Ivy Juice and solo developer Tikotey today announced that Worm Capitalist, the incremental game about turning a worm colony into a booming business, launches on Steam for Windows on November 30, 2026. A new trailer is out now, and the free demo is playable during Steam Next Fest (October 19–26).
Players buy food and strange objects, watch their worms devour them pixel by pixel, and turn the poop into profit. Upgrades boost speed, appetite, and digestion, workers automate the business, and the colony keeps growing until nothing on the map is safe from being eaten. When the empire tops out, players consume their own colony to earn permanent upgrades and rebuild a more efficient one.
Key Features
- Worm-Powered Economy: Feed your colony, harvest what they leave behind, and turn it into cold, hard cash.
- Automate Everything: Grow from hand-feeding a few worms to a self-running worm empire.
- Deep Skill Tree: Spend Colony Points on upgrades, active abilities, and new workers.
- Start Again, Grow Stronger: Consume your colony to earn permanent bonuses for every future run.
- Irresponsible Business Decisions: New worms, objects, abilities, and upgrades keep the expansion going, and each one is a little less responsible than the last.
- Twitch Integration: Name your worms after your viewers, then whip them into shape.
