Can of Wormholes

Can of Wormholes is a puzzle game built around moving worm-like bodies across a grid to reach specific targets. The player controls a small can that contains these worms, and each move reorganizes their shape across the board. The challenge comes from the way worm bodies stretch, bend, and follow the leader segment. The level ends only when every worm fits into its assigned hole, which requires precise planning and understanding of how their paths evolve.

Movement And Control

The player moves the can one tile at a time, and the worms adjust their bodies accordingly. Their movement is continuous and cannot be separated from the can’s actions, which creates situations where a small shift changes the entire layout. Because worms occupy multiple tiles, even a minor adjustment can block routes or create new ones. Many puzzles rely on seeing how the shape of a worm changes when it backtracks or turns, making each step a potential solution or setback.

Tasks And Challenges

During the game, the player faces a range of recurring tasks and puzzle types, including:

·         Guiding individual worms toward holes with fixed orientation or length

·         Adjusting worm positions by pushing blocks or cycling movement patterns

·         Aligning several worms in compact spaces without trapping the can

·         Rotating or redirecting worms around corners to create new openings

·         Rebuilding previous moves through unlimited undo to test alternatives

These challenges combine spatial reasoning with careful sequencing of actions.

Level Design

The structure of Can of Wormholes grows more involved with each new area. Early levels introduce basic mechanics such as simple alignment or navigating small corridors. Later stages increase complexity by adding longer worms, multi-layer maps, and holes that require specific shapes. Some puzzles involve manipulating two or more worms that must be coordinated so they do not block one another. Others present narrow sections where a single wrong turn makes the level unsolvable, encouraging players to think several moves ahead.

Progression And Strategy

As the player advances, they learn how to predict worm movement and how shape changes influence pathways. Many solutions require approaching the layout from an unexpected angle or restructuring the entire board before completing the final step. The game rewards understanding rather than speed, allowing players to analyze each scenario without pressure. By the final levels, the player’s ability to manipulate worm formations becomes the core tool for solving intricate puzzles and completing the journey through Can of Wormholes.
