About Can of Wormholes
Can of Wormholes is a single‑player puzzle game where you control a tiny sentient tin can through more than one hundred hand‑crafted stages. Each stage introduces a single new interaction—push, slice, ingest, flip, or squish worms—so the player learns a fresh idea each time.
The stages are linked by an interactive overworld that also contains its own puzzles. Unlimited undos, restarts, and a built‑in hint system let you experiment without pressure, while optional mini‑stages isolate the key insight for each challenge.
01 / THE GUIDE
Puzzle Design Philosophy
Every stage focuses on one new mechanic, matching the developer’s description of exploring how far interactions between simple objects can be taken.
An optional mini‑stage accompanies each main puzzle, offering a separate area that isolates the core insight without adding filler content.
- Try the mini‑stage first to see the mechanic in isolation.
- Notice how later puzzles reuse earlier ideas in new contexts.

The game can be completed using only a keyboard or a gamepad on supported platforms; no mouse input, simultaneous key presses, or time‑critical actions are required.

Progress Management Features
Unlimited undos and restarts let you backtrack without penalty, encouraging trial and error.
A playable hint system provides optional assistance, and the game lists Steam Cloud support on Steam.
- Use undos liberally to test risky moves.
- Reserve hints for moments when you are truly stuck.

Overworld Structure
An interactive overworld connects all puzzle stages, acting as a hub that also contains its own set of puzzles.
Because the overworld itself is a puzzle space, it reinforces the game’s theme of interconnected interactions.
- Explore overworld puzzles early; they may introduce mechanics used later.
- Treat overworld challenges as practice for the main stages.
