big worm fast

Hello. This is a nice game. I like to play a bit in the morning, think about a puzzle for a bit, make a move, and then check in again in the evening or next day. I like getting calls from the people in town and hearing what they think about life. While this game does have a lot of real-time elements, I find it much easier to fit into my life than animal crossing--I think most people will find it easy to fit into their schedule, whatever it may be.

The puzzles are also excellent, but what stands out the most for me is what some folks have mentioned already: I think about this game a lot when I'm not playing it! The collaboration between the puzzles, stealth, writing, and time-elements makes me think about the game and my life in a way I can only describe as "pondering".

And it's fun! It is fun and fulfilling to play, puzzle, and ponder.

It's fun! The second trailer (the ramp in 90 seconds) explains the game very well; watch that for a solid explanation.

The one think it can't get across is how weighty and technical the game feels. The pump mechanic (press a to crouch and then stand up at specific angles of the bowl/half pipe to gain speed) is fun by itself, but put in combination with spins and grab tricks both are elevated to this tricky little toy that leaves me always wanting to go a little faster, to get a little more air so i can get an extra 180 degrees on my next jump... But if I go too fast or start my turn too early i might run into a ladder or fall off the pipe.

Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely chill game. But the mechanics and polish (i can only assume a LOT of time was spent just tweaking how it feels to move) make each jump on the ramp feel like a chip. Crisp, delightful, and ooh maybe I'll go for another one.
