Winning is based on how many total damage points your team has left, and doesn’t go by the number of worms still in play. Matches will end when the timer runs out, regardless of whether you’ve taken out every opposing worm or not. The environments are highly destructible, which adds another layer of depth to the strategy in the game so be careful where you shoot, as you can dig yourself into a hole in no time! I was surprised at first to learn that each battle in Worms favors a “blitz” approach, like the more successful action games on Facebook. It’s also really fun to drag your mouse over Coins or EXP Stars that appear in the world and scoop them up, and zooming in or out on the game map has never been easier.Įach turn, you’ll have 30 seconds to move a worm into position and fire a Bazooka or lob a Grenade at one of your opponent’s worms. You can move your worms using either your keyboard or mouse, but both setups feel great, and the character animations are all incredibly fluid. The game’s funny cartoon graphics are as lively and vibrant as ever, and the island setting goes hand-in-hand with the widescreen treatment of your web browser (I’m particularly fond of the Hawaiin beach theme, myself). Leveling up in Worms will award you with everything from Worm Coins to items for your island, and even a new worm hat or two.
Visiting another island lets you help out a friend by clicking on five supply crates that fall around their island, which rewards both of you with Experience Stars. You can also customize your team of worms by dressing them up in funny hats, changing the look of their gravestones, and in true Worms fashion, renaming them to whatever you want. It’s actually a welcomed addition to the game, as you can decorate your island with various items and landmarks, and it serves as a great interface for seamlessly connecting with your Facebook friends. Since this is Team 17’s first step onto the Facebook gaming platform, a new social component has been introduced to Worms in the form of a central home island: which acts as a hub where you can take part in tasks, play challenges, shop in the store, or visit your friends’ islands. Now that the worms have inched their way onto the barracks of Facebook, will their addictive firefights hold up in the fast-paced social scene? Worms is a turn-based strategy game by Team 17, where you command a squad of war-hardened worms, and fight for control of, uh, whatever it is that worms go to war for. In case you’re new to the world of Worms, let me get you up to speed.
