Help Wormy journey into the earth.
Dig deeper and deeper and consume different foods for different effects.
Yes, there is fire underground, I guess it is magma.
Watch out for underground holes!
Don't move into your own body.
A twist on the classic Snake gameplay. Instead of playing top down, the game has a side-view and you are digging down deeper and deeper.
Alternative title: Wormy's Big Dig
Currently there are 7 levels.
Playable on the web on itch.io or at the Lexaloffle BBS.
Alternatively download the executables on itch.io (I only tested the linux version, but they should all work fine as Pico-8 seems relatively stable).
- Arrow keys: Move
- Y/C: Mute the music
- X/V: Restart the current level
- Enter: Pause menu, restart from here
Everything else should be explained in the game.
- Watch out when making tight U-turns, you might hurt yourself
Everything was created in Pico-8, for coding I did use VSCode.
This was my second Ludum Dare (I did one MiniLD and one full LD on the old site).
I did a short Pico-8 tutorial as preparation, apart from that this was my first time developing in Pico-8 and my first time programming Lua.
Level features are read from the sprites as they are placed on the map. Adding more shapes of existing features is therfore very easy, up to the resource limits of Pico-8.
This was my first time making my own music for anything, doing it in Pico-8 seemed very accessible and fun.
I might write a blog post tomorrow about my other thoughts about this LD.
Thanks you for playing and I can't wait to play your entries!
