Worms Zone A Slithery Snake

The lobby, then the mode cards

Apples 20/20, coins 0, and a green To battle! button

The game opens on a lobby with a blue textured background. The top left carries a profile badge for level 1; the top right shows two resources, apples reading 20/20 and coins reading 0, each with a plus button. Under the WORMS ZONE logo sit a daily gift box with an Open button, a video-reward card labelled 10K with a Video button, and a booster showing x1 and 1h 59m. The green To battle! button at the bottom is the way into a match.

The three modes behind it

To battle! leads to three cards. Infinity is the endless one: it is marked with an infinity symbol and the line Get the maximum weight of the worm, and it carries an x2 Points tag. Time is the clock mode, described as Timed mode. Get double points and coins and set at 7 min. Treasure hunter is the short one: Look for treasures on the map, set at 5 min. Each card has its own Play button.

Inside the arena

In the arena: 130, and a timer running down from 7 minutes

A live match draws a Top players panel over the game. The header counts the worms in the match, 130 in the captured run, and the list then ranks them by score, from 168 at the top down to 163 at ninth. Your own row is pinned underneath with its true placement: 124 in that capture, with a score of 0. A timer in the corner read 4m 56s, which is what is left of the 7-minute Time mode, and the score counter beside it read 0.

What the arena hands out

Score arrives in pop-ups over the worm as it eats: the captured frame shows +10 and +250 in the same run, which is what the food and the object that was eaten paid. The floor is drawn with mushrooms and a potion flask among the obstacles, and the build carries 13 mushroom variants, 18 jelly variants and 18 food variants to place. Its config also covers the pieces the arena grows on: food that makes the worm bigger, a weight bar, an eat radius, chests in 6 tiers, and magnet, speed-up, zoom, turn and radar power-ups.

Arena size and respawn

A bigger body, a moving arena and a price to come back

The match is not a fixed room. The build carries an arena size and a target arena size, a maximum worm count, a count of obstacles and a cap on level complexity, so the field and what stands on it change as a run goes on. It also tracks the number of worms on the arena directly, which is the 130 the panel reports.

Dying is a decision with a price

The build keeps a kill count, a respawn strategy, a chance to respawn and a cost to respawn, plus a death-mark timer, so a collision is not always the end of a session: coming back is a choice that is priced. Apples are the same kind of resource, with the lobby showing a ceiling of 20/20, chests and questions paying apples back, and energy carrying its own restoration rate and its own unlimited-energy window. Steering has left-hand and right-hand settings rather than one fixed control, and the build ships a controller labelled Controller type: Treasure Hunter alongside its default one.

Pre-run check

Modes, resources and respawns

These answers stay with the lobby, the three mode cards and the live match that was captured. The first decision in the game is the mode card, because the clock and the reward rules change with it.
