Just a concept game for now, the code is completely spaghettified and full of bugz, but playable. Grab green pickups to grow, red power-downs shrink the worm. If the worm bites its own tail, that part onward turns to red power-downs, instead of the usual boring "Game Over!". BlitzBASIC sourcecode. (Download) Next version will be more streamlined, possibly with images intead of ovals. I also plan to put in extra power-ups that fall out of the top of the screen, for the player to catch. I already have ideas for another completely different version, but I'm going to leave you lot guessing what those ideas are, for now!.

And yes, I know that the title looks like it was spelled by a 4 year old, it's supposed to be spelled like that coz that's how it sounds. Although, I was thinking of changing it to Skwurm.

Sorry, not got around to trying this, yet. Been stuck on the Mac all morning, and now at work! Title's fine! Reminds me of this -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Keep the circles! I like the fact that it LOOKS like the movement should be 'jumpy' per tile, like ye-olde nibbles, yet its smooth.

Thanks for having a look guys. @Jay: Skweek!, excellent game, I had that on both the CPC and Amiga!. @spinal: If you change line 635 "CreateClock("player1", 5)", you can control the timing rate of the worm. Changing the number to 0 will give a blocky and fast movement, and changing it to 10 will make its movement smooth but very slow. |

Looking back at Skweek, I still prefer the soundtrack on the CPC version.
