Worm Eats Apples by Azimiro

[raw]
made by Azimiro for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

About the game

As the title suggests, Worm Eats Apples is a game where you play as a worm and must eat apples to grow bigger.

I know this isn't mutch but this is my very first LudumDare and the first game I made alone and published online ! I'm looking forward to your feedbacks :smile:

Gameplay

  • This is a 2 players versus game.
  • Each player plays on the same keyboard (see Controlls for more info).
  • You must avoid the small water pounds so you don't drown and lose body parts.
  • You must find and eat apples to grow bigger (the red marker next to each player indicates the direction to apple).
  • At the end of the timer, the biggest worm wins (if both worms are the same size, you must rush for the last apple) !

Controlls

  • Left Worm : WASD
  • Right Worm : Directionnal Arrows

A very joyful game! I play alone, it's very fun to play, especially when one worm sticks the second half of another worm outside

Me and my partner really liked this game! well more that i liked it, cause she wasent able to steer away from the water pools, so she kept losing her worm. But overall really good game! and keep it up, as a first entry its really fun! :)

I was lucky to have a friend nearby to play this game with. At first, we didn’t like it: the worms are too slow, the map is small, and the gameplay is quite basic. But after playing for 5 minutes, we gradually started to uncover the game's potential. I managed to trap my friend's worm, so he couldn't reach the apple :) I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but at some point, a part of the body just fell off and stayed on the ground, not attached to any worm. Fun game!

A tip for the future: make the worms different colors to avoid confusion. Add some music. And don’t abandon the game — it has great potential!

Simple but cool entry! It could be cool to add some sort of "pvp" by being able to eat parts of your opponent ;)

Great game for your first participation, if the worms were slightly different in colour it would be easier to keep track. All in all, it was fun.

Great game for a first entry! Very simple indeed and there's lot of room for improvement. But it's complete and features multiplayer, which is already more than just a prototype. So be proud and keep on learning!

Quite solid for your first entry, good job! The gameplay is easy to figure out and has good replayability.

Great job on your first ever game jam!!!!

This is a split-screen multiplayer browser game! I feel like I haven't really seen much of that sort of thing since the golden age of Miniclip/Newgrounds. Very nostalgic, great job!
