The movement was a bit weird sometimes but it was very fun, the music was good, and it had fun areas/levels! If you keep going on this, maybe a healthbar for bosses! Felt like a smaller version of hollow knight, and had good theme for the game Jam!

Nice game, I like art and sounds! Unfortunately, can't pass second tutorial level, platforming sections are too hard for me.
WOW! This has got to be one of my favorite games so far, so well done and very polished! I loved the story, the controls are really nice (except for wall jumping its very unforgiving sometimes). I had fun trying to figure out how I can combine my jump, wall jump, and shotgun blast to boost myself up!
Great levels and an amazing amount of variety which is impressive for a 48hr game jam! I love the art and the SFX are very funny, the music is nice and exciting I think it fits it perfectly!
I was playing in windowed mode on browser when I encountered the boss and saw this
I thought it's intentional at first but then I fullscreened the game and the boss fight was much easier LOL, great job on the game, very well done for a 48hr game jam!
haha I laughed at the idea of the worm going all rambo as soon as I read the game title xD
I think you guys nailed the story/setup, the art and the sound effects. I believe however that the concept of the game could have been more focused on the worm actually going "rambo" and spreading carnage around, instead of having a lot of platforming/exploration (and I have to agree with other comments, the wall jump was a bit too harsh, maybe a bit overused, though the momentum thing was a neat idea).
I seriously think you could have a good thing going here, even more so if you decide to push harder on the "-this is a nice day to hunt me some bird-, said the worm", bombastic aspect of the game.
Thanks for the good laugh!
This game is so cute, I love the art, and the idea is so interesting. All of us fellow worm lovers shall unite to take out the government controlled birds! >:D I'm gonna go and invent a worm-friendly shotgun.
I really liked the premise and the art alongside the sound effects were super cute. Seeing all of this cuteness with a shotgun was jjust hilarious. Unfortunately, the wall jumping felt a bit clumsy.
Excellent art and game! I really enjoyed the platforming mechanics, although the wall jumping was a little difficult to figure out at first.
Good take on the prey becomes the hunter idea! I liked the worms jump mechanic, made me think to "Worms" the game actually :D
Great job!
Nice graphics and nice game :)
Maybe the controls are a bit hard tho, like arrows + mouse + space is maybe too much
That's the cutest worm holding a shotgun I've ever seen!! But seriously, very good graphics and super responsive controls. Great work!!
The sound effects were beautiful. An awesome platformer with funn mechanics. Great job!!
I might have been missing an extra control, but I couldn't get the wall jumping working in the second area :(
I found it very difficult, as another person said, I think the wall jumping is much easier with 2 hands on arrow keys and spacebar instead of WASD. Regardless, the art is fun, music/sound effects are very good especially the sound when you flip up from the top of a wall onto the platform. I also really loved the intro scene- we had something similar in our game with a "cutscene" at the beginning so it's nice to see someone else who did as well. Great work!
Very mechanically complex platforming, the wall jump is indeed a bit too difficult. However, other parts still feel quite smooth and the art is amazing, especially the intro sequence. Great job!
Nice style and story! :) The controls feel alright, except the wall jump. I really struggled with that a couple of minutes to get out of the cave. I eventually gave up at the shotgun jump part of the tutorial, because it was too painful for my wrist to try to wall jump all the time.
