple click-bombs before charging up again (would have to be expensive - if you got them right away it would be way too easy).
- in-level power-ups: maybe falling power-ups like slow-time/time freeze, and maybe a super-bomb type thing.
- bosses: not necessary, but maybe a white blood-cell or something along those lines.

good job!

unbelivable responds:

Thanks Yeah ive been thinking about that for the sequiel. Thanks

It is intriguing

But there lacks a sense of fun to the game. It seems like a task that must be done or else you're fired. It needs a better song (no offense to the song or artist) and needs to be a bit better as a game.

It lacks potential. Fix the lacking of fun (huge task) and you'll do alright.

good game though...but not fun

Good

yeah it was good , I just don't understand the upgrades... what is the size upgrade for???

unbelivable responds:

To increase your size so you can eat more blood cells.

Hmmm.

Im not sure what all of the fuss is about. Its ok at best

unbelivable responds:

How is this even a review. Please keep it to your self this doesent benefit me in anny way.
