The intent was to reduce the likelihood of the worm colliding with itself when the player does a U-turn.

The burrowing mechanic feels good - it's really fun to sneak up on one of the purple shooters and jump out of the ground at the last second.  I would have loved something that helped to establish the mood of the game - maybe some rampaging death metal in the background, screaming or fleeing people, a close-up shot of the worm for a title screen, or something along those lines.  Nice work!"},{"author_name":"PapyGaragos","author_uid":"7971","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:07pm","epoch":1398704520,"text":"That mechanic is a great addition to the genre, I am surprise I never saw something like this before. +1 for innovation :)"},{"author_name":"GeorgeBroussard","author_uid":"8631","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 9:28pm","epoch":1398720180,"text":"This is great! It's super fun to manage the purple shooters with the health and eating people. There's a great game and mechanic here for sure. Could see something like this doing well on mobile. It's the right size. This is a great effort for LD and 48 hours. Very complete experience. Nice ramp up in difficulty, too."},{"author_name":"Sylvain Dubrofsky","author_uid":"34899","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:23am","epoch":1398737880,"text":"That's fun bchan!
