What the heck is WormBlast?

In WormBlast, a total of 8 worms (1-2 human players) are trying to gain as high score as possible by shooting at other worms and collecting different objects like body pieces that have been cut off. New guns and ammunition can be collected as well. The game area is scrolling and has no boundaries. The worm with the highest score wins.

Actually WormBlast is a decent remake of Parawormer 2 (MS DOS) dating back to 1998 and it has been serving as a learning project and a test bench for different technologies.

📕 Description [fr]

Un remake du jeu Parawormer II, un jeu d'action violent mettant en scène des worms, par Jussi Lind & Johanna Peltola.

WormBlast est un remake mono (IA) et multijoueur (jusqu'à 2 contre 6 IAs) du jeu Parawormer II.
L'objectif du jeu est de remporter le plus de points en collectant des objets et en éliminant d'autres vers.

Un vers est coupé si l'un de ses anneaux se voit infligé suffisament de dégâts. Les anneaux des vers adverses peuvent être collectés et aglomérés à votre corps. Si la longueur d'un vers descend sous les 3 anneaux, il meurt. L'indicateur de l'état de santé de la tête du vers est également à surveiller : lorsqu'il tombe à zéro, c'est la mort instantanée.

Les Bananes recueillies augmentent la santé et réparent les anneaux endommagés. D'autres fruits augmentent le score du joueur. La bouteille de vin augmente les défenses, tandis que la boîte en bois ajoute des munitions à l'arme actuelle.

Toutes les armes ont approximativement la même puissance, néanmoins elles se comportent différemment et sont plus ou moins bien adaptées aux situations.
Le vers ayant le score le plus élevé en fin de partie gagne.
