NAME¶

Nibbles - A worm game for GNOME

SYNOPSIS¶

gnome-nibbles [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION¶

Control a worm in its quest to eat bonuses and become longer. Outmaneuver enemy worms while eating apples and bananas to increase your length. Each worm has six lives and loses one by running into a wall, another worm, or itself. The enemy worms are after the same bonuses that you are, so be careful. If the worms become too large, you won’t have much room to move.

The adventure progresses through 26 maps of increasing difficulty. The early levels are mostly open with a few walls, but later on, cramped spaces and teleporters make things more interesting.

Play on your own against up to five enemy worms, or share your keyboard to play with a friend.
