The Download Munkey : Download This, Download That :)

In this game by JTR, you play a ravenous death worm. Or a lazy death worm for that matter, since it doesn’t penalize you for skulking under the surface of the desert for the whole day if you really insist on doing that First read about this game from the article Death by Annelid by Thaumaturge in the free, primarily adventure gaming magazine Adventure Lantern Oct 2007 issue recommended by the Gnome.

As a death worm (perhaps a Mongolian death worm), your objective is to accumulate as much meat as possible by consuming all lifeforms above and below ground to both grow in the size as well as to enter into the highscore table

You manuever the death worm by pointing its jaws towards its unsuspecting prey using the left and right cursor keys and accelerate by alternately tapping or holding the up cursor key. By tweaking the speed, you can either burst out from the sand, devour any animal in its way and then crash back into the sand to relative safety or skim along the ground surface to swallow anything in your path. Press Q to turn off screenshake if it’s too disorientating.

It’s raining food

As the game progresses, humans and otherworldly creatures take the place of the defenseless animals originally populating the area. Escorted by their weapons of war which are both dangerously explosive and highly inedible, they make dangerous prey. As eating replenishes your health (health increase is proportional to the size of your victims), you’ll soon realize that snacking on tiny yet progressively more heavily armed humans does little for your well-being (and high score).

The game of course, ends when your worm dies, which is usually around ten minutes for me
