Vermi adventures

Adventures of Vermi

A cozy 3D snake about a little worm who eats, grows and travels between two sides of the board.

What it is

Classic snake — but in 3D, third-person, on a wrapping board. The board has two sides: a sunny garden and a dark cave. Holes connect them; on the finite board the very edge does, and any crossing reverses Vermi's direction.

Mechanics

• Eat and grow. Every berry and mushroom makes you longer and refills your boost.
• Boost is a resource. Charging spends the meter; it refills while you cruise. On boost you smash bushes and crystals and knock out foes.
• Obstacles. Rocks, stalagmites and fences are indestructible — weave around them.
• Foes. A golden beetle in the garden, a red-eyed spider in the cave. They never chase you, but contact is fatal.
• Two timers. A level time limit and a hunger bar keep you planning a route.
• Combos and stars. Eat back-to-back to push the multiplier up to ×5. Stars come for finishing and for each level goal: three max.

What's in the demo

• The first 6 levels of the campaign, introducing mechanics one by one.
• Endless mode: three presets plus fine tuning (board size, holes, rocks, bushes, beetles, food, speed, length).
• Russian and English UI.
• Progress, stars and records are saved.

Controls
