Darwin's Little Pink Worm by wumpus
My first javascript game and written raw (without an engine) so it'll likely have technical issues all over the place - I'm looking at you IE. I'd recommend Chrome for the best chances.
OBJECTIVE - Stomp on all the other worms to prove your genetic worth and finally evolve into something truly special.
CONTROLS - Arrow keys and Z but they're configurable from the main menu.
KNOWN ISSUES - This is the first time I've put anything together with javascript. There's no doubt some compatability issues or suchlike so any help in identifying and knobbling them is appreciated.
AUDIO - It would appear javascript is rubbish with sound so I guess you better cue up some mp3s while you battle for evolutionary supremacy. Ah well.

I just wish there was a bit more of an element of choice when evolving, though; that's what really would have made this game super-replayable. Still, impressive, for 48 hours raw in javascript.
If you're using sound with javascript try using .wav files they work across more browsers
mysound = new Audio('file.wav');
mysound.play(); ]
That's what really impressed me. If you stand still, you'll get no experience, so no new abilities, if you go on and try to fight, you will, so that's a real nice motivator. Too bad the difficulty curve just goes down and down as the game progresses towards the end, but hey, that's the concept of the game, being the strongest and eliminating everyone, right?
Great job!
Anyway, really good job.
Work perfectly, basic but nice idea. Game is fluid and funny.
Nice job ;)
Really nice that you had a solid victory screen - felt like my efforts were not in vain.
Thanks for your nice comment, btw :)
Good job.
