About Squirm
Welcome to the land of Squimlia!
After a previous adventure, you and your rat friend stop for a snooze. When you wake up, the rat is gone and strange creatures have appeared across the land as if from out of nowhere! What has happened while you were asleep? Where is your rat friend?
Get to the bottom of these mysteries by squirming your way through tons of trap-infested levels!
9 Varying Worlds, 6 Different Bosses, and so much more!
200+ levels of platforming madness
I hope you have tough legs because boy, are you gonna be jumping a lot. Well, you could always just not jump if you enjoy being impaled by spikes, scorched by fireballs, blasted by eyeballs, beaten by enemies, sucked into black holes, getting gunned down by cannons, etc. Hey look on the bright side, at least there are plenty of cool guys you can find down here on your adventure, you should try talking to them every now and then because you don’t have real friends!
Enjoy your stay!
Hey, it's not so bad down here once you realize the inevitability of your own death. But, despite the peril that lies just ahead, you feel something pushing you on, something calling to you. something about a rat... guess you'll just have to suck it up and find out for yourself!

Quite liked this one! It is by no means perfect, but it is a fairly difficult pixel-platformer with dark and dumb newgrounds-esque anarcho-presentation. Graphics, gameplay, OST and sounds are more than decent (really liked the score of the final map) and you can kill ~2 hours with it.1 found this helpful
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
