The movement of the worm felt very fluid and felt like a worm should. The more I played the more I was impressed. The subtle camera pans and zooms made it feel ever better. And nice touch with the minimap.

I loved the cute art style and the audio was quite nice as well. The audio and art style were perfect for the mood and vibe I was getting from the game and overall I enjoyed the experience, good job."},{"author_name":"Gaius Baltar","author_uid":"50749","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 5:15pm","epoch":1440436200,"text":"Awesome game! I really like the menu animation.\r<br\/>I just wanted to point out that at one point the worm split into two, so I was essentially controlling two characters. Also, once I finished the screen started vibrating and nothing else happened."},{"author_name":"AndyBrown","author_uid":"5699","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 5:18pm","epoch":1440436380,"text":"I think you did fine managing your time, the controls are what make this game great! Really impressed with the different movement schemes between dirt and empty space. I would love to see more of this, jumping through vertical shafts to get flying enemies seems like it would be fun. Some crunching for digging through dirt and sounds for popping through the dirt into empty space would really add a lot to the feel of the game. Great job though, my favorite entry so far!"},{"author_name":"Damdoshi","author_uid":"45212","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 10:39pm","epoch":1440542040,"text":"Very nice game = ) This is pretty original.

It took me a second to understand what was going on, but once I got the hang of it it was great! It is just like being one of those Eaters from Terraria! Really solid work on the momentum aspect. Your score is very fun and upbeat, and loops very well :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Those rocket guys are jerks though!"},{"author_name":"Dizzyman572","author_uid":"35620","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 4:46pm","epoch":1440866460,"text":"Pretty cool game, this game really reminded of the movie Tremors. The only complaint I really had was that there was no win condition. After eating all of the humans there was nothing else to do. Still though it was a really good game. :)"}],"images":["ld33\/36649-ccccfa820b7010a5aeac3317ecf044d0.jpg","ld33\/36649-112bdc3e7af31d9bc2a9762cecd2176c.jpg","ld33\/36649-275f90dd4a942e4a943ab08f6b579316.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/uohgjwo66me70vn\/Megaworm-1.0.0.jar?dl=1","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/k8w78n7usrsnjv6\/Megaworm-OSX-1.0.0.jar?dl=1","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/2bg1gpobeka3lx1\/Megaworm.tar.gz?dl=1","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/uohgjwo66me70vn\/Megaworm-1.0.0.jar?dl=1","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2Wo2Rffs-vE","text":"Timelapse"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9453","g_author":"36649","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"9486","g_title":"Megaworm","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"209","g_commentcount":"19","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/36649-shot0-1440378786.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/36649-shot1-1440378924.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/36649-shot2-1440391138.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Become the Megaworm!
