Gameplay
The game plays like a fixed shooter, with the player controlling a tank firing at giant worms. The tank auto scrolls up as the worms and blocks move down. Every time all the worms are wiped out, a new set spawns at the top of the screen. The pagoda can be shot to clear all the worms or rammed into by the tank to receive a fuel bonus. There are 99 waves with each wave starting with one worm with six at the end of the wave.

gollark: If they do not breed, we shall send an army of zyumorphs.
gollark: Though don't those just not produce offspring instead?
gollark: I think it's like holidays, then?
