Pretty fun.
Probably one of the better flash games I played this week. It's not really that hard as many make it out to be. The controls are easy to get used to and after dying a couple times, you get the hang of playing. Great game, hoping for a sequel.
Very well polished game
I'm surprised, I thought this game would have more positive reviews. It's got creative enemies and is relatively well polished except for the upgrade system.
PROTIP: If you're out of the planet for more than half a second when you're jumping out to attack non-air units, you're playing totally wrong. And probably dying too. Position your worm so that you jump out sideways to the planet's ground, so that you'll land back into safety after a very brief moment.
The controls definitely take some getting used to but it's not because the controls are bad, it's because it takes time to get used to the worm's limited ability to change directions quickly. Overall though they are very smooth and without the worm's bad turning the game would be far too easy and mundane. Well, except for all those people who don't seem to know how to attack without getting half of their health shot out in one jump.
That said, the upgrade system in this game is fairly useless. Health is virtually the only worthy upgrade, with attack helping a minor amount and speed only helping on the last boss. In fact I'm willing to bet if I only got the health upgrades and the rest didn't exist, the game would have been just as difficult without them. The health power-up was slightly useful though.
If an upgrade system exists in the game it should give a feeling of progression. Except for the health upgrades, the worm didn't feel like it was getting ANY stronger. The power-up level upgrades are too unreliable because the power-ups that appeared during levels are selected at random. There should be more customizability for useful stats on the worm instead, such as upgrading the worm's turning ability slightly or giving it a better chance/range of eating soldiers instead of knocking them aside.
That aside though, the game is very nice. Good music, very pleasing and cute graphics, relatively fast-paced action, moderate difficulty, and best of all relatively creative and fun enemies to fight. The fact that I have to change my target priorities in the middle of a level frequently is a good thing (Such as deciding whether to take out Lirium farmers or to attempt to pick out a few enemies on a less crowded side so I don't lose as much health, or attacking any dangerous jet soldiers who didn't have friends around to protect them at the moment).
Make the upgrade system more fun and appealing to use, and then this game could be a 10.
Great Game
This game was a challenge and I enjoyed it immensely. If you have trouble beating a boss or the final boss, check the comments for hints
Original gameplay, difficult and very good
My main complaint is that the little worms, which can be used for healing, abound at the beginning of the level (when you don't need them) and later pretty much disappear. It would be nice if either they kept appearing occasionally (although there are other health bonuses later on) or the worm wouldn't eat them when it's at full health.
Another suggestion, can the mouse icon be enlarged? I often lost track of it and even went out of the game screen, which made me lose control.
Except for these issues, gameplay is original and good, there is enough variety of enemies to make it interesting and bonuses to enjoy. A really good game!
games good
not bad really.. frustrating IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.. ONLY IF..
upgrades are fine, not that much but it does helps.. prefer upgrading the passive rather than the flame lightning and +help bonus ups..
agree with clean ---> "to reveal as little as possible while attacking" the burning hurting circle at the middle of your planet? not a problem.. it did hurt, A LOT , i thought it was a really great powerup....
games kinda redundant at some point.. just kill FIRST the planet hurters.. you can deal with the footmen anytime.. circling around, collecting powerups.. around and around evading death and doing some killing SLOWLYYYYY......
patience is needed in the game.. if your freaking itchy to kill fast, just be careful.. 1 wrong, well, some wrong attacks means death..
i do wish i can be a marine? or a base that spawns infantry to defend or kill attack worms something.. other way around..
