PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

Controls:
Arrows - move
Space - Bite
Z - Zoom out
It was supposed to be more of a stealth game where your bite would cause people to go crazy and attack everything they see. I had to do some last minute redesign to make it a playable game.

A little too easy to get stuck in the vents at corners and T joints, but still fun. I found the Exit!!! :D
Fun game concept but I have not really found in relation to the theme.
Losing health over time is the worst :(
I realise that it wouldn't be challenging without that, but the way it is right now, I have zero interest in trying to crawl through buggy vents and die repeatedly.
Had a bit of trouble with the controls in the vents but otherwise pretty cool. I like the character art!
Rather challenging--I like the puzzle aspect of it, and wall-walking was a different approach to a side-scroller (though around corners it was a bit confusing at first).
Good job getting something done. The art looks pretty good!
Got stuck in the vents a few times. Really nice graphics but the controls were a bit hard to grasp.
Really cool premise but I had a rough time controlling the character. Kept getting stuck in the tunnels. Really wanted to go further... Love the ambient soundtrack and the graphics look great. Nice job!
Fun idea for a game. If the controls were polished a bit it could make for a great game
Woah! I like the idea and the life system! Btw It's a little too hard for my capabilities XD
Great Entry!
Pretty cool game for what you have so far! Great work!
Nice work, though I'm not a fan of the losing health part. Makes it more of a stressful memorization game (and working around mechanics game) than a cool alien game.
I did have problems at T joints since I couldn't figure out a way to climb in, and had to stick on the roof instead.
I do like the wall/ceiling walk though! It reminds me a of an ancient game called XEvil, before the graphical update. The aliens in there could run on walls and were pretty terrifying.
Nice atmosphere.
Very nice game. Difficult, but very nice graphics and overall control. A few times I had a little difficulty in tunnels.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Felt a little tough to work out what to do with the controls, but overall good job.
