I took part in Ludum Dare 56 in October 2024
, and this was my first time participating in a Game Jam
.
I completed a playable microgame, lasting 15 seconds, entirely on my own, handling the programming, 2D art, and game design.
The theme for this jam was “Tiny Creature”, and I designed a game featuring a tiny worm eating an apple, which fits the theme perfectly.
The inspiration for the game came from a classic brain teaser: "What’s the most disgusting way to eat an apple with worms?" The answer is: “Half a worm.” With this in mind, I decided to create the game from the perspective of a sliced apple, where the worm is eating the apple while the person is also eating the apple, which poses a challenge to the player's operation.
