Worm Quest by kill0u

made by kill0u for LD29 (JAM)

I was running for the Compo but gave up during the week-end because of a lack of physical strength and ideas I liked..

I entered again today (monday) for the JAM, making this little game with the compo rules and in one day. Do not expect to much from this game ;)

Anyway, enjoy!

Controls:
----------------------------------
Left/Right arrow: move left/right
Down arrow: dig (you can't dig through rocks, though)
M: toggle mute
N: next level, if too hard for you :3

I agree. It's quite addicting. The worm noise though got a bit irritating. I would like to know what my high score was when I start a new game to know how far I got before. Nice job!

I like the art, specially the initial screen before you play. Sound is however really boring. The puzzle element combined with limited time makes a good 4* overall for you :)

3990 points, I died when an ant got in the way o the only way down (the rest was blocked by falling rocks). pretty good! cute art.

I really like the puzzle aspect of this, requires a bit of forward thinking. Seems well rounded and polished to so great job

That was pretty cool :)
Glad you put a mute in though, I found the sfx to be a bit obnoxious!

Nice game, but it seems there is no way to pass second ant except maybe moving as fast as you can before it reaches you. Maybe I just don't see a way.

And there is somethng wrong with the way game restarts after dying. Collected letters don't reset, and other weird things happen.

By the way, doesn't that worm moving sound comes from Worms series? :)

Very good work for one day! Probably good that you've stayed simple and neat instead of trying to achieve unachievable in such a short term.

Cute game, liked the art and the gameplay. Simple but done really cleverly and well.

@v_n_j: there is a way, you need to kill the ant (yep, you can do that!) and then go right ;) I'll check on game restart, didn't spend much time on it =/ Thanks!

Simple and addictive ! I restarted the game 3 times before giving up ! I wish that when you die you respawn at the previous level !

I couldn't make you respawn at the previous level because of the stamina & letters =/

I added a little walkthrough for the toughest level (2nd ant): http://imgup.motion-twin.com/twinoid/0/7/79d8de75_8297.jpg

Fun and not too hard, worm noise was a bit loud and could have used slight background audio to balance it out, well made puzzler though. Good job

That movement sound brings back memories :D Had fun with your worm (Oh that sounds just plain wrong...)
