How Wyrmling works
Wyrmling is a grow-and-survive arcade game about guiding a hatchling dragon through a cavern. Each meal and treasure pickup extends the hoard-length, making the next turn more dangerous because your own tail becomes part of the maze.
The scoring pattern rewards clean routes more than reckless speed. Sheep and boar keep the run moving, treasure gives a higher-value target, and stone walls end a careless path immediately. As the dragon grows, leave yourself a loop through open space before chasing a pickup at the edge of the board.
This page is the renamed version of the old dragon-themed snake page. Wyrmling is a distinctive Mindcrew game name, and the game has no affiliation with any third-party role-playing game franchise.

FAQ
Why does the dragon get harder to steer?
Every pickup increases the moving body you must avoid. The challenge is planning a route that leaves enough open tiles for the next target.
