Parasagia Falls

Parasagia Falls is an alien post-apocalyptic survival turn-based strategy game that was created for Godot Wild Jam #67. The game was made in Godot 4.2.1 and with Aseprite/Audacity for assets. 

The Story:

The world was forever changed when the meteorites fell. At first, these tiny space rocks were considered a curiosity. By the time we learned that they carried alien parasites, it was too late. The parasites warped the creatures it touched into twisted monsters with no semblance of what they once were. These parasites and their
infected hosts came to be known as the Parasagia.

For reasons unknown, some were immune. These survivors have had to scrape by in the ruins of society. Grotesque monsters and starvation threaten to wipe humanity out. You are one such survivor. You must travel from area to area, balancing staying alive with collecting enough food to fend off your hunger for another day.

Eventually, humanity learned how to fight these creatures. The infected leave colored secretions in their wake. People learned that certain parasites were extremely vulnerable to parasites of a different color. By coating weapons in alien substance, they could take advantage of their weaknesses. Red parasites are weak to blue parasites. Yellow parasites are weak to red parasites. Blue parasites are weak to yellow parasites.

Since this discovery, you have kept a set of weapons. Each one is coated in a different color of secretion. Be warned, if you are caught holding the wrong weapon by a monster then they can also use that to their advantage to inflict increased damage on you.

How to Play:

In Parasagia Falls, the game plays out in turns. Whenever you take an action, the enemies get to take an action right after. Each new area starts on the player's turn. Actions include moving one space, interacting or attacking a space, or choosing to heal yourself. When you choose to interact or attack a space, your character will interact with whichever space they are currently facing. Turning to face a new direction will not end your turn. Attempting to move into another space will end your turn however. This is still the case even if the other space is occupied and you are unable to move into it.

Controls:

WASD/Arrow Keys/Left Thumbstick/D-Pad -- Move your character

E/Left Click/A Button/Right Trigger -- Interact or Attack

Q/Right Click/B Button/Left Trigger -- Use a medkit

Esc/Start Button -- Open the menu

About the Jam:

The main theme was:

which is showcased in this game by the alien parasite that has taken over various creatures and humans. The parasite serves both as the primary adversary but also the source of your power with your coated weapons.

In addition to the main theme, the jam also presented three wild cards:


I chose to use all three wild cards in my game. The movement/actions in the game take place on a grid. In addition, there is a roshambo aspect of red beats yellow beats blue beats red for damage modifiers. Finally, there is a silly level option that features a number of sillier aspects from art to music.
