The Symbiote prototype is a gameplay concept that experimented with a character using a symbiote (similar to that in Spider Man) to interact with his world. The character can use the symbiote to swing from surfaces and jump higher, among other uses.

The prototype was made in the summer of 2007, and is compatible with an Xbox 360 controller on PC. The build here is the last of work that was done on the project.

OTHER NOTES:

The trampoline can give you vertical height. Swinging is often useful. Experiment with both. Remember, you cannot swing while a trampoline is formed

Yellow enemies (frumple) and bird enemies kill you. You can jump on them. You can hook on to birds.

You can hook on to pointed blocks and grey blocks

Save points are rainbow colored

You can go through white clouds from the bottom and stand on top of them.

Lava (red) will kill you

You cannot go through Pink clouds (moving objects) but you can hook on to them.

The game is most in need of a useful battle system. But recommendations on the swinging mechanic are appreciated.
