Digital Eel Releases The Plasmaworm For Free!

- Got a note from Rich over at indie stalwarts Digital Eel revealing some very neat news: "Hot off the hyperwire: Digital Eel's very first game, Plasmaworm (quite possibly the coolest Snake game in the Five Galaxies), is now absolutely FREE! You get the FULL GAME plus level passwords with no strings attached."

Here's the system requirements/info for the game, which includes: "360 degree movement; in-game level, music and plasma editors; solo or 2-player co-op or deathmatch modes; guns; bosses; cosmic ducks; the works!" And here's the 2MB installer for the Windows title, yay.

There are Plasmaworm screenshots on the site, too - these are the trippy folks behind super-neat 'short' space combat game Weird Worlds, let's not forget. Oh, also, just spotted a teaser for Digital Eel's next game on their front page, 'Eat Electric Death', described as 'Tactical starship combat in your living room!' Whatever insanity that is.

Comments

I think it is a boardgame, actually. :)

Lovely little game with trippy graphics. Would definitely work well on a phone methinks ;)

Yes, I played this game a long time ago. The first time it was released for free.

Ah, yes, the Manifesto Games give-away... It was not freeware then, mind you...

Fluffy Bunny is correct, Eat Electric Death! is a board game. And the perfect lifecoach, if your life includes piloting starships and getting all Zap Brannigan on alien chicks.
