What changed for the player, release by release, newest first.
1.5 · A home of its own
in testing
- The game lives at wormillion.com now, one address for the page and for the daily comparison, so the comparison works wherever you play and shares point at the new home. A shared daily links to wormillion.com/daily, which opens straight into today's dig.
- Past digs: three days after a daily closes, wormillion.com/daily/N shows its ten prompts, how everyone did on each, and the rarest answer each one would have taken. The Archive page lists them all.
- Every place in the bank is listed at wormillion.com/places, by category, by how obscure it is, and by region - with the views, the obscurity and the points each one is worth.
- A How to play page, and this list at wormillion.com/patch-notes as well as here.
- Sharing a link now shows a preview image, and the game can be added to a phone's home screen.
- A new icon - the worm, goggles on, shovel in hand, halfway through the planet - and a new look for everything around the game: the pages dig down through the strata as you read them. The game itself is exactly as it was.
- Scroll down on the front page: how the game works, the tiers with real examples, every category with the prompts it can ask, and answers to the usual questions - plus what today's dig is and the latest recap.
1.4 · Ten rounds, a Skip button, and this screen
- A dig is ten rounds now, not fifteen. Every answer pays one and a half times what it did, so the most a run can score is still 15,000 and the deepest it can go is still 1,500 — your best dive and your history are on the same scale as before.
- Skip. A button under the answer row gives the round up at once. It costs exactly what letting the clock run out costs: no points, no dig — and the summary says which rounds you skipped.
- Conditional prompts come up as often as they did: about seven of the ten rounds carry a condition, after two plain ones to open.
- Today's dig changed with the round count, so the Review of a daily you played before this update says the prompts have changed. Your score, your streak and your share grid for it are untouched.
- Patch notes: this screen, from the button on the title screen.
