Hello! This is my first Ludum Dare entry. This game is supposed to crash. Every glitch is a feature. It's my attempt to create cross-platform game (PC and Web) using just C++/OpenGL. This game was created without any frameworks, just low-level programming. There's no gameplay, just graphics and moving. I didn't achieved what I wanted, but it is working (for a short time).
WARNING! Memory eater will eat your browser memory (just a little).
The colors got weirder and weirder and after a short while, the game crashed. I don´t know if the colors where intentional... it looked cool though :D
@kristof Yeah. It was my intention :) @strong99 I wanted to make normal game with worm collecting points, but Emscripten (C++ to JS compiler) didn't work well with "delete (*iterator)" or "free" so I redesigned it to this strange crasher. :) Sorry for the crazy Windows binary. For me it was just a little faster than web version.
@FileCorrupted Yea, I was using just GLFW for creating window context and... that's all! Everything is a raw, clean OpenGL (and of course WebGL in Web version).
That's a really sweet idea! Didn't work out what you were getting at until the crash at the end, then I laughed. Quite fun, pretty trippy, not easy on the eyes! :)
Props for making it in C++ though, that sounds difficult..
Oh my goodness! It's freakin' awesome! :D There were some problems with finding secret keys(ALT+F4 didn't work as I supposed) but finally this colors went crazy !
Well, that was weird. I kinda like your description and absolutely love the game title. And I guess there's really great gameplay somewhere above, but the worm is so deep beneath the surface that the game crushes before he can actually get there. Gonna go 'play' it few more times!
I finally figured out what was the problem with memory leaks. :D But I won't update this version. I will let worm live! :) Now I am ready for the next Ludum Dare.
Thank you all for this nice comments. It is my first (and "symbolic") entry. I didn't know somebody would like this "game".
@GreatBigJerk As I said: secret keys are left and right arrow. @StudioWolfox I don't know. :D It sounds weird, but I didn't thought about second meaning when I was making it.
This was the same experience for my eyes that my tastebuds had that time I ate fruity pebbles after taking LSD.
:P
Interesting game, not convinced it actually crashed though... it's not that hard to dispatch an alert message. I wonder if I stared at the screen for like 2 hours would something happen?

@Zyper What was your idea on it? It's more an interactive movie like this :) The windows binary went crazy, (too high speed or framerate)
gj in my opinion

Also sorry for my english.
Thank you.
Wow, this certainly is an interesting game.
I feel like I've just been on an acid trip.
But worth it! xD
