Wasn't sure how the worm killed me. While I think the game looks great and is very fun, the UI could use some work. I just felt like I was presented with too much information at a time and for a quick play type game like this I think it was too much information. 

But otherwise I really enjoyed it! Great work!

I also felt that UI/UX could use some polish, and it's good to know I wasn't alone. I will give it a thought.

Thank you for playing, and for the feedback!

I see! It feels like a mix of Breakout, a roguelike, and a digging game. I think it's a super cool idea.

The game feels pretty good to play too. My only question was... what happened to the ARGON theme?

Developer(+1)

Since Argon was optional, I decided to forgo it.

I'm glad you liked it, thanks for playing!

Ah, got it! ARGON and DOMINATE were optional choices. My bad!

I only realized it after checking the guidelines again. No wonder I didn't see any feedback regarding the theme...

That definitely changes how I look at the game. Though I'm starting to feel that evaluating a game without a main theme can actually be pretty tough!
