worm halloween festival! :jackolantern:

The worms in Halloween costumes. Jeremy has candy corn ties and a cat ear headband, Pretzel is covered in cobwebs, String Cheese has bat wings and fangs, Matilda has a large autumn leaf and a witch hat, Pool Noodle has a jack-o-lantern inner tube and a piece of pumpkin on their head, and Microplastics is wearing a crumpled candy wrapper like a dress.

spooky worm time is upon us!

the worms have put on their costumes and are ready to receive a full set of unique food items. some of these work differently than you might be used to - don't be afraid to experiment, none of the foods available during this holiday count towards the hater leaderboards!

Four new food items: Caramel Apple, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Witch's Brew, and Ghost Potion.

happy halloween, hope you enjoy! :ghost: :blackheart:

weaker worm poison :poison:

#games #worms #worm race #minor

realized i overdid it, poisons have been watered down (less progress effect at zero health)

worm race exploit fixes

#games #worms #worm race #bug fix

changes to hopefully reduce exploits!

slightly stricter cooldown restrictions on accounts and IP addresses
prevent double form submission using javascript
just in case, also prevent feedings less than 5 seconds apart on the backend

setting up some worm holidays

#games #worms #worm race

halloween is all ready to go, valentine's is Big but a little more than halfway done, april fool's also mostly finished. i'm so excited about these, can't believe i have to wait to show them to everyone. preview what's coming for valentine's here if you want.

on that note, if you witnessed the accidental pushing of a weird update for 2 hours yesterday.... ignore that.

finally, this means nothing to anybody else, but the item data has been moved to php! i had to keep them in the sql database for security purposes when everything was html/javascript, but now that's unnecessary and annoying. hopefully i didn't break anything in the process.

worm race award adjustments, poison effect increase

#games #worms #worm race

Poison now does -50 progress on worms with zero health, equivalent to one Battery Juice at full health. Hate is as strong as love broken heart

Round gold crown stamp in red and yellow.

New awards for the winner of the previous season, and the worm with the highest ever progress increase in a single day. The single day data is also displayed in the trophy case.

The preexisting Underdog award now goes to the loser of the previous season. Additionally, the Creature's Pet award no longer displays on the racetrack, only on the worm's trophy page.

color palette corrections

#general #worms #worm race #minor

Realized that the color palettes across some pages (particularly worm race) has drifted over time, and couldn't unsee the inconsistencies. Made very slight changes to correct this, most notably the pinks, purples, and blues. Wouldn't make an update about it but I know y'all are autistic and don't want to scare anyone with unannounced changes lol
