OrbWorms is a 3D take on the classic slither game — set on a living planet you crawl across in real time. • ONLINE LOBBIES — Drop into a shared world with real players from around the globe. Empty slots fill with AI so there's always action. • EAT, GROW, DOMINATE — Devour glowing plants to grow longer and thicker. Cut off other worms and feast on what's left. • POWERUPS — Forcefield, Speed, Immunity, and Wide Reach. Grab the glowing gems or earn them as you play. • ONE GLOBE, NO EDGES — Slither freely across an entire 3D planet. No walls, no corners — just the curve of the world. • PLAY YOUR WAY — Jump into a quick offline round or battle live online. Climb the global leaderboard. Smooth, colorful, and easy to pick up. How long can your worm get?
