Controls were a bit laggy. Too many times I go to eat/kill and an enemy would spawn right where I am. Still - like the concept and think with a little more polish this can be really awesome!

it's actually quite fun and I really love the idea of it.

Saving the worms/larva? for later is an interesting idea with the life. It probably should have been better explained though. Some player feedback would help with attacking. I couldn't really tell when the bite attack was actually hitting or not. Audio or minor character flashes/color changes could work. The enemy spawn did get really out of control after a while.

This is a good start to a game, but it does need some work.

Hi, can I actually bind the worms? No matter if I pressed Q or E, I still seem to eat them.

Hi,I don't know why I need to bind them, because nothing seems to happen after binding.I'd rather eating than binding them.

I was also a little confused at the difference between binding and eating. I see that my life counter goes up if I bind, and my hunger meter goes up if I eat, but it didn't appear to make a difference on how my HP was dropping. Some sounds to help clarify that something is happening would do this game a lot of benefit. I think I see what you are going for, but I was a little confused while playing.

There is no time freeze when using the store.

I kind of like spiders.

i enjoyed playing this. simple, enjoyable game and a good idea :) however it is very hard and has a few bugs here and there. for example these worms eat me when i try to figure out what to buy in the shop

I love the little spider graphic :)

I think the game could use a little more balance though, there was soooo many worms, wow. Maybe getting some play testers during the compo could help?

The game is nice and has potential! Good job! :)

I liked the spider graphic. I felt there were waaaay too many worms at some point, couldn't manage to eat all :P

Interesting game concept. The how to play could've been more clear on what the difference between binding and just eating the worm things is. The upgrades are kind of helpful, but the fact that so many enemies spawn so quickly makes it feel like most of the upgrades don't help at all. Sure, I can shoot fast but that doesn't matter if there's 15 guys in my way when I'm trying to eat or bind paralyzed ones.

This is a really nice idea you got here. Having to balance between eating and binding. It was not clear that the lives I took were to be used as money for the shop though. Not having to click everytime I would like to shoot would be great; just needing the hold the button would be enough. The upgrades didn't look that useful because I would be outnumbered by worms really quick...
