Idle & Incremental Lovers reviewed Early Bird gets the Space Worm and gives it a neutral rating :
Your skill tree is as a plinko: that's the most creative, fun and enjoyable part. The rest of the game suffers from pace issues: upgrades are slow to unlock and your bird really feels slow and weak.
+ Credit where credit is due, the plinko-style skill tree is a well-implemented great idea!
- A run is barely enough to unlock an upgrade.
- The former would still be OK if the run where fast and full of dopamine, but there's not enough action, your bird is way to slow, your weapons are way too weak, and there are way too less blocks to break.
- Controlling the bird with your mouse is not a very enjoyable experience. It would probably feel better with a controller.
- The tutorial message popping up at the start of each run is freaking annoying. :-)
- The ending is disappointing, nearly unnoticeable (a small "You beat the game" message at the bottom of the screen when you beat the last level).
Due to the pacing issues, the game feels very repetitive. But I think the experience could be easily improved by a better balance: faster unlocks, more speed, more damage, more blocks... GIMME MY DOPAMINE RUSH! This has the potential to be a pretty good game!
*Why didn’t the bird get the joke? It flew right over its head.*

- Made some changes based on player feedback. Thanks to those that left feedback : ) - Increased some base stats like ship speed, fuel, block count, etc. - Increased progression, which should feel better, but also make the game feel shorter. - Added Double Time option to make worm processing faster. - Added partial controller support. Added WASD movement support for those that prefer that. - Added Unlocks (Comets, Wormholes, Chonky Birds, etc), to the left of the Skill Tree, to add power and variety to runs. - Also added a Reset Confirmation Button for those accidental misclicks.
