Itty Bitty Mutant Parasites

You have been miniaturized to 1/47th of your size inside a Quantum Spacetime Capsule in order to personally eradicate a species of hostile itty bitty little mutant parasites.

Your mission is to navigate the cells within the host and destroy all parasites in each cell.  Due to the nature of the Quantum Spacetime Capsule, time slows down when you are at rest and speeds up while in motion.  

The Capsule is equipped with a Beam Weapon that reflects off of walls.  Hold Right Mouse Button to aim, then press Left Mouse Button to fire.  Line up your shots to take out multiple targets at once to get bonus points.  

Controls

  • WASD: Move
  • Hold Right Mouse: Aim
  • Left Mouse: Fire



> Time slows down while at rest and speeds up while in motion. 



> Use obstacles and quantum timing to your advantage or you're toast.



> Eradicating multiple parasites at once keeps your shot count lower, giving you a better score.



Play through all 5 cells and try to top the leaderboard!

Scoring

Each level has a "par" number of shots, similar to golf.  If you manage to eradicate all parasites in the level under par, you'll get massive bonus points per shot under par:

  • 3 under par: 40,000 points
  • 2 under par: 20,000 points
  • 1 under par: 10,000 points
  • Even with par: 5,000 points
  • Anything over par: 500 points  

Bugfixes

  • Fixed issue where Beam Weapon was disappearing/intermittent when reflecting off of walls.
  • Fixed issue where Beam Weapon would sometimes not pierce multiple enemies.
  • Pressing Enter on the name entry screen now always confirms your name entry (some players reported getting stuck here).
