Brain Juice

Brain Juice is puzzle game with light stealth elements. It was made with Godot 4.2 in GDscript for the Godot Wild Jam #67 - which had the theme of "Parasite".

You take control of an alien parasite, capable of taking over the bodies of human hosts. Exerting your will over a human consumes "Brain Juice" which can be replenished by draining a hosts spinal fluid (killing them in the process).

Unfortunately it wasn't finished in time to meet the deadline, but rather than give up I continued it until it was in a playable state (playable meaning all levels could be completed, no polishing janky stuff that worked as I wanted it to be as close to the state of the time the jam finished as possible). This is the first project I've "finished" and released to the public. All 3D assets, animations and sounds were created by me during the jam.

I still have a quite a large list of features and polish I'd like to add, which maybe I'll implement incrementally.

The game is quite short with 3 levels + a tutorial.
