As a baby 2d game dev, this seems like a huge project! I think everything looks really good too, and it’s very fun to scurry around and peck at worms. Still trying to get enough to fly away though - if you have any tips, feel free to share :P

One note: it can get hard to see the worms as you get bigger (since your body’s in the way), so it might be nice if the camera zoomed out or panned up as you grew so you could always see in front of you? Again, not a 3d dev, so I don’t know if this is actually helpful advice or not lol - feel free to ignore!

Thanks so much for your comment! I did have a lot of trouble getting the camera to work the way I wanted it to. Every time I tried a fix it broke something else. I will definitely take another look at it and try to fix the camera for the future. I’m so glad to hear you did enjoy it. As the other commenter pointed out the worms are sort of on a RNG that needs some balance. I’ve found if I stay close to the staring zone I can find more worms faster before they burrow back unground Cheers!

It's very RNG dependant whether you can get enough worms to live or not,I either got 3-4, or all of them, so maybe that needs a balance.

Its decently fun.

Thanks for taking the time to share feedback! You are absolutely right I will take a good look at the RNG to balance the spawns of worms. I am glad you had fun with it!
