- Navigate the descent phase by slipping through gaps in the hazard gates.
- Enter the core chamber and stay within range of the core.
- Hold the absorb input to drain energy until the collapse meter reaches 100%.
- Release absorb to regain full movement speed and evade incoming defenses.

More about this game
Take control of a cosmic parasite on a mission to consume the eight planets of the Sol system. Each invasion begins with a descent phase where you must slip through breaches in the planet's hazard zone. Once you breach the core chamber, you must dodge rotating beams, missiles, and environmental hazards while holding your position to siphon energy. The difficulty scales with each planet, introducing faster defenses and new hazards. Taking a single hit destroys the parasite and ends the run.
Tips
- Absorbing the core slows your movement speed significantly, so release the input early to dodge fast-moving beams.
- Missiles track your position, but they turn slowly. Lead them away from the core before doubling back to absorb.
- Each planet has a unique defense pattern. For example, Uranus features tilted gravity that constantly pushes your parasite.
Questions
How do I unlock new planets?
Planets must be consumed in order. Successfully collapsing a planet's core unlocks the next world on the Sol Devouring Route.
What happens if I get hit?
The parasite is destroyed instantly upon contact with any defense or hazard. You must restart the current planet from the beginning.
Why is my parasite moving so slowly?
Your movement speed is reduced while actively absorbing the core. Additionally, some planets like Uranus have freeze beams that apply a Cryo-Lock, temporarily slowing you down.
