In this game you are an oversized worm that jumps above the ground and eatshumans, birds, dromedars and other animals.
When you have eaten enough of them, the humans will start to guard the area.

You have got to give the source for that! That is so awsome! 10/10

[Robo]

Really cool! 9/10

[evilpacman]

isnt that from the move Tremors?

[Dinsdale]

Reminds me from Tremors adn Twin mould from the legend of zelda majhoras mask. Cool game though!!!

[Black-Hawk]

can you please host your screenshots at imageshack because i can't see photobucket ones
but i will download anyway

[TechnoSuperguy]

Strange, I thought this had been finished a long time ago... eh, anyway, awesome game. I loved the old version (I've had it on my computer for months), and this one's even better! 10/10

[Coffee]

I was just wondering if you could maybe make me an example of how to do those types of physics, I have a small idea of how it maybe be done, but just to be sure, could you please make me one, well actually everyone? Thanks.

And nice game, I played it before.

[JTR]

Robo Thanks!
evilpacman The pic? Yes it is.
Dinsdale Thanks. I haven't played that Zelda yet.
Black-Hawk Thanks for downloading. I checked imageshack, but it was too crowded to work.
TechnoSuperguy I made a few little tweaks. It was previously in "Work in progress."
MF3dragon You mean the worm's body...? Here's my example on that:

i like the game [play but how come u using termos screen shot and in the game i could not see any of it. . .

[the_real_gumby]

I like this game
Are you still adding stuff to it? It says v1.00, so I wasn't sure.
Anyzwayzy, This game is awesome! And adding more stuff would make it even Awesomer! Like, multiplayer would be cool
Rock Rock on!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Wow! Thanks!

And I love how you can hit the rocks now, lol.

[Shadestorm]

Um. Wow. This freaking rocks man. I never knew I had such a strong desire to
burrow 'neath the sand, bursting out only to chomp on the afrikana animals,
peoples, and military.

Loved it. Very impressed.

[Noir]

Awesome game, 10/10! Which is not something I give very often

[hughman]

wow very nice, fairly simple idea, great graphics, and fairly addicting. great game!

[Ramirez]

Indeed, Great game. The idea of being an all devouring earth worm rocks ;D

Mabey you should implement somekind of growth mechanism?

Like snakes xD

[Christa]

That was a blast! A growth system may not be a bad idea, though...

10/10!

[the_real_gumby]

Isn't there already a growth system?
I didn't notice it at first because it's so gradual, but once I died after playing for a while and started again, I was kinda surprised at how small the worm starts out

still 10/10

[Lucky7]

????

Wait, I thought there was already a death worm......

[JTR]

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
the_real_gumby This is the first official version. That's why it's "v1.00." I might still do some adjustments.
Lucky7 There was. In the "Work in Progress" section.

[Jabberwock]

Ha. Very nice, I like the physics (though they're a little tough to get used to) and the graphics. The creatures aren't really very detailed, but they're pretty funny to watch, and I like the explosions. The menu seems very incongruous with the rest of the game, though, and the lens flare is annoying.

Also, this game has got some great variety. Very impressive. The concept, too, is pretty original, and pretty well-executed. Nice job.

Edited by Jabberwock, 01 March 2007 - 11:50 PM.

[sid673]

9/10. I loved it but it would of been more retro if you made the graphics less detailed.

[Lucky7]

Good point.

<3 The game.

[JTR]

I agree. However, my next game is really, really retro-styled. "Robot Attack 4000."


Jabberwock:
Thanks for the feedback. There will be an option to turn off the lens flare in the next update.

[9_6]

My score is 1900.
Great game!
The only thing I don't like are the pillow shaded sprites.
They would look better if you didn't try to shade them at all.
I could help you with the sprites if you want me to.

You can abuse those little worms pretty well by just letting them multiply for a while and then eat them.
I don't find that bad but it starts lagging if there are a many little worms though, maybe that is because of the 'digging trace' they leave behind them.
A population limit for underground creatures could help there.

[Andy]

Tremors was one of my favorite movies growing up. Because of this I really enjoy games with monster worms. (And games that rip off the movie case. ) The graphics are pretty good and the sounds are fine, but the game play and feel stands out the most to me. I really enjoy the speed of your worm and the crunching noise and a bite into the next camel. Keep up the good work.

[JTR]

New version uploaded. (1.01)

9_6 You were right about the sprites. They look much better without the borders/shading. Thanks. I also limited the diggers.
Andy Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

I also fixed some other things, so you might want to replace the older version with this.

[magma_100]

Really addictive 10/10

Edited by magma_100, 04 March 2007 - 09:23 PM.

[Rynov]

Highly addictive! Great controls. 10/10

[Bladebuddy]

Best Game ive played in while! loved jumping out if the sand to snatch a bird, an then come crashing down on another poor animal that had the bad luck to get in the jaws of the death worm. one sugestion. since the way you set it up it like a mini game, you should make limited saving, that way it not so easy to get a milloin points, and kinda evens out gameplay.


and if you want another rating. 10/10

Edited by Bladebuddy, 06 March 2007 - 05:47 AM.

[JTR]

magma_100 That's good! Thanks for the 10!
Rynov Great! Thank you!
Bladebuddy Wow, thats nice to hear! And good catch with the saving-thing. I forgot about that. It'll be fixed it in the next update.

[lord_heman]

I remember playing this while it was in the WIP. Great game! Good job. Simple, but very fun!

[RemakeME]

Sweet game! BTW MY score was: 304 Longest Combo: 4

[Firesoft]

WHOA! AWESOME!

Congratulations! You get a well earned, highly valuable, super-cool, very rare, wonderful, great, powerful, unique, never-before-seen, first time, rating from Firesoft, a 10/10!!

Small note: I actually made a game that has pretty much the exact same physics engine when the worm jumps out of the ground... I used it in an airplane game. Very good game indeed! Very original!

[Evan Sawyer]

awesome game
great gameplay
i loved trying to reach helicopters
the replay value is the highest (the highest being having a spot on my disk, as i'm sure on many other people's disks)

[mitchbbaker]

wow thats really good its simple with good graphics sounds and music. this ones a keeper

[Pwnarerer]

This game rocks.
Its one of my favorite games now.

10/10.

[Black-Hawk]

man i posted ages ago but i didn't actually say anything about the game

this game is so awesome...i love playing it for ages and getting my worm huge and killing all those aliens and other psycho crap that tries to kill me

i found a sot of bug...if you exit the ground at a very low angle and turn upwards correctly you can fly through the air but it is not very good because you get shot alot

this is one of the few that stay on my 128MB USB drive 10/10!!!

[eman]

Best game I have ever played that was made in gm!
This is sell worthy and so addictive!!
10/10!!!

[Berzerker]

[JZ Games]

Wow great fun. 9.5/10

[softhunterdevil]

I really enjoyed it ...

Do you plan to add any danger under the ground ?
I think this may add some spice to the game.

[Dragon Roses]

Very cool!! I give it a 10/10!
Congrats! XP

[Wabak]

really among the mini-games I played, this is among the best. I especially love how there is an increasing amount of stuff to eat as time pass. One thing however, the little mine ALWAYS end up on the side of the map and I think it would have been better if the little guys would put them everywhere.
