QuickAdvice: Meet Squeezy - A Slithering Traveler With A License To Squeeze!

Squeezy ($0.99) by Bambalam is an alien filled adventure that takes place on several different planets. You play as a giant worm traveling from planet to planet collecting points and squeezing little aliens until they pop. How is this game new and different? Well for starters you can’t go up or down. You can only “slither” right or left, exactly how an actual worm would maneuver.

Each level starts out with your spacecraft landing on one of several planets, each planet becomes progressively harder. When you explore the environment you will find small bubbles of different colors, usually around a harmful object. The objective is to eat these bubbles without touching one of the harmful objects. If you do touch a harmful object, you will shrink in size. If you shrink too many times, you will die and the game will end. Eating small cabbage-like objects will increase your size. The size of your worm is an indicator of your health. The larger the worm, the more healthy it is. Once you eat enough cabbages your worm will become “large enough to squeeze!” Now your worm can squeeze the little aliens that bounce around the planets.

Since you can only slither right or left, if you hold down just one side you will spin in a tight circle. Spinning around an alien when you are “large enough to squeeze” will pop the alien. Once an alien pops, little orbs appear, you can collect these.

The little orbs fuel your rocket ship, allowing you to advance to the next level. Each level has a quota of colored orbs that must be collected to complete the level. There is also a time limit. You can collect orbs beyond the quota for extra points, likewise with the time. At the end of each level, the extra orbs and time you acquire determines the points you earn.

The game offers three planets, each with a number of exciting levels and adventure. Many players have reported difficulty using the controls; I found it pretty challenging as well. But, nobody really enjoys a game that is so easy that you can beat it in a couple of hours.

Overall, Squeezy is a unique and fun game, you just need to have the patience to master its controls.

Squeezy is available in the App Store now for $.99.
