Infect is a wave survival game inspired by immune biology, where you are the infection. This experimental wave shooter seeks to combine the strategy of Tower Defense and "Backpack Manager" genres with slow-burn bullet hell gameplay. Grow from a measly clump of cells into 4th stage and beyond, as you venture to shed the feeble body of your host and become the ultimate life form.

[This was my first attempt at game dev. The original build was made in 2 weeks and will remain unchanged under the label "JamBuild." All assets were made completely from scratch as my goal was to learn and try out as many roles as possible.]

For a first project, this is really, really good! I like the art, truly puts me in the point of view of having to fight all of these little organisms. The background of the game page ended up complimenting the game really well, which I thought was very clever. The powerups are nice! The sound effects are so weird and yet they fit so well. Helps to give a little more identity to the game. Only thing that's missing I'd say is maybe some music or ambiance. Honestly, pretty solid.

Good work!
