## Description
Urthwurms move differently from earthworms; rather than burrowing through
dirt, they seek existing tunnels and are stopped dead in their tracks if they
run into an obstacle head-on. But as invertebrates, their simple central
nervous system makes them difficult to control, and the player’s urthwurm’s
movements are directed with a single button that adjusts their trajectory
through 10 levels of endlessly side-scrolling horizontal tunnel, carelessly
littered with blocks strewn across its course. When the button is depressed,
the wurm gets a buzz and adjusts its course to counter its downward motion and
start heading up; when the button is released, gravity resumes its normal pull
— maintaining a constant course is hence very tricky and the player is much
more likely to leave a trail looking something like a sine wave.
In short, this game is a re-make of the Palm classic SFCave.
