Worm Arena

Slither around a crowded arena, eat glowing food and trick three rival worms into crashing into you. Hit a wall or another worm and it is over.

How to play

Steer with the arrow keys, WASD, a swipe on the board or the four on-screen arrows. Your worm keeps moving, so you only choose where it turns.
Eat food to grow longer and score 10 points for each piece. The arena always holds fresh food.
Three rival worms roam the arena. If one of them crashes into your body you earn 25 bonus points, and it drops food where it fell.
Running into a wall, your own body or another worm ends the game. You cannot reverse straight back into yourself.

Make wide loops early. A long worm needs space to turn, and tight spirals trap you.
Cross in front of a rival rather than behind it. Bots turn away from danger, but they sometimes misjudge a close gap.
Rivals that die drop a trail of food, so stay close to the action when someone crashes.
Keep one wall at your side when you can. It leaves you fewer directions to watch.
