The game is very fun to play. For some reason my audio didn't work properly and I did get a lot of flickering especially after I completed the levels. The art is top notch, the music (when it was working) was very cool and supporting the vibe of the game. This seems like my kinda game and I wish I could have more!

Completed! :) a lot of fun and felt very polished too! It had so much content that I never saw what the lightsaber worm could do before my run ended! Well done guys, great entry!

Very fun game to play. Really liked the minigames, although they got quite boring when I had to do them multiple times in a row. Really liked how the game gets really fast, but didn't find it really balanced. Overall it was VERY fun to play as there is so much to do!

It was super, considering the scope of the jam it's incredible how much stuff there is and how it's done from a technical standpoint, top notch![Снимок экрана 2024-04-16 154632.png](///raw/92f/34/z/639de.png)

Simply incredible and amazing how you got all of this within the three days. I love everything about this holy shit

Seeing goofy looking worm dudes battle it out was insanely addicting, y'all almost made me miss work

Special props to the Warioware styled minigames, the worm timer actually made me laugh out loud

Whoa, that escalated quickly. Oo When it started I was_slightly suspicious of what I might get into, but one the world map pulled up... wow. I like the little flourishes of slight camera panning and zooming in on the world map and stuff. Battling is as smooth as it can be and everything looks, feels and sounds (!) great. Very polished. However, the web build stutters for me every now and then, so I didn't get to play very far yet. If you could provide a download so I can 100% this without any hookups that'd be very much appreciated :)

Regarding constructive feedback: I really enjoyed the music _a lot_ (kudos to your sound guy, very mega drive/genesis-groovy stuff; if you have a bandcamp, let me know!), so I actually just hung out on the world map until the song was finished. Which I actually didn't expect to happen. Did you forget to make it loop or is this intended behaviour?

You saw me playing it live :)

It was surprisingly well polished!

It was easy to understand, although quite complex, so kudos for that!

The graphics were nice, a lot of effects, a lot of effort was shown here!

Thank you for stopping by at my stream :)

This is definitely one of my favorite games of this jam. The concept alone and the fact that there is so many different levels and different worms, which makes the game very replayable. I absolutely love the microgames to buff your characters

Amazing effort guys! There's so much content in 3days. I had a blast playing your game.

Shame I experienced some crackling in audio (definitely found myself vibing to the tunes).

ok listen I've only played like 30 minutes and you're getting the 5 star sweep from me this is a wonderfully creative little game.
this game is a critical hit

edit: i dont even care that the music and gameplay lags like hell im leaving my rating coz it oozes style

i love this game. everything about it. the concept is easy to grasp from the beginning. it introduces new mechanics iteratively. i have to make decisions about cards i want, and if i end up not liking the cards, no problem i trade in a few and get more new stuff. this hits all the parts of video games that i love.

the microgames are intresting, because once i figure them out, i could see them being tedious to do. i'm sick of tickling the owl. however, the presentation of those games (and the entire game) is so charming that i don't care if i do them over and over.

well done!

I was going to play just like 5 minutes to check it out, ended up playing the ENTIRE GAME. It is so fun and polished. I loved every aspect of it. the gameplay is robust, the art is great, it is soooo funny. Didn't encounter any bug. To me, the best game of the jam (from the few I have tried obviously).

Fantastic entry! This was so polished it's unbelievable. Great humour, easy to pick up and play (and lose track of how long you've been playing it,) minigames were fun and the general game feel was excellent. Amazing work, would be a worm and wipe out all birds to get back at my ex again.

I love how much there was to this game! It was fun finding out what each kind of worm did as I played through the levels. Really loved the mini games for the buffs too!

Oh man, what a fuckin gem this was. So much fun, and I love the idea of combining a deck builder with Wario Ware. And tower defense. The writing was excellent too, genuinely hilarious. Really nice job to everyone involved! Would murder birds again!

Rukker were maybe a bit overpowered!

Great graphics, juicy animations/camera movement, interesting concept. Think that the only improvement you can make is to make it more tactical (by rebalancing?) instead of playing card in a fast pace non-stop.
🎤 LDJam user 317477
20. Apr 2024 · 12:24 UTC
@bananplyte yeah we did zero balancing. You can just use altar to build a deck of all Rukker's and every battle is easy.
🎤 LDJam user 317477
20. Apr 2024 · 12:26 UTC
@helviett yeah the balancing is all over the place. We had a bunch of ideas in retrospect. Like we should of made the minigame cards more powerful but can only be played once a battle.

Such a funny take on the summoning theme, and a really solid and complete entry overall, really well done. It's nice to have the Netherlands represented so well too!

Best game of the jam so far for me :) Really liked the minigame-based powerups and the frantic gameplay. Really great UI design to have the cards fill up as you get enough mana to cast them.

I think my only complaints were at the altar sometimes it would show a different card than the one I actually ended up getting. I also wasn't sure exactly what the different powerup cards were actually doing.
🎤 LDJam user 317477
25. Apr 2024 · 17:30 UTC
Thanks @chybby! The power-ups kill birds or help you kill birds. All that you need to know.

Fun game! I'm a sucker for locations on an overworld map being represented by short little cylinders but the art is absolutely fantastic. Gameplay is snappy and fun, even if the balance is a little off, and the storyline was funny. I think there's something wrong with the volume controls though?

Hilariously fun and addicting. I burned through this in a frantic hurry. The sounds were delightful, the art was great and I was always engaged. One of my favorite ludum dare jam entries ever.

Hey guys, I just play your game... I mean, I almost develop a tendonitis buy playing one hour straight on my trackpad. Anyway, love the design and the music, the ambiance.

We are preparing the LD56 and as you use godot too (you are right?) we are wondering how did you managed to integrate the game directly on the LDJAM page ?

Hope to see you for the 56th edition.

Kisses from France.
