Ranked from 5 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How are the key mechanics of the original game incorporated?
The First Law(collectible must exist):
Apples are a required collectible to stay alive, and many collectible powerups exist

The Second Law(collectible must do something):
The apples refill your timer bar(as in the prototype) as well as give you ammo to shoot at enemies

The Third Law("timer must exist"):
I decoupled the timer from the worm's length & gave it its own bar

The Fourth Law("timer must have consequences"):
The worm still dies when the timer hits 0, so that mechanic is unchanged

(I kept the original code and edited the movement some)
(Also, the theme is inspired by the cryptic comments left all over the code)

Being able to boost your speed and stop add so much to the game and make it feel great to control!

Developer

Thank you, I wanted to make it really feel like you're playing a worm.

The controls are surprisingly deep. The fact that you can stop is very useful, especially against those t-posing bald eagles. 

I can't find the secret numbers though :(

Developer

No pose is stronger than the T-pose! I apologize about the numbers, I didn't know we were supposed to put some in.
