Werm - an existential adventure by m11
- You are an existential worm.
- Use A and D to move.
- Press space to scream (silently).
- You can play forever, but what's the point?
Inspired by r/showerthoughts and the pain of existence.
Game is cut off if not fullscreen.

Good for a couple of minutes of play. Simple, clean and to the point.
My screen was cut off even in full screen though... It also would have been nice to have a marker showing me where my snake was when it was off the screen because I wandered off once and only got back by pure luck...
Screaming silently was nice.
PS, I also loved how there was a button just to scream
Or is the water made of cucumber?", the werm asked.
He screamed (silently), for he does not know.

Well done !
It would be great to add loop between edge of the screen or limit, it will avoid the player to loose the worm.
Also, make the worm edge smoother to have a better render.
Overall, nice experience :thumbsup:
Nice game, loved the quotes and the silent scream!
And in the same time
It's so real
I wasn't under the shower while playing it :frowning2:
That's the deepest of all the games I tried... but what's the point of winning a category or making a great game?
Existance is futile anyways.
10/10 I'm gonna hit the shower :shower: :v:
Some feedback points
- I love how you dedicated a button for the internal screaming
- There could have been a losing condition I think. The official worm game is lost by running into yourself. Maybe you could have added that to add some challenge.
- There is a lack of background music, I think music adds a lot to a game. The music does not have to be complicated or composed by yourself. Just 'something' will do wonders :smile:
Well done sir, I like your game! And I have some deep questions/realizations to think about while laying in bed tonight :laughing:
Neat worm behavior. It could be really fun snake-like game if you added collisions and sounds. Nice entry! :D
My LP :slight_smile: For some reason YouTube turned off comments on this video and I cannot turn them back on :slight_frown: I am currently trying to find a solution (no luck yet). :cry:

Imo it would be good to make it so the character can't get off screen - its hard to get him back when that happens.
