maybe it was muahahahaha...btw, interact as in catch? because if so then that's an issue >.<
When I run it, the window is stuck in the top left corner of the screen. I don't see the player's character anywhere on screen and when I press Space, the game appears to freeze. Hope you're able to fix it.
In the screenshot, it looks like there's a character with a net. I never see it, and the game freezes after about ten seconds. The controls don't seem to do anything...
I can't really do anything. It launches, shows the worms, counts down... but hitting space does nothing, and if I attempt to drag the window, it freaks out. Can't really play it. :-(
Pretty worms... but I can't seem to do anything with them. Sad times.
I'm having the same problem. :( The window is stuck in the upper-right corner of my screen, and pressing buttons does nothing, even with focus on the window.
Same as wolfadex here ...
Love the filesize of this entry though, good job :-)
same here, can't do anything, so i didn't rate it. :/ nice worms though !
Sadly, I was not able to play this entry. The window was stuck on the top left, and froze when I pressed the spacebar too many times.
ok guys I've finally fixed the issues :D!! ... the only thing is you have to extract the files from the zip folder so the jar would be able to access them, thanks for playing :D.
The game controls kinda strangely, I like the idea of it, and I love the trail effect on the worm things.
Same here. Window stuck in the top left and when I press space the game freezes and this exception is thrown:

And it's right, there is no net.au file anywhere in the jar or on my system. Should it be included in the jar?
Was a bit tricky to find my round red guy in amongst the blue red and green blobs. The movement of the worms was excellent, though a bit quick. (Was pretty random whether I caught one or not). Could have flipped between the left and right motion images when the net swung.
thanks for playing and thanks for the comments :D, much appreciated
Neat idea! The falling speed was a little annoying, but the game was fun anyway. Good job!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I can't interact with it, which makes me sad... UNLESS THAT IS YOUR SUPER MINIMALIST POINT IN WHICH CASE BRAVO
