Worms is a military game. Explore the sinister side of nature as you control a troop
of armed-up, never-say-die Worms in an arcade-strategy extravaganza. Use shotguns,
Bazookas, Homing missiles and Banana Bombs in your bid for survival and the ultimate
accolade...Victory!
Worms is a strategy game for the masses, featuring up to 4 teams of 4 worms, aiming to destroy
the others on a generated terrain. They are armed with a wide range of weapons -
the standard ones as bazookas (which is affected by (random) wind settings and gravity)
and grenades (which are affected only by gravity), both of which can score up to 50
points of damage (default energy for each worm is 100). The others include a Fire
Punch, dynamite, air strikes, and utilities such as ropes and girders.
The weapons in the game range from generic stuff like shotguns to much more original and
interesting tools of destruction such as exploding sheep and dragon punches.
Each worm has a set amount of health and when that runs out you will lose that worm.
Once you lose all your team of worms you will lose the match.
On the levels there are other ways to die as well. The most obvious is the water.
On the bottom of every level is water, and if one of your worms falls in it will
die instantly. Another way to damage a worm and even kill a worm is by falling
from a long distance. There are quite a few levels, all with different kinds of
layouts and scenery. There are 10 styles of terrain, ranging from forests and
deserts to Candy land and the moon (complete with affected gravity).
Shots leave craters in the ground, and complex tunnels can be formed.
Play is turn-based, so each player must make their move and shot before
time runs out - be careful to choose a sheltered area to leave the worm.
