SANDWORM
A downloadable game
You live in the middle of the desert, in a town called Superior, with a population of 20 people. Not too long ago, pets, horses and cattle started disappearing. Now, even people have gone missing! After some investigation, you discovered that they all fell prey to a giant 30 feet long sandworm! This monstrous creature seems to strike mainly during daytime and is attracted to vibrations at ground level. With these facts in hand, you came up with a plan to get rid of the damned thing: put a noisy device next to a stack of lit dynamite sticks to bait the sandworm in a remote spot, far from Superior. Then, quickly get away and pray to heavens that the crawler snacks on your dynamite and gets blown to smithereens!

Fun little game, I've been splattered by the worm three times so far but I'm determined to win. I have a gift for turning over 10s and 9s in my first few turns it seems. An expanded version with variable placement of the impassable terrain features and/or the extra locations would be a cool twist!
Hi Andrew! Thank you for the feedback. Unseen Ways and myself definitely want to expand Sandworm in the future. A modulable map is among the ideas we are toying with.
Stay strong, you will beat the worm someday! ;)
Oh! I didn't realize you were the creator of Foaming Mutant and Slipgate Chokepoint! I am a fan of your games. I still have to beat Foaming Mutant, by the way! Hehehe.
Thank you very much, reciprocated. Looking forward to seeing what's next. PS There's three separate ways to win ROTFM, you'll get there!
OK, now I have to beat it. Getting on it tomorrow! :)
Great game, just downloaded. Lone Adventurer brought me here.
Thank you for your support, it's very appreciated! Paul did amazing on the map!
