Worms is a strategy game for the masses, featuring up to 4 teams of 4 worms, aiming to destroy the others on a generated terrain. They are armed with a wide range of weapons - the standard ones as bazookas (which is affected by (random) wind settings and gravity) and grenades (which are affected only by gravity), both of which can score up to 50 points of damage (default energy for each worm is 100). The others include a Fire Punch, dynamite, air strikes, and utilities such as ropes and girders.

There are 10 styles of terrain, ranging from forests and deserts to Candy land and the moon (complete with affected gravity). Shots leave craters in the ground, and complex tunnels can be formed. Play is turn-based, so each player must make their move and shot before time runs out - be careful to choose a sheltered area to leave the worm.
