About this game

RetroWorm is a Finnish snake game in which collecting the required number of diamonds completes a level. Blue obstacles break up the playing area, and the growing worm makes it harder to return through space already used.

At the main menu, enter 1 and press Enter to start. The other numbered choices toggle sound, change difficulty or quit. Three difficulty settings are described in the developer's notes. Arrow keys change the worm's direction during play.

The status line displays the collected and required diamonds. It also lists Space for pause, plus and minus for speed, and Escape to leave. After a collision, follow the Enter prompt to continue. Use a low difficulty first and leave room for a turn before approaching a wall or your own tail.
