The Spaceworm by Clocwise

[raw]
made by Clocwise for LD24 (COMPO)
My second attempt at a LD, and my first time finishing :D It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the result for what it is.

There's two abilities you can make stronger by using them more, so you can essentially play the game in two different ways.

Fun game! i like it! the graphics are nice and the gameplay is fun! It turned into sort of just mashing on the mouse, but I liked it. well done!

Kind of neat. A little unclear how you take damage, but I like it! Music is also relaxing and the graphics are cool.

Cool retro game! Reminds me of the spectrum computer :) Only thing that the game needs is autofire, which funnily enough I need to put into my own game:)

The trailing worm segments add an interesting dynamic to this sort of game. A few times I tried to cut over the top of an enemy out of habit and took damage from it. Good Job on making something new.

I really enjoyed this game! I agree about adding an autofire... My figures got tired after mashing the mouse for twenty minutes.

Very cool game. I think you should keep the mouse mashing, it makes you feel more in control.

Dave says: Liked the art style and sound effects. I really like the way the head evolved.
