A rather superior worm game. The food is distributed in a 3D maze; the more you eat, the longer you become and the harder it gets! Eat the random bees and acquire a higher score, but avoid the stinging spider. Consume all the food on one level to gain access to the gate which leads to the next month's garden which is more complex.

All the features we have come to know and love are here; High Score, Hall of Fame, and sound effects, together with a demo mode.

The graphics are of a super standard, well up to that of the arcade, and once the bug bites, you will be well and truly infected with the enthusiasm.

A number of skill levels are available from beginner to daredevil. I have to admit I had to concentrate really hard to reach the third page using the cursor keys. The program doesn't claim to be joystick-compatible, but it ought to be for really high scores.

Just one point of aggravation! Of the few words to appear on the screen, one is mis-spelled and this really looks bad. Please use a dictionary, programmers!
