The Forest Maze by Dongle
We tried! It's little half-baked. Weird action puzzle platform maze game.
Edit: There isn't sound in the game that first comment must have had music in a different tab and thought it was our game. Sorry I didn't address this sooner as it's confusing everyone who plays.
Controls: Move: WASD Dash: Spacebar Hold Left Mouse Button: Shoot

I agree with the other comments about the worms - I kept dying to them and in the end I gave up. Perhaps if there was a way to refill your health it would be fairer?
* The first shot you make always go above the worms, not a big deal but an unnecessary thing the player has to take into account so correcting it to directly shoot in the targeted direction
* Adding a small time of invincibility after being hit would make the game less punitive (especially when there are a lot of enemies)
* Make checkpoints: the fall into the pit animation with the eyes was cool but having to see it again every time I died was a bit long
* A background music would really add to the mood of the game (even if it already nice)
* I think making the worms fall into the pit should be a viable strategy for the game and not a way to make it harder. Maybe allowing shooting while moving would be another option to make the gameplay less frustrating
Overall, the game is really nice and a great result for a jam: I had a lot of fun playing it and, as I said, I would love to try a more complete post jam version :D
Thanks for submitting your game!
