Parasite

About

You play as a parasite with a singular goal: take over hosts. Each level tasks you with moving through environments latching onto new victims and using their unique skills to progress. The twist comes from switching between hosts, a spider offers web-based mobility a human grants strength and a bird provides flight. The platforming challenges adapt to each new ability forcing you to think creatively about how to reach the exit. Nitrome Games crafts tight physics-based puzzles that test timing and strategy. The browser-friendly format keeps things accessible and the 2009 release still holds up for its clever use of host abilities. Short levels let you jump in and out easily making it a quick but satisfying play session.
