In nature, death is only the beginning...
You have just hatched and have only one thing in mind: Feeding. However, it would seem your voracious siblings have already eaten most of the food. Thankfully, you are an unusually agile maggot, with a knack for launching yourself through the air.
Use your abilities to traverse the carcass and find something to eat. But be careful. You and your siblings aren't the only hungry creatures in the forest.

I played this because I felt about about a comment you left on a YouTube video saying how your game didn't get a chance during a jam.
While the game isn't at all what you said the game jam hosts said it was, it is a bit frustrating at 2 points. The fact your thing can flip upside down causing you so be unable to jump is weird too, but you made an unstuck button for that reason. I am interested in what else you'll make next. I will be watching your career with great interest.
