Worm Power

You are a drone stationed deep in the heart of a giant death worm hive, manning a powerful drill.  You don't know what you are looking for; You only know you must keep drilling, the drill is running low on power, and the engineers forgot to tell you how to start it up again.  Fortunately, the drill ejects high voltage crystals that it can't break down.  Use them to power the drill so it doesn't stop, but be careful: High voltage crystals are a death worm's favorite snack... and they might eat you instead.  How long can you keep the drill running...

Pick up crystals, and bring them to the drill's receptacles to keep it running.  Different crystal types will recharge different amounts of power: White quartz, 2 seconds; Red ruby, 5 seconds; Blue diamond, 10 seconds; Crackling explosives... Don't put them in the drill.  Feed them to worms to get rid of the explosive and the worm.  They will eat anything they can fit in their mouths.

Controls:

WASD: Move

Left Click: Pick up/Drop crystals if you are near them

This game was made for Trijam 318: The 3 Hour Game Jam, with the theme of "Low on Power".  I built the game on my own in 3 hours 10 minutes.  I went a little over the limit, and I wasn't able to add any sound or visual effects.  If I come back to this project in the future, I will add sound effects and music, a spray of debris for the drill's exhaust, and I would like to rework the worms a little.
