Life of a Worm by tomsik68
In this game, you're a worm and your objective is to get DNAs and evolve to lizard, crocodile and then monkey. DNAs however, aren't everywhere, so you need to find them in different locations. Try not to get killed by humans, or hunger. On the upper right corner, you have hunger bar which can be filled by collecting food. Game is controlled by arrows, you can shoot infections using space. This game uses my personal engine called SGE (Simple Game Engine). Source of the engine is hosted at github.

I have to agree with kyyrma, it really looks like a 90s Windows game :D
I think there should be some kind of sound effect when you get hit by an enemy because on my first playthrough I didn't realize I was getting hit until I died!
And the bullets should be a bit faster!
Good work though :)
Also after I died of hunger i could not restart the game.
