UzzoTrouble

The Uzzo we had in containment have escaped. Hurry, get them back in their enclosures before they destroy the rest of the lab! And hurry, if they spend too much time without food, you'll regret it!

Mechanics

• Left Click on the Uzzo to pick them up, and release to drop them. The orange cure, and black boxes spread across the map can also be picked up and moved
• Right Click to release a food pellet, this can be useful for drawing out the Uzzo
• The Uzzo have a food meter indicated by a green bar on top of their heads. This bar is specific to each Uzzo, and will increase as they are fed more food pellets
• Once placed into one of the 3 available cages, the Uzzo will stop losing hunger and will be unable to escape the cage
• Once an Uzzo has extinguished it's food meter, it will mutate into a Grizzl, which quickly tries to convert all nearby Uzzo into fellow Grizzl
• The Grizzl can be cured by the orange pill in the cure station near the start of the game. The cure only lasts for 5 seconds, but will regenerate after 10. The cure is only active while held, and has a timer to indicate how much is left
• The Grizzl have a special ability that lets them warp through the sides of the cages, so you need to keep an eye out to keep your Uzzo safe
• The boxes spread across the level can be used to block the Grizzl from entering the cages, and obstruct their movement in other areas.
• The Grizzl love food, and will prioritize it above converting the Uzzo, so scatter food pellets when you need to slow them down.
