- All My Games are now Available on Itch.io! - 16 August 2023
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! - 28 January 2021
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 shou…
- Squirm: The Rainbow Nexus - 4 January 2021
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! - 17 April 2020
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…
- Squirm OST Updated - 17 April 2020
The soundtrack was updated to utilize Steam's new(ish) soundtrack features! Pretty cool, right?
- A Mobile Game Prequel has Been Released! - 10 July 2019
Hi everyone! I know it's been a while! The final update DLC 'Legend of Bean' is still coming! However, it's taking a long time and might take a little longer until I'm happy enough with it to release it. In the meantime, I've made a very small mini-game called "Pocket Squim' on mobile devices for just $1. It's a very small, hour long mini-game. I hope that it's enough to hold you off until Legend of Bean comes out! Also, it's available for both Android AND iOS! Wooo! More information and store page links can be found on my website here: https://alpenter.space/pocketsquim.html (P.S. Thank you to everyone that has shown support over the last year on Steam / Patreon / Forums / Twitter / etc. I couldn't have asked for a better fanbase. Thank you.) - Alex :D
- V2.1 Patchnotes. - 13 November 2018
Just a small update that fixes and tweaks a few things. Mirror Tower spawn should work %100 of the time now. Purpose music plays again. Changed S-Rank time from 1 hour to be only 45 minutes. A few people said 1 hour was too easy! >:D Speed rank achievement descriptions are fixed. Made some hitboxes in Purpose to be more forgiving. Also the Mirror Tower music should be uploaded to the DLC as soon as possible. P.S. In case you didn't know, the Mirror Tower music is just the Space music in reverse.
- V2.0 + DLC Announcement! - 9 November 2018
It's BEAN a while! V2.0 will be released before the end of today! It includes the following: A new world, "The Mirror Tower". A special surprise has been added to the party world! An in game timer! Speedrun ranks, as well as achievements to go with them. French language! (Took me forever, things might not be translated, let me know what slipped through the cracks!) Some new spooky NPC has appeared in Purpose. Various level tweaks. Added an achievement for beating the Green Tower without getting a single coin. (The level has been rearranged to do this.) Increased anguish factor by adding the above achievement. Party entrance dialogue no longer spoils the fact that there is a double jump. You can quick fly out of the party zone! You can leave the tower climb segment prematurely. Made it clearer that you should hold the shoot button down at the Cotton boss fight. Removed/Changed some files…

- I fixed ALL (hopefully) the typos! Thank spookytube for giving me a grammar lesson. - I fixed the pause menu getting stuck if you wiggle it too hard.

- SUPER TYPO HUNT 2018! - 25 March 2018
Most of you have noticed one of my major flaws... I don't type too good. People have brought up typos galore! I want to fix them ALL! However... they are kind of scattered about the community. I created this place for you all to post the typos you have found in my game. It's easier for me to track if they are all in one place. Go ahead! Post some typos!
