Hyperwurm Is Back!

Hyperwurm Is Back! has four types of challenges in which you guide a worm through stages, collect food or fuel, and avoid hazards and enemies.

Challenges

• Growth Challenge: Keep moving, collect food and avoid poisonous food to keep your worm alive. Some stages include boss duels where the fastest eater wins. In the first stage, survive until the cooldown runs out.
• Maze Escape: Clear every piece of food in a labyrinth before space runs out.
• Fuel Hunt: Collect scattered fuel cans while navigating corridors patrolled by enemies.
• Corner Combat: Trap enemy worms without touching any corner segments.

AI assist modes

You can switch between four AI Assist Modes at any time. Each controls your worm differently, ranging from greedy pathfinding to Hamiltonian cycles and a low-IQ NEAT neural-network brain. You can combine AI and manual control to try to survive longer and raise your score. A separate training function trains a NEAT neural network and uses high CPU resources.
