This was so much fun! The gold staying in place when you get hit or die is great motivation to go back down and get it back. The pixel art on the page is also really good

I had a lot of fun with this - art style, music, sound effects, gameplay and mechanics all hit the right spot. This is not far form a full releasable game! Kudos!

Very nice, and beautifully worm-themed. Graphics are on point and controls well.

I love all the animations for the worm's head, great attention to detail.

Awesome game! - It was very cozy gliding around, on the quest to find that key - upgrading your worm was great always having something to work towards and the fact that getting hit did not feel to punishing made for a fun experience, awesome take on the theme!

Very fun concept! I had a good time playing. Digging holes is cool, and being able to see your previously dug paths was a nice touch.

That said, the acceleration when gathering gold made it a bit hard at times to get back to the place I died, especially with the monster's pathing. Also, I somehow got stuck in the lava and couldn’t move anymore.

Anyway, nice game — good job!

at first this feels really good. but there is a moment where you have to go through the path you already went through and because there is no material that slows you down your head starts moving really fast while tail is still slow. this rubber banding effect makes really difficult and unpleasant to collect lost coins. the rest was fantastic.

Very nice and cozy mining game with some nice nostalgic Snake thrown in there :) I like it.

Amazing game! Very complete I had a lot of fun with my friends. It was sometimes confusing to know how much money you get. While the worm was very stretchy, the gameplay was very funny and interesting. We played all to the happy end with our worm bf!!

Wow, this was really fun and didn't realize how much time passed until I beat the game and it said 19 minutes lol. Really fun trying to collect as much as possible and get super long. I was hoping to get the last upgrade for 999 when I returned with the key, but that got the game complete screen so I'm not sure what that final upgrade was! Argh...

Really had a blast with this game. Nice work.

eally fun and creative idea—it feels like a mix between Snake with upgrades and platformer elements like moving obstacles from Mario. I did find it a bit tricky to collect all the gold after dying, since the speed increases quite a bit. I also noticed some FPS drops at that point.

The game is really good and i liked the progression system but i feel like the worm sometimes moves a bit too fast

Such a clever blend of classic mechanics and modern roguelike elements. The sound design and animations really bring the world to life, and the death/recovery loop is super satisfying. Would 100% play a full version of this

Very nice art, sound effects are satisfying too. Overall very polished. I played your game for like 15 mins which is pretty rare for me while I'm rating game.

Wow, this is a great game! At first, I was skeptical and thought I was just earning gold for no reason, but then I noticed the shop, and everything clicked after that. The background music is awesome, and the boost effect is fun but sometimes a bit annoying. The game has a nice challenge and smooth controls. I found the key in 18 minutes — really enjoyed it! Thanks for the game!

A wonderful game and the pollish is amazing! Great job overall and a fun game! Played this with my gf in turns and we had a ton of fun! We even removed the gnome :D

Really cool game! The concept is really strong and it feels really good to play! I found it quite challenging and I was frustrated whenever I died trying to recollect the gold I'd dropped when my body got it

Wow this game has a lot of good ideas and tuning to make it balanced, well done ! I was hooked and did get back the key to my pissed wormette. I really like the art too. I wasn't so good at it so at some point the characters didn't have anything to tell me anymore. Looks like I annoyed the gnome before he annoyed me... One thing I wished would be to die faster, sometimes it took forever for me to die and dig again.

Very nice game! It was already so much fun to dig around and collect the coins =) The key was very well hidden. Maybe it could be a little shorter. But overall a very fun experience. thank you!

A pleasant meditative game! It could use a bit more animation for the worm when it crawls, it would feel much more emotional.

Really liked this one. The graphics were excellent, and the difficulty just right. I liked the sort of "push your luck" mechanic where you had to decide if you wanted to take the gold back to the surface, or try for more. One slight annoyance was that sometimes the enemies moved so fast that it seemed impossible to avoid them, but the visible tracks made this not much of an issue. Overall, nice job!
