149 votes

Even though the worm is spineless, the worm endures by constantly digging to look for food and moisture, but the Deep Worm is different. This is a worm that has evolved beyond the idea of a worm that we have known for many years and it's a worm that poses a threat. Still, this worm is more a part of nature than humans and is just doing what it needs to do to survive. This leads the worm to start digging close to humans so that it can feed and survive, but the humans aren't getting eaten without a fight.

About Deep Worm

Worms aren't usually the protagonists of stories, but considering how close they are to snakes, there is room for them to grow. This game is all about a worm's desire to eat and survive despite being hunted by well-equipped creatures. The worm is powerful and fast, but it's not invincible so one needs to use caution. It's just one worm and recovery is not a fast process which is why it needs to use underground to its advantage. It needs to pick the right moments to emerge and reduce its exposure so that humans can't use it for target practice.

How to Play

Deep Worm is a 2D arcade game about a worm digging and eating while being hunted using the mouse or keyboard. To move the worm with the mouse, hold the Left Mouse Button and drag the cursor around the screen. The Right Mouse Button will trigger the turbo while the worm will move forward on its own.

The goal is to survive as long as possible and eat as many humans as the worm can eat. The worm's health is shown at the top of the screen. When the worm's health empties, the worm will be destroyed and your run will end.

At the start, the worm will drop down into the underground and begin digging. The worm has free reign of the underground while the surface will be full of human enemies. The humans will be armed with guns and will fire at the worm if it's in range. To eat humans, the worm must breach the surface and use its jaws. As time goes on, more humans will appear on the surface and some of them will be driving vehicles. The worm can't eat vehicles but can destroy them by charging into them. The more the worm eats, the more it will recover.

Tips and Tricks

You need to be cautious will the worm as humans tend to group and are very accurate with their shots. It's possible to skim the bottom of the surface and scoop up humans while staying relatively protected. What you must avoid doing is breaching the surface vertically since that will just give humans a very easy target.
