✨ NAME ✨

worm — play the growing worm game. that’s the name, that’s the game, no cap 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

worm [size]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

In worm, you are literally a little worm. Your body is the "o"s on the screen, and your head is the "@". iconic. You move with the hjkl keys and the arrow keys (as in the game snake) — yes, both, because we contain multitudes 🦋.

If you don’t press any keys, you just keep going in the direction you last moved. no thoughts, head empty, momentum only 💅.

On the screen you’ll see a digit. If your worm eats the digit, it will grow longer — and the actual amount longer depends on which digit it was that you ate. slay? maybe. The object of the game is to see how long you can make the worm grow. that’s the whole mission, bestie 👑.

The game ends when the worm runs into either the sides of the screen, or itself. tragic. The current score (how much the worm has grown) is kept in the upper right corner of the screen. keep an eye on it 👀💖.
