And yes, enemies that fly are supposed to travel through walls.

The core is a vessel that has the ability to connect and forge itself within other beings, taking control of them and their abilities. Fight through infinite hordes of shadow-like husks as you take control of them and use their own abilities against their own kind.

Made in 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam with the theme "Joined Together"

Tips and Strategies

If the heart takes contact damage, the enemy you're connected to will also die

Any enemy that takes contact damage with the heart will instantly die, however the heart takes double damage than from getting shot

There is no penalty for letting the enemy you're connected to die other than not being able to attack.  You can take advantage of this and use your connected enemy as a meat shield

And, if you're planning to try to beat me, my record kill count is 80.
