Squirm

About

Squirm is a frantic action game where you race against time to gather eggs in a beehive. Navigate tight corridors while dodging giant worms that swarm the area. Every second counts as the hive’s lights flicker down, forcing you to collect 250 eggs before darkness shuts the mission down. The challenge lies in balancing speed and precision, with enemies that patrol predictable but punishing routes. Released in 1985 for Commodore 64, the game leans into its retro roots with frantic pacing and simple but tense mechanics. Its time-pressure design and aggressive enemy patterns make it a niche pick for players who enjoy old-school arcade thrills. The Commodore’s hardware limitations don’t hold the gameplay back, instead, they sharpen its urgency.
