WORMGAME

What it is

WormGame is a small, quiet puzzle game for phones, tablets and desktops. You move a worm one cell at a time across a hand-built island. Gravity acts after every move, the worm cannot jump, and the only way out is the portal at the other end. Fifteen levels ship with the game, more arrive from the author over time, and anyone can build their own in the built-in editor.

How it plays

• The island floats. There is no frame around the level: step off the edge and the worm falls, and the level is lost.
• Gravity comes after the move. The worm grips horizontal surfaces only — it stays put while something solid is directly beneath some segment of it, and otherwise drops until something is.
• Stars grow the worm. Eating one adds a segment and anchors the tail for that turn, so a worm hanging off a ledge can bite and stay hung.
• A worm cannot jump. Rearing up is levered off the body that is not already stacked under the head, so climbing costs length.
• Crumbling blocks give you one move. Solid to walk on, cracked by the worm's weight, gone at the start of the next move.
• Crates are pushed, not carried. One cell sideways, only into a free cell, and a crate pushed off the edge is gone for good.
• Spikes hold nothing up and kill on contact, from every side.
• The portal is always live. Get the head onto it and the level is finished — stars are how you grow long enough to reach it, not a lock on it.

Each level carries a par: the shortest line its author walked. Solving a level records your best move count, and matching par earns a star.

Community levels and moderation

Players can build levels in the editor and share them. A level can only be submitted once its author has finished it themselves: the game records the exact line played and sends it along, and the server replays that line through the game's own rules engine to establish the level can actually be completed. The length of that line becomes the level's par.

• Nothing is published automatically. Every submitted level waits for a human to approve it before it can appear in anyone else's catalogue.
• Report — any downloaded level can be reported from the level picker.
• Hide author — hides every level by that author on your device.
• Withdraw — deleting one of your own levels removes it from the server too.
• Erase everything — one action in the picker deletes your publishing identity and every level it ever sent, published or still in review.
• Levels are plain data — a grid of characters read by the game already installed — not downloaded code.
• The sharing terms are shown in the game and must be accepted before the first level leaves the device. Declining sends nothing; the rest of the game is unaffected.

Privacy

The game collects no personal data. There are no accounts, no advertising, no analytics, no third-party SDKs and no cookies. It never asks for your name, e-mail or location. Progress and the levels you build stay on the device; a server is involved only to download level packs and — if you choose to publish a level — to receive that level and the moves you played to finish it, under a random token that is not linked to you. Anything published can be deleted from inside the game, at once and for good.
