Ludum Dare #57extra
Wamps Hate Falling Apples
Wamps Hate Falling Apples
Use the tools to dig and places ladders.
Scroll with mouse wheel or up/down arrow keys.
More ladders are created over time. Be careful not to get the wamps stuck in a deep hole.
Dig up worms to eat apples and seek revenge!
You win when you destroy 100 apples.
This game was inspired by *Maginot or Womps Hate Water* from LD56. You should go play it. It's awesome! Thanks vfqd! I played through that game like 20 times with my kids!
I worked on this game with my 2 kids (9 and 11). They did a lot of the art and design. The crunching sound is my kid eating an actual apple.
The music was composed by Suno. I wish I could write music as good as the AIs.
I used a custom game engine I’ve been tinkering with for the last few years. It’s C++ with emscripten for the web build.
I love the Extra format! It’s the only way I can make a game with everything in my life. I put in more hours this time than I normally do. This game was bigger than I intended to make, but it's fun to make games! For this LD, I put in about 40 hours.
Thanks for playing!

Excellent work, albeit tooltips on the building buttons would have gone a long way.

Really fun game I am definitely coming back to play again, but it really needs a better explanation as to what each object does. I know they have a bit of an explanation under the upgrade, but I still found myself really confused for a bit and it would have been nice to read more an explanation of how the game works in the description.
Liked the epic music that reminded you that this was not just a game for the wamps :laughing:
Very cool gameplay, the first time around I was wondering if it was too easy, but then trying to beat the game as fast as possible ends up being quite a challenge! My lowest time was around 220s and I still felt like I made some lame choices lol.
Thanks a lot!!
