Apple Worm
Worms are strange creatures that may look pretty simple on the surface but they're probably more to them than we realize and that's why we have games like Apple Worm. Who knows what worms eat or how they live (other than those who study them) when they're not being observed? Scenes from films and such may have depicted worms appearing in discarded fruit and vegetables which is why it's reasonable to assume that they would seek out apples. They have limited movement and you need to work with that creatively in order to make sure your little green friend has a healthy snack.
About Apple Worm
Puzzle games can take all shapes and sizes and depending on how you present them, they can appeal to almost anyone. At first, this game may look like something colorful for kids, but very quickly it starts to present you with structures and layouts that present an interesting challenge to overcome. It's not just about getting to the goal, it's about getting there without getting trapped and making sure you get the apple exactly when you need it. The more levels you beat, the more you want to see how many more you can beat before you need to take a break.
How to Play
Apple Worm is a 2D puzzle game played with the keyboard. It offers two different layouts depending on your preference.
Controls
- W/Up Arrow - Move Up
- S/Down Arrow - Move Down
- A/Left Arrow - Move Left
- D/Right Arrow - Move Right
The goal of each level is to guide the move to a swirling portal typically at the other end of the screen. The worm will move one tile in whichever direction you press. It's also a pretty solid worm since as long as one part of its body is supported by a tile, it will maintain its form. The worm can also climb on top of itself. Levels will also have apples that the worm will need to eat in order to grow longer to reach new heights and lengths. Each apple the worm eats will cause it to grow one tile longer. As you progress, you'll also need to take into account other objects like movable blocks that can help or hinder your progress. If the worm becomes trapped or falls off the edge, you'll need to restart the level.
Tips and Tricks
Each level is pretty contained so there's not much information to take in which means you should pay close attention to the layout. If there are gaps or pits, these are indicators of traps that will force a reset. You're not always aiming to get the apple as soon as possible.
