Tailboom

Hi there.

This is a game created for the LowRez game jam 2024. That is why it is 64x64 resolution. In my previous submission, I bended the rule a little bit with fancy processing. However, this time I decided to make it truly 64x64, including writings. That's why you might not be able to understand all writings.

This game revolves around a Mike. A worm underground seeking food. He has to navigate the cave system to find all food and return to his nest (a hole in the cave). He must do this quickly since he will die after the time runs out. But mike has an ability, he can pop his tail so that it explodes, to destroy worn out rocks. Be careful to not blow your head. Be mindful that this game is a bit difficult and there are a lot of areas to be stuck on. Thats why there is a reset button on the pause menu. : )

This game currently supports touch, keyboard/ mouse and very limited gamepad controls. (UI navigation is not support by gamepads).

To move the Mike, just use WASD or arrow keys. For touch, use on-screen controls. To drop your tail, press the opposing movement key to the direction where mike is facing. (Similar to the game Snake). You can only drop your tail when you are stationary.

This is the first game I release with Defold and a lot of time have past since I joined a game jam. Anyways, I hope you would have fun.
