  All My Games are now Available on Itch.io!

  Squirm, Loop-Loop DX AND Pocket Squirm are now available in a bundle called "The Squirm-Squirm DX Combo Meal" on Itch.io for a pay what you want price! Take a look here! I haven't made anything in 4 years. I have a story to tell, but it's kind of hard to do that when all the games I've made were sloppily written by a late-teen version of my self. Therefore, I've decided to wrap up all the old stuff into one nice package. Seems like like a fitting way to be finished with the old and on to the new. A fresh start, if you will. Much more is coming soon... Thank you. - Alex :)

  The Rainbow Nexus Impatiently Hungers!

  Good evening, goons! The FINAL update has arrived! This is a biggun' so strap in for a large list of changes! HERE WE GO: - Added 50 new levels, these are accessed in the Main Menu by selecting the 'DLC' button and traversing the 'Mirror Tower'. - Added 2 new bosses in the DLC. - Updated the Squirm OST to include the new DLC music. (Courtesy of E-Lie) - Replaced the ice world music with something less awful. The OST has been updated to reflect this change as well. (Courtesy of Amaar Al-Zadjali) - You can no longer walk off the edge in the cut-scene. - Made controls WAY more consistent! - The game now reads your jump inputs slightly before touching the ground. (Like all good plat-former games should do.) - Added an achievement for the "new" NPC in . - Added 3 new achievements for 'The Rainbow Nexus' DLC. (There are 69 achievements now. Nice.) - New save file system. (A '.squim' file should now be in the Squirm directory!) - CLOUD SAVES! - Made jet pack controls less WONKY! (I slowed the descent and ascent of the player, basically.) - Credits updated. :) - Probably some other random stuff I'm forgetting. - Fixed that bug where holding down the move button while dying to the ghosts constantly ramps up their speed past that of light and reality itself. Surely it's a miracle our CPUs have survived such a tremendous breakthrough in physics. Now I know what you are probably thinking of asking: "Why release the update 2 months early?" My response is: "It's free early content. WADDYA CRYIN' ABOUT!?!?!"

  Squirm: The Rainbow Nexus

  March 23rd marks the 3rd anniversary of Squirm! I can't believe my baby is 3 years old now! Where did all that time go? I can't work on Squirm forever! Regardless of this fact, let's finish it off with a BANG! I am releasing one more final update. (Final for REAL this time.) It shall include: A new world with 20 levels! The absolute HARDEST levels yet! 2 new bosses. New tunes by E-Lie! (The guy who made that space music that everyone loves!) Cloud saves! Better controls. (Specifically the way that the game will now read jump inputs slightly before landing on the ground!) Until March 23rd, I shall leave you with this image: https://twitter.com/Alpenter/status/1345770474761052160?s=20 See you then! - Alex :D

  Pocket Squim the Mobile Game Mini-Prequel now available on Steam + New Game!

  The mobile game mini-prequel to Squirm has been ported to Windows, Mac and Linux. It is now available as a $0.99 DLC to Squirm! The store page is here! ..but wait there's more... I made a new full game! It releases on 4/20! It is called Loop-Loop DX and it will be FREE! It's a twin-stick shooter and you can check out the store page here! ...am I missing something else... ... OH! LEGEND OF BEAN! Remember that one DLC I was gunna make for this game? Well, I kinda got SUPER burnt out on platformers and made Loop-Loop DX instead. Now that Loop-Loop DX was finished a month ago, I began working on Legend of Bean again. Legend of Bean has become too large and grand, I feel it would be wasted as a DLC to Squirm. I have come too the conclusion that Legend of Bean will now be it's own standalone game. Also... it has a name change.... ahem.... Have a look for yourself. With new games releasing/new projects underway... this will sadly be the final announcement and new content I will add to Squirm. It is done. Fare thee well friends! See you around at my newer games/future projects! - Alex :D (Oh and since you are still here, did you know I have a lovely, small, yet humble Patreon page? It's pretty cool, you should check it out!)
