A technicolour, neon, visually mind-blowing interpretation of the classic Snake game.
Plasmaworm is an arena collect-those-items style game that we’ve seen before. What makes this one different? How about you look at the screenshot for the answer to that.
You take control of a hideous, translucent, pulsating worm and its your mission to guide it around and eat the apples. Wait – those aren’t apples! The things to collect are often hilariously nonsensical. How about a tasty ‘face from the front of a pumpkin’ or ‘man holding umbrella’. There is an apple in there somewhere but more frequently you’ll be chowing down on pianos.
In this visually amazing game, your turgid worm rumbles around the arena, blobbing itself over fast panels, halting progress on slow panels and frequently avoiding walls. In order to break the monotony that most Snake games hold, there are bonus levels, such as a duck hunt.
Undeniably visually active this is the most eye-candy heavy version of – pretty much anything – that I’ve ever seen. For an interesting take on the genre, and one which successfully works as a remake and as a game of its own: check out Plasmaworm now.
