Death Worm

It seems that some of the best iPhone games are those that were originally successful flash games. The logic here is simple – online flash games were made for the sole purpose of being addictive and passing the time, so it makes perfect sense that a port onto a mobile device should also be just as successful.

The game ‘Death Worm’ shows this really well. Due to its huge online popularity, the seemingly bizarre premise of controlling a huge killer worm and gobbling up people has managed to survive the transfer to iPhone, and continues to do well.

For fans of the original online game, there is no reason why you should not get this app. The premise is the same, with an added ‘survival’ mode, making it twice the fun. Whilst the game itself is identical to the online version, this is certainly not a downside – the ability to play the game whenever and wherever you want, without internet connection, is surely a benefit. Plus, through having it to play on iOS, you have the added benefit of the beautiful Retina display graphics now on iOS.

However Death Worm is certainly not just a re-release of a popular game – it has plenty to offer newcomers as well. The game itself is fairly large – it features 45 different levels in 3 different areas, and includes two new mini games, and the ever popular achievements and leaderboard function makes it even more compelling to play through to the end, in order to get the best score.
