Gnarly. I always wondered what it would be like to be a giant, subterranean-dwelling carnivorous worm-beast. |

It's pretty addicting. My current high score is 601, which isn't very good. I was sailing smoothly but then I went from 50 health to -8 health (dead) abruptly when I accidently popped up in a group of soldiers. I guess there were more of them overlapping than it seemed. |

601 is good........ whats your biggest combo? |

demonoid's still screwed? |

nevermind, it worked. fun game. 603 on first try. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dunno, I think 4 but possibly 5. It's hard to keep track of combos because I concentrate hard on dodging the bullets and landmines every time I breach the surface. |

wont run :( |

ok so I may have been wrong about my combo, I was just played another game without changing my style of play and was getting 8 and 9 combos easily... I just hadn't been paying attention to it until now. |

high score yesterday was only 530......687 this morning.........11 combo got killed by a ground penetrating bomb........ and could see ufo's.. good game..... |

Woo, got my new high score of 1266! At that point in the game, there are constant ground-penetrating and surface bombs, as well as ufos who's beams do massive damage. I went from 1100 points with 90 health to 1266 and dead... I wonder if thats as tough as the game gets or if there is more mayhem to be had? |

849......... 1266 is rediculous! |

You shoulda seen how fat my worm got!! Until that point, I wasn't even sure if he was growing, as I was focusing on not getting bombed, but I glanced at around 1150 and he was like an inch wide on the screen. Lol he got so fat I could barely maneuver, and made an easy target any time I breached the surface. My secret is just to skim the top very briefly in groups of enemies. If you go at them from behind, anything armed with a gun won't fire at you. You can even go straight vertical and just peak your mandibles out and then go right back under for a stealh attack. |
||||||||
|

|
|
crazy! yeah, i was sniping just under the surface, becomes an exercise in patience, until the ground-penetrators come along!.......... can you eat the aliens, or do they cause damage if you do? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stealth* the vertical peak" move might take some practice, as you often dont break the surface and have to go again, or you breach too far and get shot up a bunch. Once you've got it down though, it becomes really easy to pick off difficult enemies. Oh, and always go at tanks from the bottom, youll push them up and away from you. If you go at them horizontally, even from behind, you seem to take damage from the explosion, though I could be wrong about that. |

The green-slug-aliens-with-backpacks, as I like to call them, seem to be 100% edible. Same with the grey aliens (that are, in this case, green as well). At first I thought they hurt you because their blood is green, the same as yours, but I'm fairly certain you can eat them and not be harmed. |

Reminds me of DUNE. I wish the game had gamepad support but fun none the less. |

1602....... nothing new, just more of the same |
||||||||

this is fun. best combo is 32. Wait until you get the zillions of paratroopers then hoover them up in one go if you have enough health. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I love the paratroopers part, But Ive still only gotten a 12 combo on them, as I try to just skim the surface breifly and pick them off in little groups. I went from 37 health to 100 health during the two waves of paratroopers by skimming them so stealthily that I didn't take a single damage from them, and ended up gaining all my life back from the combos. I wish this game lasted a little longer because I'm definitely enjoying it. Unfortunately, it just kind of bottoms-out at 1200+ points and becomes too much bedlam to survive. |
||||||||
|

yeah its a shame that towards the end there are way too many bombs going off. It would be nice if something survived to eat. Also the UFOs do too much damage to the worm if you hit them and there are too many tunneling bombs. I only use the stealth to get the elephants and the big green guys with backpacks. Also I found out that you go faster out of the ground, so by diving in and out in big loops like a dolphin builds up loads of speed so you can completely out manouver any bullets and grab a load of animals. its a fun little distraction. |

It's interesting how many different playing styles emerge in such a simple game. I thought I had worked out a perfect plan of attack, but your strategy is completely different than mine, and actually seems to work just as well for you. I skim horizontally just under the surface at top speed, and pop out just long enough to harvest a bunch of stuff (which can be done with just one tooth/mandible popping out) and then disappear under the surface. The only time I have to change this tactic is when the tunnelling bombs start dropping, at which point it's better to go at the "badguys" vertically from deep down to give yourself as much time as possible to dodge the tunnel bombs. |
||||||||

This game is absolutely wicked if you try to get massive combos. I got 75 as my best combo :D I've also found out that the worms come when you're health is low, so intentionally get hurt a lot at the start and they have loads of time to build up under the ground before all the tunnelling rockets arrive, so just by moving underground you inevitably come across 2 or 3 and get a health fix. |

I just learned that the music in this song is from Alien Power on the Megadrive. Sorry if it's already listed somewhere in the credits, I didn't read those. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The song is called Alien Power and it's from Streets of Rage 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, the tracklisting just said 'alien power - megadrive'. I thought they meant the game's name, not the level, but I stand corrected. :] |
