*Edit: added a mac version, though I can't test it so it likely won't work. Let me know if you try it.
Prepare yourself for the most realistic, state of the art worm simulator ever made!
Actually, we didn't get anywhere near to finishing this game. On Saturday, when loading the level for the first time the game was running at 5 fps, so Sunday was wasted rebuilding everything from scratch :(
The core mechanics:
You are a worm.
You can only move through peristalsis (google it).
Point your head with the arrow keys, press space to start inching forward from the back, one segment at a time.
You can't move through rocks.
You can eat dirt, and poop out clay.
You can also eat clay (eww).
For every 15 blocks of dirt you eat, you will grow longer.
You will fall if you don't have a solid block under you.
This was going to be a puzzle platformer, but sadly, because of the technical issues, there's no time to make a level editor (let alone design a level).
Why is it 2012 you ask? You'll see when we're done...
