What is new

tapok.cc is open: the games, what is inside them and a live board showing what is happening on the Worm servers right now — how many players are in a world, what time it is there and whether it is raining.

The logo on this page was not drawn from scratch. It was traced out of the studio intro — the one with the ant and the slipper — frame by frame, so the sign on the site and the sign in the game are literally the same shape.

Blocks now read at a glance: whole, cracked and background are three different brightnesses instead of one confusing pair. The bottom twenty rows of every world are bedrock — nothing digs through them, so the world finally has a floor.

Added a chat and a console on the tilde key: commands start with a colon, everything else goes to the players around you. Cheats only work in your own world; on public servers they are off for everyone.

Oil no longer cuts holes through the ground — it carves a cave and sits behind the worm, so you can still see yourself in it. Rain now runs down the camera glass.

Until now the game lived in a browser. It has been rewritten on Godot 4 and now ships as a Windows application: its own physics, its own inventory, its own drawing of the world — and the same server, the same worlds, the same accounts.

Single player moved inside the application as well: the world is generated on your machine by exactly the same rules the server uses, so one seed gives the identical world in both.
