The Scottish developer Lowtek went to great lengths in order to ensure that the Parasite Pack is as perfect as possible and for this, developers as far as Brazil have worked on the title to polish it. Both titles in the pack are for gamers of all ages and skill levels however only the best will master them. Check out the teaser for the Parasite Pack below:

The game also allows co-op so that you can team up with friends to solve puzzles together.
Key features of Tapeworm Disco Puzzle include:
- Avoid enemies
- Don’t kill the fleas
- Collect all the notes
- Help the fleas collect the blood
- Open Doors with switches

The developer LowTek comments:
It’s about the gameplay. Games really don’t need to have cutting edge graphics to be fun to play. The graphics were also originally built for 8-bit hardware so have the authentic feel. The idea of bringing the games to modern consoles was so that many more people could play and experience the game in its original setting. Flea and tapeworm take place in the same universe with characters appearing in both games.
The second title is Flea and is a challenging 2D platformer where you play as Henry the Hyperactive Flea who cannot stop jumping. Your goal in the game is to navigate the beasts and collect the blood to get to the heart of the problems. Different challenges await Henry as he tries to collect blood and avoid thumb tacks in the various levels. Each dog is unique in the game and will bring its own unique theme, soundtrack, abilities, and enemies.
Key features of the game include:
- Explore 80 levels
- Meet weird characters
- Discover secrets.
The Parasite Pack is slated for release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. It will set you back $7.99. Additional details are available on the official website.
