a Very Talented Worm by unplugred

[raw]
made by unplugred for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Untitled.png

This is Worma, a little worm who would like to invite some friends to come over and have a party.

For everyone to enjoy the party, she had the idea of preparing a mojito for her friends to enjoy,

but to do so, she'll have to get pieces from the surface.

The problem is that a huge bird is outside, waiting to get some fresh worms to eat!

Help Worma get all the ingredients for the mojito before the time runs out!

Controls:

Use WASD to move Worma from her house to the surface.

Stay close to an ingredient to collect it, and take it to the oven to prepare it.

The game ends when you've collected every ingredient.

Good luck!

Game looks and sounds really nice! I think I'd have liked some way of moving a bit faster, even if it was only while you weren't carrying something maybe. But a fun idea :)
(also did anyone else actually find the game kind of scary? maybe says more about me than the game lol)

Haha this is great. Really fits the theme. I liked the splash screen, did you pay for Unity Pro or is that just a Scene?

The gameplay was fun and challenging and the sound effects fit. good work.

Music was great, so were the sound effects. I liked the overall gameplay, but the bird moved a bit frustratingly :D Great Job!

Cute game, it's a pity that there aren't more levels with increasing difficulty. Getting that bottle of rum was really hard :)

really cool graphics and sound design as always. it was a little bit different than most dream buster games but i liked the change. only issue was that i couldn't beat it because i didn't know how to get the damn bird away from the bottle of rum lmao. keep up the good work dream buster!

Now we finally know why worms risk their lives to come to the surface :D
I had no idea how to get the rum without being caught, but it was really enjoyable!

Good looking graphics and nice sound design. I would have liked it if the worm moved a bit faster, though.

By the way, what does "worma says trans rights" mean?

Nice idea for a game. Graphics are strong and gameplay is sound. The bird is an a-hole but what can you do. Good overall entry!

What a cute little game! Had fun playing it :)
And I was actually sooo scared haha, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight from this damn bird, I swear. xD
The idea is cute and fun. the graphics are cute and controls are easy (although I also wouldn't complain about controller support ;)))
I think it would be cool if the tunnel would decay gradually (and like indicate that with different colours or textures etc), and the fresher it is, the quicker Worma can get through the soil, I would make it significantly faster, so the player's have to think about how the crawl throught the earth and what yould be the most efficient route etc :)
I think an indicator were the bird is would be nice as well, like when it starts to move towards you make an arrow that becomes bigger the nearer it is or something like that, one time that bitch picked me out of the earth >o< grrrr!
All in all a cute entry, congratz on finishing your game! :)

This was a cute little game, and it's given me a fear of crows because that giant bird hopping around is STRESSFUL!! I thought that perhaps the rum took a little long—no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it all fast enough, and while the bird was perched overhead, I couldn't make it back to the rum before all my progress ran out! I wonder how and where Worma got a taste for mojitos, anyway?

Cool art style, and the gameplay is quite tense, I like it!
