Berlin, October 5, 2026 - Ivy Juice today announced a publishing partnership with solo developer Tikotey for Worm Capitalist, an incremental game about feeding worms, watching them consume everything pixel by pixel, and turning their poop into profit. A brand-new trailer drops today at 6 PM CEST, and a free demo is available now on Steam.
In Worm Capitalist, players build and manage a worm colony: purchasing food, unlocking upgrades, and automating production until the whole operation runs itself. The game's loop is deceptively simple: feed worms, collect what they produce, spend that on making them eat more. Beneath the absurd premise sits a full incremental system complete with a skill tree and colony resets with permanent bonuses. It is, in every sense, a business built on poop.
