Worm Escape

If you're the sort who replays a level in your head before making a move, Worm Escape was built for you. Every board is a tangle of worms packed into tight spaces, and only one order of moves clears the way. Tap the wrong worm first and you'll watch your own progress lock itself shut.

The controls stay simple - click or tap a worm to move it, zoom in with the mouse wheel or a pinch to see the squeeze coming. But simple controls don't mean simple levels. As you climb, the worms multiply and the gaps shrink, so the plan you needed on level one won't save you by level twenty.

It's a quiet kind of tension: no timer screaming at you, no blood, no chaos, just you staring at a knot of worms until the right sequence clicks. If that sounds like your idea of a good ten minutes, you're in the right place. Fans of Puzzle games who like their brain-teasers tidy and logic-driven will feel right at home.

Looking for something after you've cracked every worm level? Mahjong Connect and Rescue Hero scratch a similar problem-solving itch.

Clear each level by moving the worms in the correct order until the board is free. One right move can solve the whole puzzle - one wrong move can block you completely.

On PC, click a worm to move it and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out for a better look at tight spots. On mobile, tap a worm to move it and pinch to zoom.

Before you tap anything, scan the whole board first. As levels add more worms into smaller spaces, spotting the one safe first move matters more than moving fast.
