Worm Jazz

turn-based snake puzzler but it's a worm this time, potentially with a hat. functional grapics, shame about the jazz soundtrack (unless you're a fan), and [b]system requirements are absolutely crazy[/b] because why not use unreal engine for something like this and forget to optimize. resolution options (click through one by one, the worst), windowed mode (borderless too), separate volumes, a bunch of languages and toggles for motion blur, depth of field and screen shake. they're all on by default even though they should not exist in any game ever. settings are only available in the main menu, [b]pressing esc immediately leaves the level, losing all progress[/b]. dealbreaker right there. non-rebindable controls but mouse works in the menus and both arrows and undocumented wasd moves, r resets, u and undocumented backspace are unlimited undo. the latter is absolutely necessary in a puzzler to begin with and especially here, as [b]controls are too sensitive[/b]. can hold to move more than one tile but even just pressing directions might land you in an explosive or dead end situation. [b]dying resets the whole level, undo doesn't undo it[/b], another dealbreaker. 50-odd levels in var…

This is how a puzzle game should be done. What I like about [i]Worm Jazz[/i]: [list] [*]Simple and consistent mechanics. [*]Logical puzzles that allow for partial completion. [*]A merciful undo button that makes trial and error easy and enables you to break a puzzle down into sections. [*]Non-intrusive visual effects that can be turned off entirely. [*]Exploding worms and cool hats. [/list] What I dislike about [i]Worm Jazz[/i]: [list] [*]Nothing. [/list]

I would like to see a sequel called BEEbop jazz

The game is really charming and the undo mechanic keeps it relaxing instead of frustrating if you accidentally make a mistake and box yourself in.

Incredibly soothing puzzle game with immensely satisfying puzzels to solve. I can't believe how underrated this game is. Please never stop making games, devs, your work brought my (cancer patient) dad so much joy ♡

Best 50p I ever spent! This is a riot! A must-have for puzzle gamers.
