The game plays really well and the music fits a lot. My only issue is that the enemy spawn rate is a bit too low for me so that I spent most of my time waiting for new enemies to appear. Apart from that everything is awesome.

Honestly, I love the game's premise. Being a badass worm tryna kill your predators with a gun is sick! Combined with the groovy, tense music, I definitely felt immersed in the game even if it's a lil' bare bones as of now. Amazing potential, I'd say! I like how the pistol reacts to your movement, leading you to shoot yourself if you push yourself against a wall and shoot.

Umm, while playing the game, it did break once when I retried it, which was a little weird?

The music is HYPE! I appreciated that the baddies had spatial sound cues attached to their spawn. I had some mouse issues that full screen seemed to resolve, but it seems like the game doesn't like super-wide aspect ratios.

Incredible music/audio. I got quickly hooked and into moving around and shooting especially with that music. The gun seems to slide away from where I expect sometimes, so that could use some tightening up. The music vibes almost make me want to slide around, that could be cool to add.

Amazing game!
