Welcome to wormtown, now let's leave. Unfortunately this fine town has been taken over by a flesh eating worm. The only way out is a train. O̶n̶e̶ A couple problems though The train is missing it's key, it's fuel, and the way ahead is blocked by train cars. Try to work though these problems with your pardners and get outta wormtown!

The movement is your basic WASD.
However, the third person perspective means you need to turn the camera with your mouse.
This may seem UN-intuitive at first but this can be used well when accustomed.


You can sprint by pressing SHIFT (default). This will consume stamina.
Keep an eye on your health because stamina is tied to how much health you have left.
The stamina bar is the blue bar under your health bar.

Finally, make sure to adjust your sensitivity and get used to it so you can move freely pardner. (Sensitivity and controls can be adjusted in the settings)

PARDNER TIP:
Throughout the guide the basics of what you need to know will be underlined

Climbing can be done by rubbing your face on a wall and holding M1 (Left click).
Press the space bar while holding on for your life and you will jump up the wall;
allowing you to do some cowboy maneuvers.

BEWARE! Climbing has a limit and can only be done with empty hands.
By your health bar you will see a little blue circle, this will deplete while you are hanging.


Cowboy Climbing can be used in a variety of ways.
Climbing on top of houses or even the train is a very effective strategy as the worm usually doesn't expect you to be there.
Jumping onto walls also helps you wrangle those rocks and cacti. Jump for an obstacle from your perch and try to grab onto a cactus or another rock.

Good Luck Pardners!

Each player has 3 slots for items.
The weight will determine how much space it takes up.


An item's weight is displayed by hovering over it (number next to blue bag icon).
Nab them up with E and put them away with TAB.
To whip items out use the scroll wheel to make a selection and press M1(With hands empty)
or TAB again.

PARDNER TIP:
Your inventory can be expanded to 5 by finding a backpack hidden around the map.
Remember, the may be hard to find. Look for one at your own risk!

Take the Last Train Outta Worm Town!
To escape you and your pardners will need to complete three tasks!
Once everything is done, pull the lever and round up all your pardners to escape!

- Fuel the Train.
Collect items around the map and throw them in the train!
(Our list of fuels is below)


- Clear the path by blowing up train cars.
Find dynamite in the Quarry and adventure across the map to clear the way!

PARDNER TIP:
Dynamite is valuable, so be careful!
Throw a stick between two train cars to save a few!
That way you can use it as fuel, fend off the Worm, or light it near your pardners for some fun!

The location of dynamite is at the mine, They're in the mine carts and they re spawn after 90 seconds





- Find the key to make the Choo Choo go!
The old train conductor got eaten up! It's up to ya'll to find his bones and retrieve the key!

PARDNER TIP:
The key cannot be put in your inventory, but the worm cannot eat it.
So rowdy up your pardners and play some hot potato!




The key can be found by the train conductors bones.

Fuel is comprised of items you burn in the train's furnace to increase the fuel percentage.

Items will display their weight and fuel when you look at them.
Weight is indicated by a little bag. (we'll be using 'W' )
Fuel is indicated by a little flame.

Take Big Items with you!
They may not fit in your bag but they are worth the risk!

PARDNER TIP:
Go to Town to find some Barrels, they roll really well and might distract the Worm!
If you're a risky cowboy, try juggling some big items. The worm might catch you, but the payoff might just fuel the train!


Big items (stuff you can't bag) that are on the sand are always visible to the Worm. This is only for when they're touching the sand.

Last Pardner Standing!
When it's down to 1 Pardner VS The Worms, Ed the Hot air balloon Guy will come to the rescue!

Keep an eye out!
His balloon will randomly pick a safe spot to land (indicated by the big blue area).

PARDNER TIP:
The Worms don't know where Ed is, so be very careful and take your time!
Once you get there you still have to climb the ladder.

When your pardner gets Gobbled UP they drop a Heart Jar.
Make it to the Church and throw the jar into the Yellow Zone to revive your Pardners!





PARDNER TIP:
Ghosts can mark their heart jar with the [ ~ ] key (default to mark it).
Jars have a weight of 2, so Pardners with Backpacks can hold two in their bag and hold one in their hands. A true life saver!

There are no classes in this game but assigning roles can help you team out massively.
With a full team of people you can split up into different groups.

- 2 "Healers" (1 gathers fruit and the other revives people)
- 2 Gatherers (gather doodads)
- 1 Miners (Gathers dynamite and breaks traincars)
- 1 support (Helps with what needs doing)
- 1 Seeker (Looks for the train key)

Spreading your team out into dedicated roles will allow your team to be more efficient with your time. This will also allow you to spread out and accomplish goals in a way more confusing to the worm.

Fun fact!
Worm Town is based on a horror movie series named "Tremors".
On the Water Tower, Darwin is a reference to the original movie filmed in Australia.
Since you're here, that means you've chosen the path of terrorizing the remaining
townsfolk of Darwin.



So how do find and eat these fine tasting folk?
Simple!
Press [SHIFT] to dive between above and below the sand.
While you're underground red markers will appear when something moves on the sand.
The catch is, those markers do not signify between objects and players.



After the worm's ability has charged Press [Q] to activate it!
(The Dev has leaked a few new worm abilities, but for now there is only one)

The Roar ability will reveal nearby objects and players.
At Night it will reveal players from across the map!

When a pardner has escaped from the worm they will cause damage to you forcing you underground. You constantly heal underground thought this affect speeds up the farther you go from the point of capture.
