Protect the Sand-Worm

Loosely inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune, this game sees you defending a poor sleeping sand-worm from an onslaught from above.

All you have to hand are a seemingly infinite number of rocks, and the strength to throw the heck out of them!

Controls:

• W - Jump
• A/D - Move left/right
• Left/Right arrows - Aim
• Up/Down arrows - Rotate aim
• Shift - Charge throw
• Space - Throw
• F1 - Toggle Fullscreen
• Esc - Pause

Changes:

v1.1 - As it was at the Jam deadline

v1.2: This is the last version of the game that counts for the Jam. Any more changes than simple fixes or optimisations are, in my opinion, too big to be in the spirit of things. These include different control schemes (mouse aim, gamepad), saving highscores to the computer rather than just for the session, and an options menu. The changes I have made are listed below:

• Fixed one crash bug
• Fixed the issue of the player occasionally getting stuck on scenery
• Made the tutorial screen and game over screen a little prettier
