One of my favourite coffee-breaks, but I'm unsure about status; I discovered it long time ago and it's dos game. But most likely freeware.
Goal is to navigate the worm through randomly generated dungeon. This is one switch game - pressing spacebar makes worm rise and releasing it makes worm dive. Addictive.

Screenshot Pilot cannot (?) make screenshots from dos games unfortunately and those available in web are mostly of forum avatar size. :/ Go grab them yourselves.

An amazing coffeebreak casual game. Maybe the best we have in one-key genre. I really loved this after playing for seconds. I will propably keep this around.

Re: Urthwurm
Hmm, game is a bit out-dated I think. It's a nice concept, but it's also very simple and there's not much gameplay in it. I also had a little problem to play the game right. When I played it using Windows XP, it reacted a little sluggish to my key commands and so I crashed into the ceiling or the floor several times even if I gave the right command. When I used DosBox t reacted better, but the whole game was a little slow and was very easy because of that.
But it's impressing to see that games with 17kb can still be fun.

A good and simple game. It doesn't manage to get your adrenaline going. But can be a nice alternative to minesweeper or solitaire.
