I like the idea here; I'm always a fan of physics-based games. Some feedback would be to have the worm follow your mouse a little more accurately, and to reduce the distance between planets. It'd be interesting (and fit the theme a little better) if the worm had to clear layers of a planet as it worked toward the centre?

This is one of the best games i have played so far this jam. I love everything about it and especially the graphics. Extremely cool game!

nice game!!! reminds me of slither.io, esp with the left click mechanic
i wish there was a more clear indication on where the enemies were on the planets :p

Definitely an interesting game. The worm was a bit tricky to control at first but I got the hang of it after the first planet. I'm also not sure if there were only three planets or if I was missing something. When I destroyed the 3rd planet there were no more arrows and I just went in a random direction until I died. I was a bit surprised that another worm appeared when I destroyed the planet cores, I would personally have thought to make the worm grow rather than spawning a new worm. Nice job overall though! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 _(No worm emoji on windows so have some snakes instead)_

Really nice concept! I enjoyed playing this. Turning around could be a bit easier. I noticed two bugs: on the third planet(Jupiter?) the camera sometimes goes through the surface and it can really confuse the player. Also after beating the third planet I had no pointers where to go and I died in cold space. :( Despite this, I still had a lot of fun!
Very good games, i have a fun time playing it. The lisibility of our position can be improve but it was really fun.
Control can be a bit of a challenge to get during first few tries, but I love the creativity you had for this game. Great work!
Great game! I really like the art and gameplay! As some other mentioned, the controls could be a little more accurate and smooth. Nice Job!
This reminds me of that one worm game on congregate. Pretty nice! The controls are a bit arduous and its not too clear where you have to go after eating the core. Also, a time limit is not a very good threat incentive. It'd be better if the player would just take damage from something.
This was a lot of fun ! I love the music tracks and the visuals , I actually really like your steering / control mechanism I just wish it was better explained because I think there's some cool nuances to it that are hard to grasp through trial and error , I was able to destroy 4 /5 enemies on my 3rd playthrough and I dig it . I feel like you were exploring that classic CLOP / QWOP/ Octodad unreliable wobbly physics- centric controls genre and I enjoyed it from that perspective !
This is a pretty neat idea. It gave me sort of a Rampage vibe. The controls need a little work for sure. And I'm not sure how much game there is. I went through three worlds and then the little arrows disappeared and I kinda just got lost in space. I couldn't tell if the other worms were "my team" or working against me.

I really enjoyed this game, I didn't read the instructions properly at first so i didn't know you had to use your mouse to guide the worm, but after I re-read it made a lot more sense. The music and design are really good, and the idea of slowly but surely amassing a worm army that ravages the universe is awesome! The only issue I had was that the arrow pointing you to the next location disappeared when I wanted to go to the last planet
Good sound design and game play , love the physics
This is really unique idea for a game!
I had tons of fun steering my worm to eat enemies in the most efficient path possible. Maybe some kind of combo counter could be added to encourage this behavior in the player?
I found the camera made things confusing at times. Sometimes the camera would clip inside of the planet making me unsure where my worm is relative to everything else.
Was the third planet the last planet? I never saw the ringed planet from the screenshots, and after eating the core of the third planet I wasn't given a fourth arrow to follow, so I just sort of drifted through space looking for more planets to eat until I died.
Thank you for the game! I had fun playing it.
Very original and a blast to play. Also a great job on the music and audio.
My one point of critique is that turning around feels a bit clunky at times.

Yo that music is way oldschool! Absolutely loved it, the worm.io style gameplay with what felt like a Katamari Damacy twist was a really interesting concept. I wasn't sure if I won or not, I destroyed like 3 planets I think and couldn't find another one before I ran out of worm juice lol this was a great entry with some serious potential post jam! Great job you all :)
THis was a fun game, i had lots of fun blowing up buildings and eating planets. Unfortunately it would not let me do anything on the last planet and i died DX.
Congratulations on your game, some things need more contact, but in general it is a very pleasant game, I hope you continue with the project and evoua more and more, if it is possible to give your feedback on my game I will be grateful, a big hug.
