86! Fun little game that was easy to pick up! I also made a game about a bug eating apples, so I am biased to like this one :grin:

86! Fun little game that was easy to pick up! I also made a game about a bug eating apples, so I am biased to like this one :grin:
This is a really fun idea! Concept is great and game plays well, would love to see this expanded into something bigger, this is very cool.
My best score is 155.85: gnawmore.PNG
My strategy was to wiggle the mouse as fast as I could and prioritize areas about to be eaten, so their point values don't get lost. That run I got really lucky and wasn't stuck on the core while maximizing area. There's a cool risk-reward tradeoff with the countdown, on the one hand, you want to squeeze out as much score as you want, on the other hand, if you don't make it back, it was all for nothing. That really added another layer of strategy to the gameplay. The visuals were very cute, I like how the worm wiggles, I think it went well with the style of the game. The title screen is absolutely superb, I love how you can eat the title and everything if you try hard enough, that's very fun to play around with too. Music worked well too here, I think it fit well with the gameplay, same with the sound effects, the gnawing sounds of the worm were again very cute. Amazing job, well done!
I loved the art and music, and the way the main menu explains how to play is really nice. It would be great to have more levels, though I’m not sure how—maybe adding more apples so the creature can jump between them? Gj!
Art is awesome. Gameplay could be polished. Hope to see more!

Super simple and fun! Real good job, the only advise is that you should add a restart button when the game is over so I don't have to restart the game! Otherwise it is all good!
Thank you all for such high-quality feedback!So glad to see the comments when I woke up.It's an honor to have so many players engage with my creation and provide such sincere comments.
PS: I’ve added a 'TRY AGAIN' button after successfully completing the game, so now you don’t need to restart the game to keep going for a higher score. The update is live on itch.io!

Very interesting little game! I got 180 scores!
a small but fun game, wish it could've been expanded, having other levels for example. solid entry!
197.77, I had a few tries before to understand how the scoring works. It's fun !
Ok this is a really challenging one. Good job!
I liked it! I wish there was more to play. I laughed out loud at the funny "eating" sound. :) Also, the art is beautiful! The mechanic is pretty interesting as well. Please make more levels! :)
Super cute and pretty fun. Nice take on the theme. Fun happy music to go with the fun happy looks.
Short and sweet game, get in get out sort of mission. 135 was the best I got in about 15 tries. Pretty groovy music also.
Pretty amazing, especially considering it's compo, and (I guess) your first Ludum Dare game as well. Graphics and controls are on point and focus only on what is important. For all its cute graphics, the game manages to have lovecraftian moment ("you're rotting away with the apple" lol). There is a minor glitch where sometimes I need to hold mouse on the bug a long time, or retry holding several times until the timer and the game actually starts, not sure if it's just me being stupid. Keep creating, you're good at this!
Funny game!
This was a clever take! Fun little game, solid execution. Nice job. :)
Nice little game, good job!
This was a fun and impressive entry for the compo! I only got up to 125. I noticed that it took me a couple tries to get the click registered to start the timer, but it wasn't too bad. The game does a really great job of making you decide your strategy and pay attention to multiple things at once. Nice work!
Fun little mini game, love the cute artwork! Great Job! :)
Liked it! Concept is really really fun with the theme, easily understandable, and fun very fast. Suggestions to expand: maybe add more levels with different fruits (a banana-shaped level would be interesting!), or even an animation of a person actually crunching that apple. Nice job!
A very fun and interesting game, a great little game)
Cool art, cool music, great sound effects. Really dug the idea and the method of control - Would love to see it pushed further / used in some more levels.
Sounds and idea are very nice) got 155

very fun little game ;) Capture d’écran 2024-10-12 230921.png
Cute minimalist game! Bug controls were a bit janky though. the bug should have it's speed limited too i thinK!
Such a simple and fun concept. At first I though you were just supposed to get to the exit and was like "is that it? :sweat_smile:" but I'm glad it was a bit deeper than that. Could definitely see this expanded with more food items and hazards.
Cool take on the theme and short simple implementation :) Scored 751, was that cheating? XD brave_05hySywyZw.png
i was super proud of myself and was a bout to post this image with the text "Read' em and weep gentlemen", but then i saw all the other screenshots lol
