Wormatozoa

⠀

Fun but difficult precision platformer with very satisfying movement. The extra content and achievements also keep the game fresh and challenging.

Great game that makes you feel like the disgusting putrid worm that you are.

EDIT: A recent update has provided fixes on a lot of things that I had previously mentioned, so to honor my word, I'm changing my negative review to a positive one. I'll leave my old review below, but just keep in mind that I now recommend this for anyone looking for a fresh challenge. For a full game with barely any players or reviews that I enjoyed, it seems cruel at first to give a negative review. But as you'll see, there's a lot that tells me this is far from a truly finished product. In case I get some sort of dispute, I originally played the demo version way back in October with a total of around 7ish hours before getting the full version, after which I played another 15 on top of that and became one of only two people (not including the dev) to beat the game normally so far. So, I know what I'm talking about here. Wormatozoa is a mouse-controlled game where you guide a parasitic worm of infinite length towards the goal in each level, with a vast array of obstacles and enemies standing in your way. The game is spread across 5 different worlds, each with their own sets of gimmicks and level order. What do I mean by that? Aside from World 1, where unlocking the boss only req…

"Wormatozoa" is certainly an unusual game, not many games put you into the role of a parasitic worm (except for the politics based games I guess). Unfortunately once the unpleasant veneer is put aside, we get a somewhat shallow Itchio reject that plays like a mobile app... put your finger on your iphone screen to make the worm move between "safe" spots. Collect what you have to collect, avoid the conveyor belts and spikes... you know the deal. It's not really a platformer but I guess it's close to one. The gameplay gets repetitive fairly quickly, it's just not all that fun to actually play once you've had an uncomfortable chuckle at the unpleasant premise. While I couldn't find this on the mobile app stores, everything about it looks and feels like it's a mobile app designed for mobile phones... for PC gaming enthusiasts, it's not going to give you a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That alone is enough to disqualify this from any recommendation. We don't spend thousands building gaming rigs so that we can pretend they're iPhones and play iPhone games and mobile apps. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream …

had a lot fun with the game :p
