About

Worm Escape

Features
Read full description

Worm Escape drops you into a sewage system overrun with creatures clawing their way up. Every worm, roach, lizard, and frog you let escape costs you health. One tap — one kill. No mercy. What starts as a casual squash session quickly turns into full chaos: swarming critters, massive bosses, event-driven wave bursts, and a pullback mechanic that forces split-second strategic choices. Every run is different. FEATURES • 20 Handcrafted Levels — Each with a unique name, theme, and custom background art, divided across 5 difficulty tiers from "The Drain" to "Beyond." • Defense Mode — Four special levels (5, 8, 12, 16) flip the formula. Protect food items as worms attack from every screen edge. • Endless Mode — No finish line. Difficulty scales continuously. Chase your personal best forever. • 3 Critter Species — Roaches swarm fast, lizards tank hits, frogs leap and tongue-strike. Each unlocks as your score climbs. • Boss Fights — Fight massive bosses that scale with the level. Sustained taps required — no spam wins here. • 15+ Power-ups — Bombs, SlowMo, Reverse, Freeze, Chain Lightning, Decoy, Vacuum, Armor, Rage, Split, and more. Three storage slots let you bank abilities for the perfect moment. • Special Events — Wave Bursts, Edge Events, Patrol formations, and Split events keep every run unpredictable. • Dynamic Sewage Behaviors — Static, teleporting, drifting, multi-sewage, and split-and-merge spawn points evolve level by level. • 15+ Medals — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Obsidian rarity tiers reward lifetime mastery across kills, power-ups, bosses, and pinpoint runs. • Game Center Leaderboards — Compete for the top High Score, Level, and Medal counts globally. • Haptic Feedback — Every hit, every kill, every boss blast reinforced with tactile feedback. • Made for iPhone and iPad — Native SpriteKit, portrait orientation, tuned for one-handed play. STRATEGY TIPS • Killing critters restores health (Roach +1, Lizard +2, Frog +3). Hunt them when you're low. • Save Bombs for boss phases — they deal 50% boss HP. • The Reverse power-up in Defense mode detaches worms already eating your food. • Pull-back pauses every 18–55 seconds after Level 7 — use them to clean house before the next wave. Free to play. Ad-supported with optional ad-free upgrade and a powerup bundle. No pay-to-win mechanics. Grab your finger. The sewage is rising.
