The others include a Fire Punch, dynamite, airstrikes, and utilities such as ropes and girders. There are a lot of weapons available - the standard ones as bazookas (which are affected by the (random) wind settings and gravity) and grenades. Each turn, a worm can also make a single attack: the player can aim up and down, choose a weapon and then fire it. However, there is a time limit to make a move also, if the worm falls from a great height, it loses health and the turn ends immediately and if a worm falls into water or offscreen, it dies. The worm can crawl left and right or jump.
Each turn, the player can control one specific worm from his team. Upon death, a worm explodes, causing damage to everyone around. Each worm has 100 hitpoints and dies when his hit points fall to 0.
It features up to 4 teams of 4 worms, aiming to destroy the others on a generated terrain. Description Worms is a turn-based strategy game.
