very cool!
something about your writing style just sucked me in immediately. i love how you took the theme of "threshold" and reflected it in practically every single word. there's something to be said about how the only options in this game are to watch your "resources" dwindle away, out of your control, as you either wait without purpose for an eternity or accept an inevitable ending. 6/4 worms would get eaten again.
The suspense of this game was fantastic. It didnt take me long to realize no matter what I was going to die. but the fear of how and knowing there was still stuff I could do to prolong my existence was nerve wracking. Like knowing you will face the end and not being able to come to terms with it. It was super cool to be able to evoke that feeling through text alone. Love this submission. great work!
This is a cool concept of giving the player no impression to start with, only give them a few options to work with, then some cryptic text to decipher through times and iterations of play. The constant curiosity of what's coming after you and the doubt of whether what you're doing is even effective to combat against it. It's nice - allows the player's imagination to do a lot of the core work.
