It was my first idea,,, cool game..
that worm sprite...
Your game name is pretty much an exact copy of my entry... what are the odds...
Too bad you didn't get the puzzle element done there could have been some interesting mechanics/levels.
@MarsBar: Heh, sorry about that, I guess I should have checked or something. Great work on yours by the way.
@thenmal: Yeah definitely, I'm planning on continuing to work on this for a bit until it's actually a game
So... it's like a metaphor for life? Eat and poop until eventually you die. Pretty bleak. Congrats on finishing, though. I bet you could build this into a puzzle game or even a worm RPG. Think about it.
@Cambrian_Man: Thanks! My plans are to add a bunch more things to simulate so controlling the worm is as difficult and convoluted as possible, and then maybe make it some sort of sandbox rpg.
Good to finally have a worm simulator.
Cool and unusual.
The game's not bad, the graphics could be a little better though
funny idea
Game won't run for me. Here's the error I get:

Could not find the main class: ld48_gl.MainLoop. Program will exit.
Of all the simulators.... XD
Why is it Worm Simulator >>2012<< though?
@Deozaan: Thanks for letting me know, I can probably fix this.
@Diptoman: Our end goal was to have the worm burst out in the middle of Manhatten, turning out to be gigantic and starting an apocalypse.
You'll get that error if you have an older JDK version. I could recompile for an older version, but honestly I'm feeling kind of lazy, I'm about to restart the game in C anyway.
Heh, it's neither here nor there, it just means great minds think alike :)
thanks for checking out my game btw, I really like your art style, unfortunately I couldn't seem to get it to run :(
Great start, could be a really fun game but sadly no real goal or challange.
This game is entertaining and does a good job of replicating the movement of worms. It would be even better with other insects or some moving objects in the background. Brilliant entry to this ludum dare and matches the theme well
That you were the graphics good, makes nothing out of place
