SCORING
The more Worms you rack up, the higher your score. The Worms will always attack in groups. Each group begins with the appearance of one Worm on the screen, then two Worms and then three on up to six Worms at once! You earn 20 points for each Worm shot in the first attack group. The Worm point value increases AND bonus points are awarded after every group is destroyed.
You can also get points for blasting down obstacle Blocks. Blocks are always worth 5 points a piece. Be sure to record your high scores on the back of this folder!
TIPS AND TRICKS

HINTS FROM THE DESIGNER...

To avoid being totally clobbered by hordes of Worms, pull back on the stick whenever a new group is appearing.

If a fuel Pagoda appears on top of a block, carefully shoot away the block, or try just to nick the Pagoda.

When you are refueling, you are safe from collisions. Use this to move over inconvenient Blocks.

The far left and right sides of the screen are safe spots, but don't hang there too long. If you don't shoot Worms, you won't bring on any Pagodas.

Have a good time and show those Worms who's boss.
