about

You've been thrust into a grimy, gritty dystopia straight out of the '80s as the very video abomination the authorities have warned you about. You're a tentacled, asphalt-crawling hyperparasite; an angry alien who steals bodies. And why not?! Infecting the worst aspects of the most awesome decade, you must fight your way to the top of the pop-culture food chain to push the big red button and cause nuclear apocalypse. Be ruthless as you navigate the procedurally generated, gritty streets of a hopeless future in this roguelike twin-stick shooter.

'Long live the new flesh!'

Just look at all those juicy sacks of meat going to waste! As a hyperparasite, you can put them to better use by hijacking bodies with your tentacles, absorbing hosts and their various abilities. Once the host dies, you can abandon their mortal coil. But one hit on a vulnerable parasite and it's game over, so keep capturing other bodies.
'A healthy mind in a healthy body'

There are over 60 different characters at your disposal, each with their own unique attacks and abilities. Discover and capture them! Defeat an elite member of the class, take their brain and bring it to Vito, a salesman with an insatiable greed. Use one of his brain storage capsules to unlock the character with your honestly stolen money. There's even a storage room for already unlocked characters that can be used in future games.

'Downtown must be the friendliest place on earth...'

With procedural generation, you never know what's waiting for you in the dark alleys. There are 5 different acts to discover, each with their own set of characters to discover and capture. There are also plenty of secrets within secrets to explore during multiple playthroughs. But save your tentacles for boss encounters, because they hit hard!

Turn up the volume!

Swing to the original synthwave beats from Van Reeves and Joe Kataldo, with a pulsating bassline to match your dashes and kills.
A friend in need...

Trouble comes in handy, so invite a partner to join you for double the mayhem in local co-op.
