About Woodworm Classic
Woodworm Classic is a compact pixel-art puzzle game with a woodworm theme, a level select and controls built around careful moves you can take back.
You move with the arrow keys, and Z undoes a move, so it's easy to test an idea and step back if it fails. If a level gets tangled, X resets it, and pressing X again takes you back to the level select to pick another stage.
This is the original version of the game. You can play Woodworm Classic online in this tab with a keyboard.
How to Play Woodworm Classic
- Press X on the title screen to start.
- Move with the arrow keys.
- Press Z to undo a move.
- Press X to reset the current level.
- Press X again after a reset to go back to the level select.
What to Expect in Woodworm Classic
Expect thoughtful, step-by-step puzzles rather than reflex tests. With undo on Z, a wrong move costs nothing, so the challenge is in working out the solution, not in pulling it off quickly.
The pixel art is warm and simple, in wood browns and bright yellow, and the whole thing runs light in a browser tab. Try Woodworm Classic free when you want a puzzle game you can chip away at.
Tips for Woodworm Classic
- Use Z freely. Undoing a few moves is faster than resetting the whole level.
- Reset with X when you've gone far down a dead end; a clean start often makes the solution easier to see.
- Remember that a second press of X leaves the level, so tap it once when you only want a reset.
- Before your first move, picture where you need to end up and work backward from there.
- Click the game window first if the arrow keys do nothing.
