Death Worm

Pater Alf · Post by **Pater Alf** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 23:24

What was the most entertaining part about movies like "Tremors" or "Dune"? Of course it were these big worms that lived beneath the ground and tried to kill everything they can get...

Now you have the chance to play one of this worms by yourself. Look for food and eat as much meat as you can.

The game is easy, but pretty bloody and entertaining! I really liked that!

LOL

I have to download this to try it out. I always loved Tremors, and it scared the sh*t out of me when it came out. I love Michael Greens role and how he plays it. (Michael Green is the gunmaniac in Tremors and the gun-hater in Family Ties.)

Could you put it up on the FTP? I really dont like to register one more place and risk spam...

You don't have to register to download the file (using the first or the third download link). But I can upload it to the FTP server anyway (done - you can find it in my folder)...

Tremors is awesome. I finally got around to getting it on DVD...

Well I just proved our description wrong. I played for hours now... We said you wouldn't.

SPOILER ALERT
There are some cheats available for the game. Mark the text below to see them.

Cheats: (Press Insert first.)
*Invincibility: "dhole"
*Low Gravity: "space"
*Change Size with -/+: "grow"
More Retroish Skin: "namcap"

Cheats marked with * will empty your score when the worm finally dies.

I also think this is a PERFECT waste of time. way better than miniature golf or othello...
You gotta try this just to see what the fuzz is about.

You can also read our interview with the man behind the game here: http://curlysworldoffreeware.com/interv ... thWorm.txt
The game was our featured game of October 2007.

Amazingly playable game which has a rare ability of glueing player to the screen (sucking him?). One of the few games I played this year that didnt let me stop playing. Brilliant effort.

Bump! Post your highscores contest!

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 18:54

Your lowest score is higher than my highest, and by that time I was starting to get bored... 'nuff said!

When I look at eMTe's score, I'm to ashamed to post my own highscores...

But here's something else you should know about. There's a 2-Player mode for "Death Worm" now. You can find it here:

That might be cool to try out (since we never get to play Fleafall). I am a bit ashamed of my scores too eMTe, but maybe one day I will post them...

I added the 2 player mode of "Death Worm" to the database. Yo can find it on our game info page:

I hate to post in a topic that has not been touched in over two years, but I felt like I had to.

Myself, along with Patsy7z7, created the Death Worm 2P mod. Due to computer troubles, every copy of the mod that we had has been lost. The only remaining downloads, as far as we knew, were scattered around the internet, and were not even the most updated version of the game!

Two years later, today I stumbled upon this forum. I downloaded the mod, and it was the most updated version! People can play what we made!

As such, I have updated the links on the Demo-Video on Youtube, found at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDOqF-ig ... onse_watch

Unfortunately, I cannot post in the Metanet forum as it has become a bit of legacy. I'll contact their webmaster and see if I can get an update in there. As far as I know, the biggest number of people find the Metanet site when looking for DW2P.

I cannot express enough how pleased I am to find the mod posted here. It would have been nice to be notified of it's posting, so that I could properly link folks to this forum, but I'll be doing what I can to remedy that now.

Once again, thanks for this. I apologize for posting here, and you may feel free to delete/move/whatever this post, but I felt it was important to post here to try to drive up this site on Google. It is quite a ways down, and I want it known that DW2P is hosted here!
Thanks,
Grassman7z7

BONUS EDIT
Just before I forget...
If you bring up the Cheats panel, and type in 'streetsimpson' (Excluding the quotes, of course) you get a nice result. Try it in two player!

While it is very unfortunate that you were not contacted prior to putting the 2P mod up here, at least it still turned out to be a sunshine story. All hail the Death Worm.

Post by **Chroelle** » Sun Jan 24, 2010 15:03

No need to apologize about posting - that is what the thread is for

.
On the other hand I am glad to hear that our policy of offering downloads from our own servers once again proved to be a great idea. If you can find some way of telling people efficiently that the game (with 2pmod) is to be found here, we will of course be glad to get the traffic.

Thank you so much for the good reception! I can't tell you how happy I am to find DW2P here.

http://forum.ninjarobotyeti.com/viewtop ... =42&t=4822
I've posted a message with the Metanet forums. I'm sure you folks can expect a little more traffic coming up. I'll try my best to make sure everyone knows that CWF has posted this game on their site.

Additionally, I'd like to let you guys know that Patsy and I have started on a re-make. We'll be sure to keep you updated, and would be very appreciative to have the game (If it is ever completed) hosted on CWF.
Thanks very much! If you have any questions, just let me know.

To be frank, Ive ended my affair with Death Worm on single player version. Does it allow internet play or hotseat only?

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 23:15

I felt sudden urge to post here. Playing today, after many many years, Wings of Fury, Ive noticed strange similarities between it and Death Worm. In both games you move back and forth the scrolled screen killing tiny creatures in the process. I believe the similarity is unintentional (Ive noticed this only today), but it tells much about one of playability memes.
