While playing you can pick up gold which is then used to buy items in the technology shop. In the shop you can buy extra abilities to give you an advantage.
The abilities you purchase in the shop are usually permanent, while abilities picked up during game play are lost when the level finishes.
Abilities include increased speed, slower enemies, slowing down time, shorten enemies, jam hunters, divide flatworm, easier enemies, harder allies, worm repeller, make enemy dotty, extra life, extra armor, hyperspace, extra missile, homing missile, homing assassin, craze enemies, force field, make barricades, change border, start jabber, shoot laser, invincibility, auto turning, gold coin, steal gold, take control, steal human score, accelerator, do bad stuff, diagonal lines, lose diagonals, flatworm food, produce gold, and worm magnet.
You cannot crash while you have armor or hyperspace units. Armor simply beats through the walls. Hyperspace will jump you to a random location. You can also shoot missiles at your enemies.
There is also the standard food which you eat to make your worm longer.
How’s that for a take on the game worm?”
Another thing that really makes Flatworm II enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Flatworm II. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
