Wyrmhole

Consumption [ kuhn-suhmp-shuhn ] noun

the act of consuming, as by use, decay, or destruction.

Born from a singularity, the wyrm acts on instinct, instinct which whispers but one word into its ancient mind:

CONSUME.

Consider playing Wyrmhole through the free downloadable file for the best version of the game(WEBGL currently contains some unintended audio artifacts and delayed music).

Controls

• WASD / ARROW KEYS
  • Simple directional movement
• SPACEBAR
  • Teleport to the cursor in front of the player
• R
  • Pause the game

The Very Hungry Space Wyrm

In this arcade style action game borrowing heavily from the "snake" classic, consume planets and dangerous machines as you grow ever more massive, utilizing the unique ability to create wormholes in space.

Wormhole. Wyrmhole. Get it?

Press "SPACE" to create a wormhole, teleporting to the cursor in front of the player. Teleporting directly on top of an enemy counts as a critical hit, refunding the wormhole. 

Wormholes can also be used to cross map boundaries and appear on the other side. Consume planets to restore wormhole charges. 

Energy Overload

Mines are dangerous, unless they are devoured immediately. After consuming three mines, the explosive energy will be converted into a deadly beam of matter, eviscerating most foes in its path.

Developer Notes

As one of my first games not developed for a game jam, I had to learn a lot about managing my own time, which, as I am writing this several months after I began developing this simple project, I clearly need to work on. 

Besides time management, something that became very clear to me as I worked on and off on this project was my poor code management. It always took me a little bit to re-figure out how things worked after coming back from a week/month break, which definitely hurt my productivity. I'll have to work on these both going forwards.

Overall I like how this game came out.
Happy playing gamers :)
