eat wood, make art

Woodworm is a cute tiny little puzzle game you can play in a browser. Make your wiggly little worm eat the block of wood to match the shape given to you by the very large hands. (via waxy.org on mastodon)

I haven't managed to make the duck yet, but it's just so cute when the worm struggles to reach a spot that's too high for it.

This is the cutest thing. I always enjoy myself whenever I'm on itch.io, I'm convinced I could spend a year just happily clicking away on all the cool stuff there.

This is cute and fun, but harder than I thought it would be!

hint about the duck

you feel like you can't make that "single bite gone" area under the tail first, but there's a way to use a falling part to do it, so you don't have to return there.

I love what happens when you crawl off screen. Such a cute little game!

A nice little puzzle game! I'm enjoying working through these.

If you like the way the worm moves in this, it's very similar to the way the titular creatures move in the extremely difficult (but really good!) puzzle game Snakebird, and its much easier successor Snakebird Primer (Steam links).

Cute! This has Sokoban energy.

Adorable, clever, and MUCH harder than I thought it would be!
