iPhone Game ‘Death Worm’ Makes You Feel Like Bait

Death Worm [iTunes Link] was created by PlayCreek and is perfect for gamers with those midnight munchies for delectable human corpses. A couple months ago I reviewed Super Mega Worm and had so much fun with it that I decided to give Death Worm a round, or in my case many rounds!

This game packs a full course meal! First as an appetizer, we have animals such as birds, elephants and more.  Next for your entree you can choose between mindless pedestrians or police officers. Too light? How about Bazooka carrying Soldiers. Also as a side dish you can devour cars, trucks and other land vehicles. Finally for desert, we have a few different helicopters, planes or the ultimate surprise… UFO's!! Still hungry? Well you can choose between 3 different locations!

Through the magic of SSH, you can save your iOS game data on your computer in the event that you have to restore. Here's how to do it...
