Sometimes I'll have an idea early on in the week. I'll take my time, and build up a wonderful game, spending the full week making it nice and presentable.
Other times, it'll be a rush job, and I'll instead make the entire game over the space of a weekend.
.. or less!

2009 - Worm Blast

Today's "blast" from the past is a quicky game that was made as an example of doing rapid game dev.
How fast?
Judging by the clock on the bottom right of this timelapse development video, the whole thing took roughly two hours.

Rapid prototyping with insanely bad artwork!

You can Download WormBlast here for Windows.

Game wise, this isn't actually so bad.
You drag your mouse around the play area, and the "worm" (?) follows. Collect the little blue pills for points, and for extra points go near barrels to make them explode.
Don't get too close to an explosion, though!!
