This is a pretty cool idea. I beat it on every difficulty except impossible, since it's impossible. The way the worm moves in impossible is what I thought the whole game would be like, but after trying impossible I'm glad it's not. The difficulty curve of the worm getting more wiggly is a cool way to implement difficulty though.

Fun and simple concept! I enjoy the idea. Can't tell if the physics of the worm is affected by the movement of the mouse, that would be cool!

Awesome game, perfect combination of challenge and fun!

As a designer that also can't draw, it's very inspiring when you have such a strong concept that basically lets you neglect the art (minus the worm, which was very cute) and still be charming, fun and adictive. Great job! I enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you! I felt the bad art helped enhance the jankyness I was tryinng to convey with the game. The quick art process also gave me more time to do the sound effects (which I recorded myself).

I totally agree, the sound effects were super satisfying :)

Very fun concept !! Loved it, interesting idea and the puzzles are nice and difficulty is growing very well ! Great job, keep going !

Thank you! I defo feel that the difficulty curve (and the multiple difficulty settings) were my "big win" in this game jam. Good to see others think the same, too. ^^

I tried impossible difficulty, and can agree it is impossible=) Interesting idea and nice work!

I really like the idea of trying to draw with a living pen it adds a nice bit of difficulty. Good job!

Assume this is a bug but instead of a normal pen I had a worm??? Love the wriggle physics

I'll tell HR to buy regular pens next time. Sorry for the inconvenience!

It's fantastic, the impossible mode almost became impossible for me to complete.

Very unique and fun game! It's creative, and funny. The worm wobbling around adds a fun twist to the already sorta difficult task that this game puts against you.

Excellent job! One of the more fun games on the jam!
