WormIT! is a unique brain-teasing puzzle that combines hexagonal geometry with circuit-building mechanics. If you think you've mastered Tetris, think again — this game will challenge everything your brain knows about spatial puzzles. Imagine a honeycomb field made of large hexagons, each with a smaller hexagon hole cut out from its center. Your task: place pipe-like fragments into the 6 cells surrounding these holes, connecting them across adjacent hexagons to form closed circuits. Each fragment resembles a worm segment with two exits — align these exits with neighboring fragments to extend your path. When you complete a closed loop, the entire circuit vanishes with a satisfying animation, freeing up space and rewarding you with points. The longer your circuit, the bigger your score! The smallest circuit? Just 3 C-shaped fragments looping around a single hole. But true masters build sprawling worm paths that snake across the entire field before closing. GAME MODES Three ways to play, each with Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels that determine fragment complexity — from simple 2-cell C-shapes to challenging 3-cell configurations. • Arcade Mode — Progress through levels with unique field layouts. Each level introduces more obstacles, testing your strategic thinking as difficulty increases. How far can you go? • Express Mode — Race against a 5-minute timer! Think fast, place faster, and score as many points as possible before time runs out. Perfect for quick sessions and leaderboard competition. • Quest Mode — Each level scatters checkpoint markers across the field. Your challenge: connect ALL checkpoints in a single closed circuit. Creative layouts and strategic obstacle placement make every level a unique puzzle. OBSTACLES & BONUSES Navigate around obstacles that appear on the field: • Barriers — Block cells and force you to find alternate paths • Nails — Pin cells to the field; they remain even after a circuit clears • Gravity Towers — Transform hexagons into gravity wells that auto-fill and clear Collect bonuses by placing fragments under them and completing circuits: • Coins — Build up your balance for purchasing helpers • Anti-Barrier — Remove barriers from the field • Backstep — Undo your last move • Swap — Exchange your current fragment with the next one HELPERS Spend your collected coins on powerful helpers: • Swap — Switch your current fragment with the next in queue • Undo — Take back your last placement and try again • Worker — Remove one barrier from the field • Joker — Draw any fragment shape you need, exactly where you need it FEATURES • Unique hexagonal puzzle mechanics • Three challenging game modes • Game center Leaderboards — compete globally • Game center Achievements — unlock them all • Celtic-inspired visual style • 100% FREE — no ads, no in-app purchases • Made with love, just for fun WormIT! isn't your typical casual puzzle. The hexagonal geometry requires a different way of thinking that can initially feel unfamiliar. But once it clicks, you'll discover a deeply satisfying puzzle experience unlike anything else. Are you ready to master the worm?
