Description
Worm and Apple is a single-player arcade-style video game developed and published by a small independent studio, first released in 2023. The game is presented from a top-down perspective and features a minimalist visual aesthetic, with a dark background and brightly colored, simple geometric shapes representing the player character and objects. The core objective involves controlling a continuously moving, segmented worm-like creature. The primary goal is to consume red apples that appear randomly on a bounded, rectangular playfield. Each apple consumed increases the worm’s length by one segment. The game ends when the worm collides with its own body or the outer boundary of the playfield. The difficulty escalates as the worm grows longer, as the increased length reduces the available maneuvering space and increases the likelihood of self-collision. The game tracks the player’s current score, which is equivalent to the number of apples eaten. No power-ups, obstacles, or alternative objectives exist. The game is designed for a single session of play, with no save states or level progression. The only variable is the speed of the worm, which remains constant throughout a single game.

Instructions
Gameplay and controls are limited to directional input. The worm moves continuously in one of four cardinal directions: up, down, left, or right. The player cannot stop the worm or reverse its direction directly. The player changes the worm’s heading by pressing the corresponding arrow key on a keyboard or a directional pad on a game controller. The worm’s head moves one grid unit per time interval, and each subsequent segment follows the path of the head. The apple spawns at a random, unoccupied grid coordinate after the previous apple is consumed. The game provides no pause function. The interface consists of a single screen displaying the playfield, the current score in the upper-left corner, and a “Game Over” message upon collision. The player restarts a new game by pressing the spacebar or the start button. No tutorial, difficulty settings, or configuration options are present. The game’s control scheme is identical across all platforms.
