Info about Worming from Home:

Official game description:
Wriggle your way up the corporate ladder in Worming from Home, a job sim where you’re a worm. Throw your spineless body around the keyboard to answer messages and fill out spreadsheets in your role as a junior financial analyst. Upgrade, invest, and finally earn that promotion!
Experience state of the art ragdoll physics as you soar across your desk, just like a real life worm. Bash your head against the keys to convince your boss that you're actually doing work. Use insider information to illegally game the stock market. Answer the phone occasionally. It's just like any corporate job, only... wormier.
Of course, there’s more to life than making money. Spend your free time getting swole in the gym, reading the latest self-help books, shopping for trinkets, or flirting with your coworkers. Buy upgrades to make your wormy life easier, or buy a bunch of hats. You deserve a little treat :)
