Worm

Worm is a multi-level snake-like puzzle game we made for an AP Computer Science AB class. Release v1.0 was the version submitted for the assignment, and v1.1 contains a few minor improvements.

Mechanics

• The player controls a worm. The goal of the game is to make it to the goal/galaxy block.
• The player's worm obeys gravity.
• The player can move backwards if there's no block in the way.
• The level restarts if the worm goes entirely offscreen.

Blocks

• The player can eat pears to grow longer but does not need to eat them all to win.
• The level restarts if the worm falls into a shock block.
• When the worm falls on a saw block, the worm gets split at the point of the saw, and the tail end gets removed.
  • If a worm is cut shorter than two tiles, the level restarts.
• The player can push a push block with their head, and this push block does not obey gravity.

Controls

• W, A, S, D, or Up, Down, Left, and Right - Move snake in direction
• R - Restart level
