How to play

  1. On a phone, walk with the arrow buttons, then drag back from anywhere on the screen like pulling a bow and let go to shoot. The further you pull, the harder the shot.
  2. On a computer, walk with the arrow keys, aim with up and down and hold Space to shoot, or pick the mouse style: point, press, pull back and let go.
  3. Changed your mind? Pull back to where you started and let go, and nothing is fired.
  4. Anything that falls into the ink at the bottom is out. If a game drags on, the ink rises.
  5. To play with friends, start a room on this page and share the code. Every player is a team on their own phone; the host can add computer teams.

About it

Two to four teams of worms on a page torn out of a notebook. Take turns walking, aiming and firing: pencil rockets the wind pushes, ink bombs that bounce, a staple gun, a punch, a huge eraser, a paper plane and a paperclip hook to swing on.

Every blast bites a hole in the page. On the Crumbly page, anything that loses its support comes loose, falls, and hurts whoever it lands on.

Play on one phone passed round the table, against the computer, or with friends on their own phones. The dark page swaps the ink for lava.

A turn in progress: a worm aiming a pencil rocket across the hills.
Every blast takes a bite out of the page, and on the Crumbly page whatever loses its support falls.
