The developers need to get their act together and fix the Apple TV controls for this game. Completely unplayable.

Now that my iPhone 5 is supported again, I can fully recommend it again. Thanks folks for the work!

I can update the game again. Yea! Old review follows. This game is so simple it makes no sense to cut out the older hardware. Now I have an update that I can't get rid of and can't do which drives my OCD nuts. Thanks for nothing.

Whenever I update all my apps, this game sits in my update list and taunts me with a not compatible with this device error. It wont update or go away. It seems like to fix this I have to either uninstall the game (and presumably be unable to reinstall later, losing it forever) or live with this popup haunting my update list for the foreseeable future. What a hassle. I really regret buying this now.

I've played this game with no problems since I got my iPad, and now your saying it's not compatible? What kind of scam is this?

There is no more support for iPhone 5 and lower. I can't even update this app even though I paid for it. It doesn't take a genius to realize that this game isn't graphically intensive and can absolutely run on older systems.

No reason to drop support for older devices when the game played perfectly before.

This game is no longer any good to me since it can't be updated on my phone. Very disappointing.

Not sure if this will help, but for those that are upset about it no the update longer working on older devices, in fact, it won't even let us download it, I sent the dev an email and he quickly replied that he made a mistake and will fix it after the holidays... I assume it should be working again shortly after New Years...

So I for one will be changing my review as soon as that happens

I'd like to start out by saying I PAID for this game, and that I also made in-app purchases. Not only that, but I was also able to enjoy the game on my jailbroken (and slow) iPod 4. Now The game requires an iPhone 5+? There isn't even an option to download an older version. I feel ripped off. Now, if you happen to have one of the compatible devices, then I'd like to say the game is great and enjoyable, including iCade support. I am giving this two stars because of what I stated above.

No more support for 32 bits systems. Bye 4S. Bye to this game

Paid for it a while ago and now the update isn't compatible with my iPad... not nice!

Not offering support for the iPhone 5 is absurd and lazy/greedy.

There is nothing about this game that can’t be handled with ease by the device.

Players see this for what it is, and it’s hard for a developer to shake a greedy reputation.

I have iphone 5 and now cant update since its not supported anymore. Most the people who have this game got it when the only phones it now works on didnt exist.

I used to enjoy playing this game. But latest update removed support for iPhone 5. How can such a simple game now require latest gen hardware? Devs need to go back to programming school.

So this FIVE year old game with graphics that didn't look great 5 years ago now requires a brand new device to play? That is what sequels are for. The company should be embarrassed and Apple should pull the game.

This app is amazing, following Super Mega Worm Vs. Santa 2. It's insane new worm only costs $0.99 extra. This worm comes with a LAZER and MISSILES!!!!😱 Literally so addicting, and so fun. It crashes a lot, though. That's the only real problem about it! Totally worth the money, and you'll have so much fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Restore iphone 5 support

Update says it is no longer compatible with my phone. Not cool.

I love this game but there are some things I think you should add

1) In the demo the game lets you use a ion Icade mobile but in this it doesn't let you

2) You should customize the worm so you would kill people with your styled worm

3) a storyline and and areas. This is what could be more added to the game but for the different areas you could choose different worlds or levels

As a gamer I only play games on steam and such, as a prefer to spend money on games and have as little microtransactions as possible. How ever this game (I forgot how much it is) is high quality. It may not be my favorite game, that honor belongs to demon's souls (yes they made a game before dark souls.) the gameplay is superb, the graphics are nice, lore, not so much.

But still, if you're like me who actually buys games, and not spends $2,000 in a game of farmville and stops playing the game and moves on in life, you should like this game.

This game is one of my all time favorites, and I'm not just saying that, it really is good. Hell, it even is one of the "essentials" on the entire store. Me myself though would enjoy an update, because updates are good, and we as people like good things. I have some suggestions for you to think about: 1) Worm customization because it's just kinda bland. Maybe the option for a custom palette swap, funny hats, or glasses and ties! 2) difficulty settings because I like a challenge, and some people think the game is hard enough. Normal mode would be the current, easy would be slightly less difficult, and hard would be more challenging. 3) a storyline. Because the only story type stuff is at the very beginning and the very end of the game. After five or so levels, the background should switch and you could be in a different place, like a city for example. Or in a desert. And maybe have cutscenes to showing, the story! 4) Music! Now don't get me wrong, I love that one song. But that's just it, there's only ONE SONG! It's called variation, or, having more than one song playing. It could be random and change every level. I dunno it's just that the same freaking song. If these things were added, even just some of them, I'd give this game a 6-🌟 rating. (If I could lol)

This is a great game, I have had it for a long time. I have a few suggestions to make it even better. Instead of a plain field can you add mountains and lakes and stuff? Also maybe it can be a field and if you travel far enough you make it into a city and can destroy buildings! Also maybe boss battles like the humans make a giant robot or maybe a Godzilla or King Kong kind of boss. Do that and it will be even better.

I think you should add mountains do the ground isn't just flat and also I think instead of buying the robot worm you should unlock it by beating the normal worm because This game is 1:99 overall great game

The game was hilarious. The only thing: in the end credits you misspelled infestation

Used to be one of my favorite apps. Now with the New update it ruined everything. Change it back immediatly and i Will Change my rating back to 5 stars

I purchased him a long time ago and now I'm expected to pay for him again? Not cool at all!

This game was so much better before the update

Please please pleaseeeee bring back

-slider control

-original theme song

-Santa mode

It's a bummer that this game used to be so great but was ruined by a bad update.

This game is awesome but is bloody so if your not used to blood don't get it . More levs plz 25 more .

The update killed some of it best features, mainly the song for me. I'm glad it has mfi support though, but pls fix the song at least.

Before the update the layout was awesome, the controls were so much better, and there was Santa mode. Now you guys removed things instead of adding it and I bought the mecha worm and now I have to buy it again to used it.

PLEASE CHANGE THIS.

I had bought the mecha worm but after the update I have to PAY for it again come fix now

Still my favorite game on the store!

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT I JUST HATE THE NEW UPDATE before the game was great with the mecha worm and everything but now it's like playing against a wall it's so boring and the enimes are over powered I don't care if I spelled the word wrong but I hate the game now I'm deleting it >:(

New graphics looks good.

Bring back the slider control and un-nerf.

I used to really enjoy this game but the new update has made it much less enjoyable and actually removed content instead of adding it. While the vs Santa can be downloaded separately, it is no longer supported or updated. The mecha cannot be used, iphone 5 full screen is not supported, and it doesn't run as smooth and the game mechanics feel clunky and outdated.

Please reunite the game and continue to add content instead of removing it

I dont like the changes pls put it back the way it was. I cant bring my self to even play it any more 😕

You would think that an update is a good thing but instead the game actually got WORSE please bring the old game back it was good before this catastrophe.

I really love this game!!!!!!

I bought the mochja worm and the update makes me buy it again

Bad update.

The bring the old theme music back that was so much better. Awesome gameplay though.

Ok, the game crashed once so far. I just hope it doesn't do it again. It's a good game.

The dpad does not work correctly anymore!

Give me back my mega worm updates deleted it can't get it back:( !!!!!

Is there gonna be a new update that adds it back?

Had it for a few years, and it's one of my favorite apps. It's time consuming, fun, and addictive.

This game is the best game ever!!

I bought that worm, updated my phone and now there is no way to get my previous purchase back. I have to do the in game purchase again. That feeling of getting screwed...

Reminds me of terraria

Tip on How to fly: This is trick with EMP

Go low and sprint toward ground vertical and go high as you can. Use EMP when there is a bird or flying enemy near you with in range, then it should go slo mo, press directing you want to fly really short so the head turn, turn the head down until the head is 45 degree from bottom, as soon as you reach that spot, press UP without pressing any buttons, you need to practice little bit to do this, then you will start losing slowmotion and then by the time slo mo ends, you will be heading horizontally.

Then you will start flying at insane speed and there ya go. You can go space with this trick I've done it

Seriously. I love weird. This game is loads of weird and fun. I played it until my hands got tingly from being in that position, and then some more. I played it until I flew into space for the second time, the counter ran down, and my mechaworm blew up all the satellites, and the game crashed. And all I could do was laugh, and play again. Love, love, love this game.

You should be able to turn the violence off like in paladog also an awesome game mode is you get to be one of the people and you can run and jump and maybe shoot the worm to slow it down and see how long you can survive and maybe a continued story mode wger your in space and you move freely and people are floating around and you have to dodge asteroids and stuff all that stuff would make it awesome. You should also be able to turn animals off

Hey u guys finally fixed it! Luv da update and new worm-monster-thing. Its cool but i discovered a tiny glitch - when i spacejumped, i was holding up on the controls and he just kept going higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher until i was in black space for about fifteen minutes i got bored and motioned the controls downward and did that comet drop thing. I then smacked the ground and ran into the barrier that stops u from going any farther underground and lost half my health (btw u usually lose health when u hit it, but barely). I havent been able to do it again, but it was cool.

Thank you guys so much for respoding to the crashing bug so quickly, it was greatly appreciated. I was so excited to try out the new mecha-worm and was really upset to find the game still crashed on start up. I tried again with success, but when I went to buy the Mecha Wojira the app asked for my password, asked if I was sure, then crashed. I received a receipt from iTunes saying that I bought it, but when I re-started the app, it asked me to buy it again. Now, knowing that when you try to buy an app/ in-app-purchase twice your account is never charged a second time, I kept trying to get the mecha-guy. It just finally made it now, and I can say the new character is amazing and very refreshing.

That said, the app still crashes at the start around 50% of the time for me, although when it does make it to the title screen it seems to run perfectly fine.

I guess your bug fix sort of needs a bug fix. :)

Update: The developer was patience with me and respond promptly, I am pleased. Also he was very helpful with my issue with the game :)

----------------

I paid 99 cents for mecha wojira and it was awesome to play it. But when I exited the game and returned it, it wasn't there and looks like I have to purchase it again? I quit the game and start it, same result. What the heck? Is that normal? If so, it does not makes sense to keep buying Mecha Wojira every time I start the game. I hope it is a bug...

1. Fill up your EMF gauge. (you need at least 3)

2. Jump vertically up at Santa. When you're at the height of the jump, tap the emf button. Right as you leave your EMF "bubble", tap it again. Repeat three times until you can "eat" Santa. (spitting at him won't do anything)

3. Repeat that four times and he'll fall to the ground. Now fill up your EMF gauge twice (to make them red on your body) and when you're near Santa, hit the EMF button and you'll go into "worm time". You'll be invincible so get near him and eat him as many times as you can.

4. He'll then turn into Mecha-Santa and you'll have to eat him again in worm time and you'll put an end to his littering ways.

Don't get me wrong, Super Mega Worm is indeed an addictive little platformer with much enjoyment to be had (Human slaughtering :)), unlockable abilities) However, there are to many bugs to mention (eg. Slowed framerate after a few minutes of play) Crashing truly seems to be a major problem, and I'm quite bored of the same level. At the moment I would go out on a limb to say, there are plenty of other $0.99 games on the appstore with much more content, making Super Mega Worm almost obsolete. Update with some bug fixes for 3 stars and more content for 5.

A true gem, but still seems like beta. Will definitely be amazing upon completion.......

I really enjoy this game. However, it crashes constantly (an easy one to replicate is to get into space during a bonus, and let the time run out). It also crashes at other, apparently random moments. (New iPhone 4, up-to-date OS, not modified.)

Also, sometimes after a crash, it starts off at the same level (but with no score), sometimes at the first level (with a short worm, but all the evolved abilities - but you can't renew the EMP because there's no gems).

Apparently "cops" aren't being counted correctly in the GC Achievements? Some achievements have a nice progress bar, but that one stays empty, even though I've gnabbed plenty.

Beyond these issues (which sadly, really effect the enjoyability of the game when it crashes), it's a lot of fun to play. Here's looking to some bugfixes and more levels in the future.

Love the misanthropic premise: surge from underground and eat mankind alive! The chunky pixel graphics and wild particle effects are lovely. Building momentum for a huge breach from the earth is a thrill.

My only complaint is with the weird controls, which don't feel intuitive. Of the 3 given control methods, the d-pad works best for me, but it's still not totally right. I think this game would greatly benefit from a "wheel" control option, such as the one used in Doom Classic for the iPhone. I expect that steering the worm with such a control would work quite well.

Super Mega Worm is definitely one of the best iOS games I've come across. The gameplay is unique, entertaining, and just plain fun. The retro look makes it even better. Although the controls may seem a bit odd at first you'll quickly adjust.

I was playing this a few days ago on my bed, lying down on my stomach, and my neck became stiff. I couldn't put the game down. You may be laughing now, but just wait until you get your hands on this game.

Overall, this game is fantastic. I'm don't believe the app has Retina display-optimized graphics, but it doesn't make much of a difference because of the retro pixelated (yet gorgeous) look.

$2.99? This is a steal. Buy this app.

EDIT:

Okay, I guess "Time Attack" is nice, but… achievements? You guys have said they're "coming soon" many times before, and they're still not here. What gives?

You guys should make the icon of the app back to the way it was instead of that boing gray one you have now. I actually haven't updated the app yet because of the boring new icon. I guss that's kind of a stupid reason but I probably won't updat it until the old icon is back. I may not get all the cool new features in the future but at least I'll still have the old icon. And agian, I know this is a really stupid reason to not update but I really like that old icon. So please bring the old one back.

This is definitly one of the best apps ive ever played. Great 8-bit action and great concept. Its really fun and all but the thing is, you only get three powers. Normal spit, fire spit, and the EMP power. I think there should be atleast ten different powers. A giant worm is more capable of more then three. Aside from that, there's only

25 levels. I played and beat the game four times thinking there would be

more to the game, but there is still only twenty five. I'm gunna rate this four out of five. It would be five stars if there were more powers and more levels.

This was by far the best game I have played on any idevice!!! Stunning old-school graphics, great controls, excellent gameplay! The only thing that would make it better would be more levels, and a "free play" or "survival mode" option, where you would see how long you can last without dying, and instead of counting down how many humans left to kill before a level up, it would keep track of how many humans you have killed, with no level ups. Keep up the good work! I hope to see an update soon!

This app was great fun for a while but once you finally beat all the levels there is no replay value. I still playit a bit but there come a point when you're playing it just to feel like you got your money's worth. If they would update this app and add more features like a high score system or maybe another mode then I would five this 5 stars. At the time I bought it it was 99 cents so if you can nab it at that price I very highly recommend it but until they add more features don't expect to play this for too long before getting bored. The art is great and the music and sound effects are great but once you beat it that's it...

Even though the graphics go a long way to make this game childish and silly, the developers put in content to make the symbolic people real, and made me feel uncomfortable.

For example, when killing men they say "Please, I have a family." Killing women with a stroller, they say "Ahh my baby!" Or sometimes the little kid says you killed his mom.

So the game basically shows you killing humans by exploiting some of the most special parts of being a human. It's enough to make me rate it 2 stars- "Don't like it"

Please please please keep the slider controls...if you add new schemes, fine...but keep the slider!

I could play this game nonstop now that they added continue!

EDIT: something tells me that they had to change the icon because of the movie Tremors...at least come up with something better that this one...it's horrible. Maybe use the one that is displaying on the mobile app store?

I find tilt and slider annoying & hard to control, but dpad works pretty well!

Game is fun but pretty repetitive. Angry Birds is much more challenging and even Fruit Ninja doesn't take as long to get interesting.

Also while retro graphics work well for some games, they just look bad in this one; I'd rather have sharper looking prey.

Finally, while I get the humor, I do find the environmentalist screed a bit annoying; why can't we just play a worm that eats people & their machines without all the "browning of the earth", "humans are parasites" nonsense.

I'd recommend Helsing's Fire, Angry Birds, Doodle Jumper, Sheep Launcher, & Fruit Ninja over this but it's also not the worst iPhone game i've played and is probably worth $0.99 if you've already played out these others.

This game is the epitome of what apps should be. I am a die hard SNES fan, and this retro 8-bit NES styling is awesome. The game is a simple concept but executed so, so well. Graphics, music, and controls? At first they seem difficult, but there is a subtle learning curve that makes it much more rewarding when you master them. Please add more content. This sounds stupid, but I'd buy it again to support the devs. It's rare you find an app this good.

And I've never written a review before.

I haven't had this much fun playing a game on the iPhone since I first got Minigore a while back. Great retro graphics, smooth controls and all around FUN!

The only suggestions I have would be to have survival mode and maybe more evolutions/weapons. Perhaps a superpopulated mode with tons of people would be a fun bonus round. Also, I kinda hate the red jewels.

Best dollar I have ever spent in this app store. I mean angry birds is getting a movie deal. NO. This has a better story line and game play to get a movie deal. Both angry birds and doodle jump either get boring cuz it's the game jump game, or I get frustrated at angry birds. Read my lips, this is going to the top.

P.s. Control was confusing at first but after 10 seconds I got it down.

P.s.s. In the next update for a new ability you should add this;(all your little body parts drop a bomb, explosive not emp, at the same time. That would be epic. Just take that idea I don't need credit for it.

I still don't see why the Wojira starts of with the same abilities it has to earn. Shouldn't this reset everytime u start a new game? The update didn't bring much more than just a useless d-pad (sliders WAY better), bad grammar in the characters bubble captions, and the ability of being able to continue where u left off. Big deal! I still have to wait for another FUTURE update (who knows how long thats gonna take) to get some new levels, characters and hopefully get rid off some of these bugs that are still lingering. 2 stars until these issues are addressed.

This game is great, I played it until I beat it, only took like an hour though... To anyone who gave 1-2 stars saying it's violent: no duh. Did you even read the description or looked at screenshots before you bought it?!

This game has promise though. I give it for stars for several reasons: Kinda short, it's tricky to restart once u beat, redundant (add more enemies), more frequent bonus levels (i found that it took me several tries before I got the whole bouncing on top of vehicles down.

Looking forward to updates!

This is by far my favorite app, and most played, simple, easy, fun gameplay, that does take some time to get used to, but overall, its amazing. The graphics are very classic and retro looking which i think all apps should have because it makes it so much more fun. The pixelated gore is very well done and the story/idea is also very interesting. But there are some problems, the game does not really ever get "old" per ce, but it gets kind of dumb because there are only 24 short levels, and once you gain all the powers and replay it, everything is sooo easy. So my requests are more powers, a longer game or more levels, and maybe even a free play, survival, bonus or other mode that you can play to get the best time score or whatever. but it appears to me this is an app company that listens to what you say, so hopefully they hear me out, all in all, a well worth purchase! :D

Ok, so it's not really Tremors, but it plays about how you think that'd go. The controls take a little bit to get used to, but once you do it's a lot of fun. It can get a little repetitive, but hang in there for the updates. The developer is actually doing a great job With the updates. This is a great game and I wish there were more like it. I'm from the NES generation and I'd love to see more developers attempt quality games in this style.

The game is just like how you might imagine it would be. It is very sweet. The retro graphics, sound effects, music, and gameplay are all top notch.

Controls are good and more new controls are on the way.

There is also a cool tremors mode which makes you blind to whats above ground while you are underground. The game has great difficulty progression and gets very challenging.

Getting a new high score is incredibly fun and once you have all of the upgrades, it is like playing a whole new game! The difference is astounding.

Apples GameCenter is included which enables online leaderboards and also achievements are coming in a future update.

Great but repetitive. As mentioned in other reviews the game does not save your level so you must start over every time (though you get to keep your evolutions). Controls are frustratingly innacurate. Dont bother trying to use tilt control, stick with the slider. up to level 8 is cake, then the challenge seems to start.

[update] - The lastest release has fixed some of the previous issues with the game. You can now continue on the level you left off (making it rather easy to evolve quickly) which keeps the fun going and going.

Updated review: Ok, by now everyone should know that the update has a few bugs that make this game unplayable for some to those of you who bought the game knowing this, stop whining and wait for the fix. this is no reason to give this awesome game a bad rating. For the rest of you out there who had the game already here is a tip: If you sync your ipods regularly do what I do and update your games via wifi directly on to your device, that way if you get a bad update you can delete the App then just go and sync your device to your computer again and reinstall the old playable version of the game. I hope this helps as i am never unable to play my favorite games due to bad or unwanted updates. At first glance as you are browsing the games you might pass this one over a few times like I did but if you're into retro games go ahead and take the plunge and buy thus game it is so addictive and fun. Yes the controls take a bit of a learning curve to get used to, I prefer the slider over tilt control but practice makes perfect and it won't take too long to get the hang of it. For a real challenge there is even a tremors option which makes the game more difficult because you can't see anything above ground until you break through. All in all a super fun game, I paid the 2.99 for it and am having a blast. Pick this one up while it's on sale, you'll be glad you did.

It's a shame that this game is being blasted -- though not without reason, due to the bugs -- since it really has the potential to be another iPhone classic. It has great gameplay, originality, and is just plain fun to play.

I really hope that the new update brings better reviews and therefore more sales to this great game. I'd hate to see the game being forgotten due to a rough start, it really is very good.

This game is absolutely a ton of fun. But the rounds can go on forever. There is no support for application switching or a function to save during a game. So you can lose a lot of progress if you don't feel like playing for an hour straight and want to check your email or respond to a text message. Fast app switching support should at least be added if no save function is added.

Also, I wish the scenery changed as they levels progressed. Some of the characters and animals change, but not very much. It would be cool if Super Mega Worm was like Rampage: World tour, where the worm travels to major cities to blende them of humans. And if there were terrain elements like buildings. Maybe if there's a sequel.

Probably the most fun I've had since I bought my Ipad. It's the first game I liked enough to review and I've bought a LOT of them. It is easy to finish in a couple of hours, but the price is right and the joy of eating hundreds of humans in a variety of ways, taking down planes, copters and tanks with gusto and gore had me smiling for hours. There is a known bug that, after completing the game, you cannot start a new one. The developers were quick to respond to me when I contacted them and there is a fix on the way. I deleted the game and reinstalled it so I could play it through again.

For everyone having crashes, update your iOS to version 4.1 - I haven't had a single crash since.

I can't say enough great things! It's one of those rare games that actually continues to get played after the first day of purchase. When I show the game to friends, I have a hard time getting the phone back. And added support now for Game Center leaderboard etc. is awesome. Hint - you can really rack up points once you get the worm high up into space - super combos!

(Game works great on my iPhone 4 with iOS 4.1)

This is what Katamari Damacy would have been, if instead of sticking people and animals to your rolling garbage ball you just murdered them or ate them. It's fantastic! Controls are easy to get used to, the retro aesthetic and music are wonderful, and the game has a great sense of the buildup of power - you start slow and weak, but soon you become an unstoppable alien worm raining hot death down onto the world. It's a little slow to start, but it's well worth a buck. Game Center integration is very cool too!

This is the most incredible game I've played on the iPhone to date.

I'd love to see more enemies and more stuff to eat!

However, after I beat the game, I cannot start a new one. It simply takes me to the last level and shows me the ending again. I'm guessing this is from the update that allows you to continue where you left off if you exit? Please fix fast!

This game has proven to be the most fun I have had since first playing Angry Birds. I can truly think of nothing that is lacking in this game. For future updates, (and for all I know, these may already be in the game) I would love to see some underground food and threats in later levels, some additional weapons and special moves, a really fast animal that grants super speed for a period of time when eaten, more interactive environments above ground (like buildings to smash), boss battles, and progressive environments like a sea level, a sloping mountain level, and a sky level.

Note: This game now crashes after the latest update, which is of course on my brand new phone. I guess nobody tests things anymore! Don't ever let game developers build you a car.

Note Note: I did finally find a flaw to this game. For some reason, in the middle of some games, you will completely run out things to eat. I usually wind up speeding back and forth underground looking for food, as I slowly die. I've tried eating birds, but even they run out. Not sure what I'm supposed to do to survive this flaw.

Great game and smooth graphics and the retro look is cool....end up leaving the sound off just because the sound effects get kind of annoying but still really love this game!

Hopefully the v1.2 crash bug gets fixed soon...PLEASE keep the slider I don't think I'd like using the D-pad for this...would be great if we could select which controller in the settings since we all have our preferences...GREAT GAME

This has quickly become one of my favorite games for my iPhone. The gameplay is simple, straightforward, but really fun. It has a very good soundtrack, great retro style artwork, and is easy enough to pick up and play when you have a few moments but might be harder to put down once you have to get back whatever you were doing before.

Leaderboards were a nice addition but what I'd like to see even more is some sort of co-op or challenger mode in which one can compete with friends to see who can eat/destroy the most.

This game is well worth it at the current .99 cent sale price..get it now before the price goes back up.

I don't care for this game for a number of reasons. 1) It loads upside down every single time no matter what. That's lame on the most basic level. 2) There is one speed only and it is faster than is enjoyable for me. Guess they should warn the 50+ crowd that you need extra fast relexes or they could have speed levels. 3) the slide controler is twitchy and hard to use. 4) the tilt controller is even worse. It didn't work at all at first, which is in my opinion somehow related to it loading upside down. Now the tilt controller works...but even twitchier than the manual controller. 5) it just isn't that much fun to compensate for all the hassles.

Beautiful pixel art, awesome character design, smooth tilt control, challenging nuanced gameplay, and pulsing chiptune music come together to make one of my favorite titles this year.

The game metes out skills, that when unlocked are available from the start in subsequent playthroughs. This system is genius, giving significant legs to the score-run formula. The variety of victims and their behaviors reinforce the playability.

The frame-rate tends to chug when combos over six are happening (3Gs running 4.02). Please add a sensitivity slider for the tilt control.

Super Mega Worm is a must have for action gamers, destruction lovers, and Tremors/Dune/Panzer Dragoon giant worm fans. There are few things more satisfying than blowing a car up into the air, shooting the airborne vehicle, and diving straight through it's ejected driver, turning him into a shower of pixel gore. Creativity is well-rewarded.

A lot of the reviewers here dislike the controls, but After playing for a few minutes, the slider control becomes like second nature! The tilt controls seemed much less accurate. If anything, thus game is too easy- it let's you keep all your power-ups so once you've played through it once, the next time is far less challenging. Still a lot of fun, as I've beaten it a few times now and keep going back for more! :D. I hope the developer continues to add levels and/or new enemies! Some kind of boss battle at the end would be sweet!

MY BABY!!

OK, this is the king of iphone games where screen shots do not do it justice. The moment you start your end to mankind, you will not be able to put it down. Love the control idea, sounds and superb retro graphics. You know you're about to play something special the moment you start the game up. Congrats to the developer's for putting their heart into this ... it shows. YAY for GameCenter support (see I told you these guys are awesome!).

The look and style is neat, and gameplay is simple to pick up. My one nit-pick is that in the later levels the last remaining humans are too far out of range to even be noticed via the arrow indicator.

And I could complain about the lack of a save feature, but starting a new game with the abilities you gained makes up for it.

Overall, Super Mega Worm is fun time-killer. And I hope to see more from Deceased Pixel in the future.

This is a really fun game. It's mindless and entertaining. Control your worm with touch or tilt controls and tap to speed up/spit. Runs fine for me. Nice smooth retro animations.

Only suggestions -

1. Touch controller could be larger and more accurate. Sometimes seems like it isn't responding or my thumb has come off the area to control the worm.

2. Inconsistant populations, in one round I had lots of cars to bounce off and lots of people to eat by level 6 and then in another I was barely finding anything but cows at level 10.

3. Needs more variety of humans, locations, etc. Maybe even some power ups to collect.

Also, if we are supposed to be wiping out humans why are we eating cows, ducks, birds?

Update - I still think my original minor issues hold. But I've been playing more and see that the levels remain the same each time you play and some are hard to get the guys in the air. I guess I got better because I started smashing my high scores. Really fun game, kind of bummed I got it a day before the sale but it's OK to support the dev.

This game is really entertaining. I especially like to eat the lady pushing the stroller. "My baby!" This is definitely worth a buy, if you have a buck to kill. Though the one thing I dislike about this game is the slider to move your wurm around. It's a small complaint but doesn't really hinder gameplay, but maybe the developer can do an up date to add in a joystick or something.

A fairly interesting throwback to the days of simple, brainless arcade games. Openfeint support, particularly acheivements, would help, but as it is, the game itself is unsatisfying. Once the novelty of eating babies and smashing through trucks wears off, one is left with the distinct impression that something is missing.

Additionally, the slide control is woefully implimented for the iPad...a game that requires pretty solid precision to take out flying enemies really would benefit for a control style that takes advantage of the extra screen real estate. Tilt is a little better, but, again, when you're trying to hit the balloon or parachute enemies to get the last few guys to move on to the next stage, control shouldn't determine if your game is over or not. Not a terrible disappointment for a dollar, but full price should be avoided.

It plays like a retro Nintendo game, the controls are smooth and the gameplay is very addictive. This is worth every penny! I can't wait for the updates. I really want to see lives so if you die in a higher lever you could have the chance of continuing a little longer without having to start in the beginning. However it sort of adds to the retro feel of the game. A quick 5 minute mode like another reviewer said would be great!
