Apple Worm is a step-by-step puzzle game about a small green worm crawling around floating wooden platforms. You eat apples to grow longer, then find a way to the dark round exit. The puzzles start simple but soon ask you to think about how your body length helps you reach new places.
How to play
Each level has a worm, one or more platforms and a dark round hole that works as the exit. Move the worm one step at a time with the arrow buttons. An on-screen picture in level 2 shows that eating an apple makes the worm one segment longer.
The extra length matters. Later levels have gaps between platforms, tall blocks and apples floating in the air, so you need to plan your route before you move. If you get stuck, you can undo a move, restart the level or use a hint.
Controls
- On-screen arrow buttons: move the worm up, down, left or right
- Undo button: take back your last move (5 shown)
- Hint button: get help with the level (3 shown)
- Restart button (orange arrows): start the level again
- Pause button: pause the game
Tips
- Look at where the apple and the exit are before you make your first move.
- Eating an apple makes you one segment longer, which can help you stretch across gaps or reach higher blocks.
- Use undo for a single mistake rather than restarting the whole level, but note the number of undos is limited.
- Save your hints for the harder levels, as you only start with a few.
Who it's for
Good for children and families who like calm, turn-based puzzles with no time pressure. Early levels are very easy, but later ones look like they need careful planning.
