A puzzle where you need to guide a worm through a series of puzzle rooms, by changing the environment around it.

* Left-click (with an active tool) — Use the tool
* Right-click — Deactivate the tool
Help I'm stuck
* Level 8 — The exit is not where it normally is. I tried my best to hint at its location. (answer)
* Level 12 — What else can you bomb? (answer)
* How does the "Bait" work?
When a worm bonks into a wall and can't decide between going left or right (because both directions are equally [un]obstructed), normally it always goes right. But if you place a bait, it will move in the direction of the closest bait instead.
The bait is only considered when left and right paths are equally good. If one of them requires digging and the other doesn't, the bait will be ignored and the second one will be selected.
Note to Linux users
The Linux build is experimental. If it doesn't work, run the Windows build using Wine.
Make sure the working directory is set to the directory where the executable is. (`cd LD48_earthwyrm_v1.2.1_linux`)
If you tried the Linux version and it worked (or didn't work), please tell what distro and version you're using!
