<p><strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/worm_jazz">Worm Jazz</a></strong> – a puzzle title which was created during a game jam event – has been confirmed for release on the Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p>Described by its developer – Inconspicuous Creations – as a cross between <strong>Bomberman</strong> and <strong>Snake</strong>, it features a “boogie-woogie worm” called Mr. Mark who has to steer his elongating body through a series of mazes in search of the golden apple.</p>
<p>The catch here is that, while you can grow your body by consuming food – just like in Snake – you can also reduce it in size by blowing up segments which remove rocks that block your progress. The game’s off-beat mechanics are complemented by a jazz soundtrack by Oliver Getz, who, according to the press release, has “painstakingly put together loops of calming, upbeat tunes to chill out to.”</p>

<p>Inconspicuous Creations founder and sole developer Yu He had this to say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It’s certainly not a coincidence that the game was conceived at a game jam. In many ways, Worm Jazz feels a lot like a jam session. I think it’s important that the game is instantly familiar, but at the same time be open to new elements that mix things up.</p>
