Hyperwurm is back!
About game
Four different types of challenges:
🐍 Growth Challenge
Keep your worm alive by constantly moving 🐾, collecting food, and avoiding the poisonous one. Some stages include boss duels where the fastest eater wins.
Special Rule for the First Stage: Survive until the CD (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 enemy‑patrolled corridors.
🏍️ Corner Combat
Trap enemy worms without touching any corner segments.

🖱️ + ⌨️ or 🎮 INPUT:
4 Directions:
⬆️⬅️⬇️➡️ WASD or Arrow Keys
(Hold direction keys for Turbocharger 🛞)
or
🖱️ Left_Mouse_Button click & hold (target location)
or
🖱️ hold Right_Mouse_Button for Turbocharger 🛞
🤖 Switch between four AI Assist Modes (F1–F4) at any time.
Each mode controls your worm differently
... from "greedy pathfinding" to full "Hamiltonian cycles" or even a "low IQ NEAT neural‑network brain 🧠".
Mix AI and manual control to survive longer and push your score higher.
🏋️ F5 trains a "NEAT neural network" (NOTE: High CPU usage!)
🙊 F8 to Cheat (skip a stage; but also resets the Highscore...)
✅ ENTER = Confirm
🪫 ESC = Quit
