About Wormpocalypse
The game is a hardcore pixel art platformer created in the style of old school games. Protagonist must overcome various difficult levels full of traps and enemies to find out how to survive. During the game, the protagonist will acquire new weapons and improvements. In a world struck by an unknown catastrophic event, the era of the post-apocalypse has come. As a result of this cataclysm, dangerous substances were released into the atmosphere, which turned ordinary worms into a mutated form of life. These worms began to suck on people's heads, allowing them to control their carriers. The main character of the story is a boy, who survived the disaster. He discovered that worms have intelligence and use people as their puppets to achieve their own goals.

Why it is worth playing
Plenty of adventure games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Wormpocalypse does not — it is playable from the first second. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
