Apple Worm Game

Apple Worm is a puzzle game where you guide a short green worm through 30 tightly built levels, eating apples to grow long enough to reach the exit. The worm moves as a single rigid chain — push the head one square, and every segment behind it follows in turn.

Growing is the whole twist. A longer worm can stretch across gaps a short one can't, but it also takes up more space, and a worm that grows into a corner with nowhere left to turn is stuck for good. Each level is really a short logic puzzle about deciding when to eat and when to hold back, so you don't box yourself in a move before the exit.

Controls

WASD keys to move on desktop. On phone and tablet, use the on-screen movement buttons.

Tips

• Don't eat an apple just because it's there — growing early can seal off a path you'll need later.
• Trace the path to the exit before your first move; the worm can't easily undo a bad turn once it's grown.
• If you get stuck, restarting the level is instant, so treat early attempts as scouting.
