That goes for the sounds and aesthetic in general. I found it a little difficult to both find and run towards a gun at first, but once I did, it was surprisingly satisfying to use. It also provides a reason to travel between levels besides increasing the difficulty -- getting ammo -- which I find elegant.\n\nThe graphics are crude (but fitting, so that's not necessarily bad) and the game could be a little more polished (perhaps the worms could telegraph that they're going to jump, for instance). I wonder if a turn based approach could be interesting here -- it would become more of puzzle then, e.g. can I reach the gun and the ammo in 10 turns?\n\nI'm glad I played this for my first game this jam :)  ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":860773,"author_name":"exaggegen","author_uid":"exaggegen","epoch":1664915434,"text":"Wow, I don't even remember when I saw this type of game. From the awesome that at the beginning of the game it is difficult to think of a plan to survive the invasion. In general, the game lacks dimension. The main thing is to survive the first invasion and then everything is simple and clear.
