Can of Wormholes, the worm-based puzzle game with a unique hint system, comes to Steam March 24th

Can of Wormholes, a puzzle game from munted finger games, features a plethora of handcrafted, unique puzzles along with a truly unique hint system, and it's coming to PC on 24th March. It takes the idea of a “can of worms” to the extreme.

Can of Wormholes puts players in control of a sentient tin can, and they must use worms to solve over 100 self-contained puzzles and has you controlling one or more worms to “push, slice, ingest, flip, and squish” objects and yourself to progress and discover constantly evolving new ideas and quirks for players to enjoy and discover. 

The game describes its puzzles as an “exploration of how far the interactions between a seemingly simple collection of objects can be taken”, with the idea that each new level will teach a new idea, interaction, or solution to the player in interesting ways. On top of that, it features an interactive element to its overworld, as puzzle stages connect and interact to form new puzzles for players to tackle.

Can of Wormholes features a unique playable hint system that involves mini-puzzles that tease a crucial piece of information or element central to understanding the larger puzzle — giving you a simpler, more controlled example you can then use in figuring out a vital detail of the stage. 

If this sounds like your kind of thinky, head over to the game's Steam page to wishlist it now and get ready for its release on March 24th.
