How to play

Use the arrow keys to navigate your worm through the earth. Steer with the left and right keys while holding the up key to gain speed and propel yourself toward the surface. Time your breaches carefully to catch targets above ground, then dive back down to build momentum for your next strike. Success depends on maintaining high acceleration and choosing the right angle to emerge.

Tips for beginners

  • Build up significant speed underground before launching yourself into the air for maximum reach.
  • Plan your trajectory while submerged to ensure you hit targets efficiently during each breach.
  • Keep moving constantly to maintain momentum and make it harder for surface threats to track you.
