I love this game! It has a fairly competent AI, unlike most Worms clones I’ve encountered, and seems in fact to be comparable to the actual Worms AI (including nightmarishly accurate bazooka shots and complete inability to use ropes, unfortunately), though the most exciting things seem to be upcoming, including original weapons and, uh, hats! Hopefully the online component will become more popular — I actually got into an online game one evening, but just once.
In short: This game gets infinitely better with every release. Keep an eye on it!

Great job on this!, it plays just like, if not better than, Worms.
I played my brother over the home network without a problem and we are both addicted.
Great fun!

Note to Tiyuri: I will try out this game soon, and I must say, for creating the graphics from scratch, it looks almost 100% identical to Worms graphics!

I can’t believe you did it all from scratch, so I am giving you my props.

Keep up the good work!

Hello,

@ Bassem, I’m the graphics artist on Hedgewars, there is not a single graphics from worms in the game, I draw absolutely everything from scratch, I don’t even modify worms graphics. But I take it as a compliment that you confuse the two, as this is the first time I’ve worked on a 2D game.

@ the reviewer, thank you for the nice review. As for the right click menu, it’s completely responsive here and I’m yet to hear another of our users complain of this, maybe we can work out why it happens for you? Also, the weapons that you dont currently have access too are displayed in your weapons menu, that’s true, but they are greyed out and have an icon in front of them indicating how many turns it will take until they are usable.

Wow, most of the artwork seems to be ripped right out of Worms. I’d rather stick with the original!
