This was a very simple game, which is fine for a worm game. You eat leaves, you grow your body parts. There were a couple of irks that got from this game however, The sound of the caterpillar moving seems to have a weird bit of audio clipping, so the sound is kinda fuzzy and not so stable. Could be a computer thing, but still pays to check. Level 3 is pretty hard, mostly because of the tracking bees. I'm not a fan of the bees periodically spawning every couple of so seconds, I think they sound spawn once you've collected a certain number of leaves (1 bee at 3 parts, 2 bees at 5 parts, 3 bees at 8 parts), that would make it more fair. Also, I've had my body eaten and I lose my limbs appropriately, but other times I get eaten in the middle and I die instantly. Can you not get eaten twice, or is it actually a bug? I'm not quite sure. All in all, good work!

I really enjoyed this game, even though I couldn't beat the last level. The controls of this game are great too. The music was also really pleasant :)
This is a super cute and fun little game with nice graphics, audio and simple but effective gameplay, nice job! (agreement on the wasps being a little too difficult even though I managed to get pretty close!) also as many have mentioned the caterpillar movement came out really nice!
Really fun game.
I played the first game like Snake, not touching my own body and never stopping until I realised that I didn't have to.
Also, level three was a nightmare because of the bees, never got to finish. On that note, maybe a Retry Level option would be good.
Fantastic game though. Good Job.
Pretty good game! I like the theme and core mechanic, and I like that what part of your caterpillar gets hit affects how many segments you lose - thats a nice twist on the Snake game formula. Those bees on Level 3 make it really challening... perhaps too challenging... I gave up after 5 tries haha. If I restarted on the same level each time I would have stuck with it but having to start all over was a lil frustrating. Overall a nice game, nice idea, and quite well made :)
Enjoyed this game! The controls where nice to use for turning and going forwards with the caterpillar. Found the different bug types good for level hazards. The bees were scary on level 3.
I liked the fact how we both had similar ideas for our games from taking inspiration from Snake. It is interesting the different approaches we done to make these games.
I really like the controls, it changes the basic "snake like", on the other hand the bees are normally nice, here they eat us :)
I like art style and simplistic music fit perfectly.Game have some retro feeling and i like that.Caterpillar hurt sound is funny.Smooth movement.3rd level is quite challenging.Very good game.
I like it! Its simple and cute. The walking sound is kinda annoying tho.
enjoyed the game! thought the art was awesome. didn't find any programming bugs. the damaged audio was a bit too loud though for me. thought it was dope though overall!
