Introduction

Apple Worm is a puzzle platformer game that involves eating the apple, body growing and getting to the portal without getting stuck in any spot. The primary elements of the game that can be identified include movement on the grid, body length, support, small corridors and path-finding. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the player to think about the position of the worm's tail after every bite instead of just going through the game at maximum speed. The main issue becomes falling off ledges or covering the portal with your body.

How to Play Apple Worm

Learn how to respond to the Apple Worm first. The arrow keys or the WASD keys will make the worm move. Next, try to find the shortest possible path from the apple, which makes the worm bigger and helps it get out through the portal, without becoming trapped. This involves considering where the tail of the worm ends after taking each bite. The reason being that the worm can be penalized instantly by falling into the void or blocking the portal by its own body.
