Woorms powerup guide
Make every pickup count.
A good pickup changes your next move. Learn what it does before you chase it into traffic.
What each powerup does
These base pickup values come from the same shared configuration as the game. They are points, not a promise of a fixed number of body segments.

Agility
+50 base pointsMakes your turns sharper, helping you change direction in tight spaces.
Vision
+50 base pointsExtends your visible area so you can see more of the nearby arena.
The magnet is directional
Short suction streaks flow into your worm's mouth while the magnet is active. This compact effect is not a range outline: the attraction area is a wider forward cone. It attracts both food and collectible powerups, not just food. Items behind you are outside the cone: steer toward a pickup instead of circling with your tail nearest to it. The ordinary food pickup radius has no permanent circle around your worm.
Duration and stacking
Timed effects normally add 30 seconds per pickup, up to 10 minutes. Watch the active-powerup display during your run rather than assuming an effect is still active.
Online and Practice are not identical here: speed lasts until death online, but is timed in Practice. In Practice, 10× and 15× use the 6× multiplier slot and refresh their timer instead of extending it. These are current mode differences, not paid upgrades.
Points become tail growth
Food and pickup points contribute to your score-driven growth. New length starts at the final existing tail point and unfolds as you move. Your radar will not lead you straight to powerups: it is a navigation and combat aid, not a resource scanner.
