Aworm

aWorm is a single- or two-player worm game for the Classic Mac, built by Toni Laaveri under the Serpent Software banner and released as $10 shareware in 1999. It updates the Nibbles formula with thirty-plus levels of dot-eating action, colorful graphics, and stereo sound effects.

Sam and Sal

Players guide worms named Sam and Sal around walled play fields, gobbling dots while avoiding the level geometry and, in two-player mode, each other. Difficulty ramps up as you progress and again on repeated playthroughs.

Solo or shared keyboard

One player can run a campaign solo, or two players can share a single Mac keyboard for head-to-head sessions. The control scheme is the classic four-direction snake input, kept deliberately simple.

Presentation

Compared to plain Nibbles clones, aWorm leans on bright sprite work and stereo audio cues to give each level a distinct feel. The art and sound were a noticeable step up for the late-1990s Mac shareware scene.

Distribution
