This is my second Ludum Dare entry, and I hope you'll enjoy it. Worm War is a mix between snake and top-down shooter games. Fight as a worm, kill your enemies and upgrade yourself to face the bigger and stronger ones. Note that enemy spawning doesn't work as well as I wanted, so if you don't see a hostile worm nearby just run around, and you'll (hopefully) find some.
Instructions: W: accelerate A/D: turn Left mouse button: shoot
Right mouse button: - click on parts and other stuff to carry them around - equip or unequip items
Using powerup and repair: To lenghten your worm, pick up a powerup and feed it to your worm by right clicking on its head. To repair your equipment, pick up a wrench and hold it over a damaged part. Armors get twice the repairs recieved by weapons.
Took me a while to figure out how movement worked, it would be a lot faster if there were a background texture or something. Also would be nice to put a low pass filter on the audio :-)
Has a lot of potential. The worm building mechanism is very interesting and fun to use, the game could use some background though so we know where we are heading, or a basic minimap showing the enemies and power ups near us. Great job!
