Wurm

Wurm is a video game in the action genre originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

Wurm is a Dutch adaptation of the famous Snake games.

The player controls a small worm named Wally who moves constantly and quickly through a room that generates all kinds of tasty fruits. Guiding the worm left and right, the player has to collect the fruits to accumulate points and watch the creature grow with each catch. While doing so, Wally has to avoid eating the walls of the room or his own tail, as if he eats something wrong he will lose one of his five lives. From time to time moving butterflies will appear that will restore a life once eaten, the player can even acquire more than the initial five lives. The object of the game is to accumulate as many points as possible to earn a place on the integrated highscore list.

So much for the basics, the gameplay of Wurm is not as straightforward as it first appears. Once the worm's tail has reached a certain length, it will suddenly detach itself from the animal, creating a new inedible obstacle in the process. Later on, evil red worms will appear that either move randomly around the screen, or try to eat the tasty fruits before the player's worm, also growing and losing their tails when they succeed too often. Next, jets of water will appear, flooding the room and carrying away the creature's valuable food. Next, spiders will descend using their spider silk and creating even more obstacles, flowers growing from the ground must be avoided, and so on.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
