HedgeWars
Hedgewars is a Worms-like turn based strategy game where the
real buzz is from
watching the devastation caused by pesky hedgehogs with
awesome weapons - sneaky little blighters with a bad attitude!
Each
player controls a team of several hedgehogs. During the course of the
game, players take turns with one of their hedgehogs. They then use
whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill the
opponents' hedgehogs, thereby winning the game. Hedgehogs may move
around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking and
jumping but also by using particular tools such as the "Rope" or
"Parachute", to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn is
time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with
excessive thinking or moving.
A large variety of tools and weapons are available for players
during the game. Most weapons, when
used, cause explosions that deform the terrain, removing circular
chunks.
The landscape is an island floating on a body of water, or a
restricted cave with water at the bottom. A hedgehog dies when it
enters the water (either by falling off the island, or through a hole
in the bottom of it), it is thrown off either side of the arena or when
its health is reduced, typically from contact with explosions, to zero
(the damage dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after a
player's or CPU turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield
has ceased).
