In Woodworm you have to replicate an figure with this little woodworm. It is quite challenging later on, but it's fun to engage in it for some time. I had some issues understanding what to do at the beginning, but I guess it's just me.
I don't plan to. I had already them implemented here but every time I tried to use them for a puzzle, I found that the puzzle was more fun and interesting without them :
It's made in Pico8 that exports games ("cartridges") in a special png format. So if you want to open the game in Pico8 you can download it instead of playing the web version here.
Somebody that knows how Pico-8 works, and realizes that the game's code is embedded in the png, which pic-8 expects you to load into it? Most people would probably just play it in their browser though...
What an interesting puzzle game! I really enjoyed playing it because of the attention to detail in the graphics and presentation. The puzzle stages get progressively more difficult, so it's good to learn techniques naturally. Having said that, I have only cleared up to stage 14! It was easy to operate the game from the browser of my smartphone, so I will play it there and aim to clear all the stages, meow~!
After two nights thinking about the final level, i finally beat this! I love how many levels are built around the player teaching themselves something new, with zero words for any of the techniques.
I was stuck for a long time on 'dino' until i went back to fully understand 'bookcase' , solving it 3 different ways. I was understanding the nature of carving more and more. Dino had a long chain of figuring out where to start, where to end, and solving many mini-challenges along the way.. I felt like i had tried every possible approach and always coming up just a little short, before finding the right one, and probably there would be other people who could just stumble across the right one much earlier. But it felt rewarding to bring the techniques learnt before together in one level. And just the final level being a dino skull itself while being so challenging, love it...
All in all my favourite game i've finished this year. Not even to mention how difficult it looks to have fit it all into pico-8. Thank you for the worms. This joins 'hot knife through butter' and 'sorcerers detritus' as my favourite small puzzle games
Saw a post showing off this game on tumblr and had to come immediately to try it: What a delight! Really clever game that makes you feel even more clever having solved it, great work!

This is something serious. There is a mobile game called artisan worm that is copy and pasting your idea. I just wanted to tell you.
have you thought about making a level creator?

meself
the 3 level is too hard,i cant finish anyone :(
so cool
Cool game!
Really fun game! Hopefully looking foward to a full game!
I love the game. The puzzles are so criative! ALL PUZZLES HERE.
thx helped a lot
Hey some people stole you're game
its some mobile rip off
yeah I agree I got the game and it was low quality
easy, worm gets hungry i see
very interesting! it’s neither too easy or too hard, and many levels have more than one solution.
I’ve seen that there’s a kind of blocks that can’t be eaten in your previous work, are you planning to add them in following updates?
I don't plan to. I had already them implemented here but every time I tried to use them for a puzzle, I found that the puzzle was more fun and interesting without them :
it’s important to abandon things that seem good but actually not.
very good game
This game is great! amazing puzzle design and genius mechanic to be able to perfectly utilize the limitations of Pico-8 without losing gameplay.
Fun!
This game is absolutely brilliant.
how do I eat the inside?
Here's a hint... the final cutout doesn't have to be one continuous piece of wood. It just has to have the same shape as the given model. ;)
That really helped me ty Mr Bacon :D!

I've seen you on youtube,this is so cool!
this is a game to show to your kids
this is to say the concept and presentation is ungenerational and absolutely fantastic work
i swear to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddd
why are pico-8 games always bangers every single time, im going insane
They just have more soul in them.
Hello, Are you considering bringing a fully fledged version with more content on Steam/consoles? That would be awesome!
Is there a level creator? If there isnt, will there be one in the future? I am just now downloading it.
I plan on making a level creator soon!
👀
do woodworms taste like wood.
no, but they have a crunch if theyve been dried.
Also they dont taste of very much.
This is really good! Lots of 'aha' moments throughout.
Ohh this is a good one! These puzzles are deceptively tricky. I love it!
who the heck whold dowload a freakin' png?!
Dude. This is a browser game. You can play it at the top of the page.
It's made in Pico8 that exports games ("cartridges") in a special png format. So if you want to open the game in Pico8 you can download it instead of playing the web version here.
