Game	Dino Quake

Worms are enemies in Dino Quake. They appear in levels 7, 8 and 11 (2-1, 2-2 and 2-5).

Behaviour

Worms move back and forth on a platform under the surface. Periodically, they will stick and wave their head out of the ground before retreating into their burrow and continuing their pattern. They remain on the same platform they are situated on for the entire level and cannot move to other platforms.

Worms can only harm the dinosaurs when above the ground. During their underground pattern, the player can pass above them without losing a life.

Strategy

Worms can only be killed by a quake when they are above ground. If the player creates a quake and hits an underground worm, it will immediately move in the opposite direction. This can allow the player to corner the worm against a wall using rapid quake attacks until they are able to kill it upon resurfacing.

When defeated, worms will drop a fruit based on the combo of enemies hit with a single quake:

• 1 combo - Cherry (100 pts)
• 2 combo - Lemon (200 pts)
• 3+ combo - Grape (500 pts)
