Wormarium - A fresh and nicely presented puzzler

| Wormarium

Like Snake, Wormarium has you guiding a flexible wriggler around a series of tight levels.

Unlike Snake, those levels are formed of tight tunnels, and colliding with the walls doesn't mean game over.

No, your foe here is altogether smarter. A scurrying mole follows hot on your heels (not that worms have heels), attempting to head you off as you seek to fill each and every tunnel with your worminess.

The way the moles take shortcuts, anticipating your moves and cutting you off, presents a genuinely tricky and almost human-level challenge. You need to think ahead, choosing the best route and even tempting the mole in closer so as to limit its own options.

There's not much variation beyond this core maze running premise, and it can be frustratingly tricky to come up with working solutions without significant trial and error, but Wormarium is a fresh and nicely presented puzzler.

Jon is a consummate expert in adventure, action, and sports games. Which is just as well, as in real life he's timid, lazy, and unfit. It's amazing how these things even themselves out.
