Use of the limitation
We had no color green in our game at all. We have an earth worm that digs through the earth (dirt), so we were able to naturally avoid the color green.

Cookies eaten
8 cookies and a slice of cookie cake to be exact

Cool game, the upgrade concept is very neat!

cool i like that you have upgrades it's a fun bit of progression - wish there was a turning speed upgrade. very fun overall :)

I enjoyed this and played for quite a bit. I like the concept of being able to upgrade the worm, especially reducing the drain rate of the energy. I found out after a few rounds that the drain rate was all I really needed to upgrade, and I was happy I could continue upgrading beyond what the UI displayed.  A high-score system would complement this game because then you'd have a reason to upgrade your worm and continue playing. It feels like a rogue-lite in a way. I wish we could upgrade the turn rate as well! Overall, really good entry and a nice concept for a casual game.

I really like how the upgrades and game work together between rounds. Only hinderance for me was my turning speed after I started getting super fast made it very hard to control.

Maybe you could add other worms that are just going left to right which are enemies which you have to avoid, similar to the blocks but in moving form.

Keep it up! :D

Fun and easy to play! I like the unlimited lives and being able to upgrade to increase your digging time.  Even works on my iPhone.

Its fun I like that you get to see the tunnel after you die. I feel like the background texture should be bigger as the tiling of it is quite visible

Hello! Nice job with the game! I always love me some upgrade arcade games. I had to get used to the turn speed before I was able to get some good points per run. Overall, I like the concept of the game. Thank you for your hard work and I hope you had a lot of fun making this!
