Description
🐍 Worm Hunt - A Colorful Worm Collection Puzzle Game
Worm Hunt is a complete and production-ready Unity puzzle game template designed around a satisfying combination of sort, jam, match, and merge-style mechanics.
Players interact with colorful nests and worms while solving increasingly challenging grid-based puzzles. The gameplay revolves around selecting available nests, spawning worms, collecting matching cubes, and completing objectives to clear each level.
Only the nests positioned in the front row can be selected. Once moved into an available slot, a nest releases worms according to its color. The worms then travel through a 32×32 cube grid, searching for and collecting the closest matching cubes before returning to their corresponding nest.
The core loop is simple to understand, but special nest states and limited slots introduce additional strategic decisions as the levels progress.
Worm Hunt also comes with 100+ ready-to-play levels, a ScriptableObject-based Level Editor, multiple gameplay power-ups, Unity IAP v5 integration, and an art style that can be customized and reskinned for different game themes.
🎮 Core Gameplay
🪹 Move Nests
Players can select nests positioned in the front row and move them into an available slot.
The limited availability of slots adds an important layer of planning to each puzzle.
🐛 Spawn Colorful Worms
Once a nest is placed into a slot, it spawns worms according to the nest's color.
🧊 Collect Matching Cubes
The worms travel through the 32×32 grid and collect the closest cubes that match their color.
🏠 Return to the Nest
After collecting the required cubes, the worms travel back to their matching nest.
🏆 Clear the Level
Complete the required objectives and clear all nests to successfully finish the level.
🧩 Special Nest States
Worm Hunt adds special nest conditions that change how players solve individual levels.
❄️ Frozen Nest
A Frozen Nest can be moved into a slot, but it cannot spawn worms until the frozen condition is removed.
Use the Hammer power-up to break the frozen state.
🔒 Locked Nest
A Locked Nest cannot be selected or moved.
The Key power-up is required to unlock it.
🔥 Decay Nest
A Decay Nest cannot be selected and has a countdown before it burns out.
Use the Cooler power-up to stop the decay countdown.
These special nests make the puzzle system more dynamic and give level designers additional tools for creating different challenges.
⚡ Power-Ups
The template includes a power-up framework designed to work with its monetization system.
