How to Play

Getting started with wormb is a breeze, thanks to its easy controls and approachable design. To begin, simply launch the game in your favorite modern web browser via itch.io—no downloads needed.

The main objective in wormb is to maneuver your worm safely through a maze of obstacles and collect points. Use your keyboard's arrow keys (or WASD) to slither left or right and advance through each twisty level. The movements are buttery-smooth, so you can quickly react to changing level layouts and sudden hazards.

As you progress, pay attention to ever-shifting obstacles and collectibles scattered across the stage. Picking up bonuses will boost your score, while colliding with blockades ends your run—so stay sharp! Once you reach the end of a level, your best score is displayed, encouraging you to replay and improve with each attempt.

If you're new, start slow to get a feel for the controls and the timing of obstacles. Each level increases in complexity, so developing a rhythm early is key. As you get more comfortable, try boosting your pace and seeking out all the hidden collectibles. Since the game doesn't support touch controls or mobile play, using a full keyboard setup ensures precision for those tight turns and speedy reflexes.
