Parasites vs Nanomachines

Description

The Cereglaria, microscopic brain parasites from space that put humanity on the brink, find themselves on the bad end of extinction. It's all because Jerry L. Berruto, egotistical scientist, has developed an artificial immune system they just can't beat. The remnants of this terrible swarm invade the body of Jerry himself in a last ditch effort at survival.

This is a microscopic shoot em up that combines my love for the genre with my love for goofy alien and robot designs. It's got a scoring system based around aggressively attacking enemies at close range to build up a laser meter, and using the laser to convert enemies and bullets into big juicy points. It's also got dynamic difficulty that can jump up to silly levels if you play super good/figure out how to game the system.

This game is currently in alpha; there are still a few features I need to add, some sprites and animations are placeholders, and there is only one level to play. It also only has a Windows 10 (and maybe 11?) build; I can figure out how to make builds for Linux and Mac if requested.
