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!
This is a really good game! It controls very nicely! Well done!
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!
Thank you for playing! We are really happy with how it came out. Completely agree about the wasps, I haven't managed to complete it either yet. It has been done though!
Good little game ! I love how smooth are the caterpillar moves !
Thank you! Getting the caterpillar movement to work was really satisfying :)
I really like the way the caterpillar moves, very fun!
Thank you, really happy to hear you enjoyed the game!
Enjoyed the game! Easy controls and addictive gameplay. Congrats :D
Thank you, really glad it got you a bit addicted :D
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.
That's a good idea to have a level select so more people (or any people?) can see the end and our beautiful butterfly sprite! Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
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 :)
Yeah, we know it's too hard, we ran out of time to balance the challenge. Shame, but about an hour before submission it was even more difficult... Thanks for persevering anyway!
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.
Thanks for playing! Our game was originally going to be a lot more like yours, a scroller with obstacles as well as enemies, but we decided to keep it simple. Your game is fun!
PS - they are meant to be wasps!
I really like the controls, it changes the basic "snake like", on the other hand the bees are normally nice, here they eat us :)
Don't fret fellow bee enthusiast, those are intended to be wasps, but I appreciate it is difficult to tell with their super kawaii faces.
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.
Yes, 3rd level is punishingly difficult! We ran out of time to playtest it and improve the balance. But it is possible to complete it. Thanks for taking the time to play and comment!
I like it! Its simple and cute. The walking sound is kinda annoying tho.
Yeah all of the sfx are too high in the mix, they were added fairly late on, but we might adjust that if we go back to the game. Thanks for the feedback and for playing our game!
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!
Thanks for the feedback - we might return to the game to polish it up a bit and will definitely take this into account. Thanks for playing!
very fun and cute art style!
Thanks for playing! Flower Shower is great by the way!
