- The game:
-
- A New game is started from the Game/New menu point, or with the CTRL+N
- keyboard shortcut. The goal of the game is to guide a worm through
- (in the current version) 13 rooms. In each room you have to eat 10 leaves
- in order for the exit to appear. (Be careful, the exit is small and can be
- hard to notice). When the exit appears, you will hear a warning sound.
- If you ate the leaves fast enough, then you will have time to reach the exit.
- When you have only 5 seconds remaining, you will hear a beep every
- second until your time runs out. If you fail to reach the exit, you will
- be presented with 10 more leaves to eat, and repeat the above sequence.
- If you again fail to make it out, you get one more chance. This is your
- last chance, and you will be given a bit more time to complete the level.
- If you still fail to reach the exit, your air runs out, and your worm dies.
-
- The motion of the worm is by default controlled by the cursor keys.
- If you like, you can redefine them. Do this by selecting Keys/redefine
- from the menu, or by using the CTRL+K shortcut. You will see the
- currently mapped keys at the bottom of the window that appears.
- To set a key, first press the cursor key for the direction that you want
- to reassign, then the key that you want to map to the motion.
- Repeat this for all the directions, then hit ESC. You can reset
- the mapping to the default keys by using the Keys/Cursor-keys
- menu point, or CTRL+C shortcut.
- Your worm will lose a life if he runs into himself, the wall
- or any of the objects in the room (except of course leaves).
- As your time runs out, the worm will move faster and faster.
-
- Pause the game using SPACE, and resume by pressing ENTER.
-
- On the right side of the screen you will see the following
- R: XIII : room number
- T: 129 : time remaining
- 3/10 : number of leaves eaten (out of 10)
- P: 53 : score
- L: 3 : remaining lives
-
- Once you have succeeded in completing a level you will be given a code
- with which you can start at the next room next time you play.
- Use the Game/Level menu point, or CTRL+L., enter the code,
- and the game will start at that level
-
