Really interesting concept and unusual setting. Liked it!

I loved the music and the vibes, when the music got quite to loop (I assume) I thought the worm was right behind me or something and I was about to lose.  Great time!  Would love to see it fleshed out more.

Super cool take on the theme! This might be the first horror game that I've played in this jam that actually succeeds at being scary.

Be me, a junior cyber security specialist hired to protect users data. Client machine gets infected by wormware. I feed the giant menacing worm user data to make it bigger and release it onto the world. Not my problem anymore. Gets promoted. Now I can play wormware all day.

Great concept. I enjoyed the movement and the flow of double jumping and dashing over and across walls to get the data. The threat of the worm and trying to keep it satiated was a lot of fun. Great job.

Gosh the atmosphere I love it ! The worm was kinda laggy and even if it was not so hard to understand what to do a more in depth tutorial would be great. But the game was fun to play nice job !

Great style, runs bug (except for the giant worm) free. Concept is unique and engaging. Great submission.

Stunning looks and graphics. Concept seems cool but I think it could use some finetuning. The gameplay seemed engaging, untill I randomply got kicked from the game to the start screen. Also I cant believe how many times this has happened this jam to me, but please provide a different way of closing the game other than alt+f4.
