Hello hello! Hope everyone's been having a lovely time worming over the last few weeks :) Here's a few updates from us!1.0.4 PatchWe've got a new update that addresses some of the most common feedback we've been hearing since launch, so let's get right into what's new and different:There's a little tray extension that you can flip down from the Printer to make it a tad easier to get things up to the scanner. You can now switch between different keyboards and mice from the Shop App.A few other miscellaneous adjustments to keyboard and mouse upgrades to hopefully make them more effective (preventing multiple key presses on the touch keyboard, making dice easier on the slim keyboard, changing wormgonomic mouse shape slightly to make clicking easier). The trampoline should be a bit harder to clip into now. You can no longer reset your double jump by pausing the game. (For everyone who was having fun flying around, you can still do so with the cups!)And a number of additional bug fixes and tweaks!1,000 ReviewsAlso, we just hit 1,000 reviews on Steam! This is a really crazy number for us and I just couldn't be more grateful to everyone who played the game and shared their thoughts over the last month. I've had a blast seeing what everyone thinks and chatting with people about the game, and I'm looking forward to more! Thank you all so much, till next time! Wormingly Yours,Zach and Mason :)

We've been getting some really helpful feedback and having some great conversations with y'all, so we just pushed our 1.0.3 patch which includes (in addition to some smaller tweaks/fixes):👼 WORMHOLE TORMENT MODE IS NO LONGER AN ACHIEVEMENT 👼I honestly just wasn't expecting so many people to be interested in 100%ing the game, but I absolutely agree that it is way too difficult and separated from the rest of the game to warrant an achievement. As part of this update, anyone who had every achievement except for the torment mode achievement before the patch WILL RECEIVE THE TRANSCENDENTAL INVERTEBRATE ACHIEVEMENT UPON OPENING THE GAME. So get in there and claim your rightfully earned reward :D😈 THERE'S A NEW REWARD FOR COMPLETING TORMENT MODE 😈Instead of an achievement, you'll get a FANCY NEW PLAQUE on your wall commemorating your amazing performance if you complete the wormhole on torment mode. If you've already completed it, the plaque will be waiting for you the next time you open the game! It's been really amazing chatting with you all, and I really appreciate how engaged everyone has been! Keep letting us know your thoughts, we really want this game to be the best version of itself for everyone playing :)Happy worming,Zach & Mason

Worming from Home Removes Torment Mode Achievement, Adds In-Game Plaque
Developer zachnorthropgames has pushed patch 1.0.3 for Worming from Home, making a notable structural change to the achievement system after conversations with players about the difficulty of completing the game fully.
What changed
Wormhole Torment Mode is no longer an achievement. The developer cited the mode being too difficult and too disconnected from the rest of the game to justify its place in the achievement list.
Retroactive unlock for near-completionists. Any player who held every achievement except the Torment Mode achievement before the patch will receive the Transcendental Invertebrate achievement automatically upon next launching the game.
Torment Mode now rewards a wall plaque instead. Completing the wormhole on torment difficulty now grants an in-game decorative plaque. Players who had already finished the mode will find it waiting on their next launch.
The patch also includes smaller tweaks and fixes not detailed in the announcement.
The change reflects a deliberate rebalancing of how the game recognizes its hardest content — shifting Torment Mode from a gating achievement into an optional prestige reward, while ensuring that dedicated players who were one unlock away from full completion aren't left behind.
