In Worm Puzzle you try to navigate a block like worm through a random environment to the exit on the other side of the screen. You can control the aim and forward momentum of the worm using the arrow keys. The more you press the up key the faster it will go in the direction it’s pointed. If you press the back key the worm will slow down. You will continue to drift in direction you move for a short time. What makes Worm Puzzle interesting is this is all done in a turn based environment. You type a command, the game advances, and then waits for you to type another command. You can press the space key if you don’t want to issue any command and just want the game to advance a turn.

Worm Puzzle suffers from a few bugs and short comings, like needing to press a key before you can see the screen the first time and the fact that you can over shoot your exit. The challenge of this game is to refine it and make a better game.
