Squirm

worth the price! a fun little thing!

Squirm is one of those independent games that immediately communicates its intentions: challenge the player, make them laugh occasionally, and send them through a world that is as strange as it is dangerous. Created by Alex Carpenter, the game follows a small protagonist who awakens from a nap only to discover that his beloved rat companion has vanished. What begins as a simple rescue mission soon expands into a lengthy journey across the bizarre realm of Squimlia, a land populated by odd creatures, hazardous environments, and enough traps to test even the most patient platforming enthusiasts. At its core, Squirm is a precision platformer built around responsive movement and level mastery. Across more than 200 stages distributed among nine worlds, players are expected to dodge spikes, leap over bottomless pits, avoid projectiles, and survive increasingly complex hazards. The game steadily introduces new obstacles, including cannons, fire-based dangers, and unusual enemies that require quick reactions and careful timing. Rather than relying on gimmicks, the experience succeeds because its mechanics remain consistently reliable. Every failed jump feels like a lesson rather than a pu…

Squirm es de esos plataformeros que están baratos pero están bastante bien. No te va a cambiar la vida pero si estás buscando un juego cortito medianamente desafiante, y te gustan juegos como Celeste, creo que vale la pena jugarlo. En mi caso, cumplió el rol de aperitivo entre juegos un poco más largos. La pasé bien, recomiendo.

Good quick fun and not too difficult to 100%.

I give this game a 5/10 rating. I didn't finish the game - I wasn't frustrated or anything, but instead simply not motivated to continue on until the end. The game had a couple of strong moments - for instance the jetpack levels were nice - but in all it simply wasn't fun enough for me. I can totally see how other people might really enjoy this retro game style. Your milage may vary.

Fun little game
