Game Concept And Play Summary

Overview
Worms World Party is a turn-based strategy game, where between 2 and 6teams (either HUMAN or CPU) can battle it out over bizarre randomly generated landscapes. Each team takes it in turn to pick off the opposing Worm teams, using crazy weapons and tools.

Worms die when they lose all of their energy or drown. The winning team is the one that manages to survive the mayhem and have the only Worm(s) left standing.

Turn-Based System
In WWP, players have a set time inwhich to make a move before the game automatically switches to the next player. During this period, you can select which Worm to use (unless you only have one!) and either let its arsenal loose on the enemy or move the Worm into safety.

Time
In addition to the time limit for each turn (an option that you can change in the full version), each battle has an overall time limit before “Sudden Death”extra time is called. In Sudden Death, all Worms have their energy reduced to one unit, meaning the slightest hit will make that vital kill and edge your team towards victory! There are a number of options you can change for "Sudden Death" in the full release, including having the water level gradually rise, making high territory even more strategic!

Randomly Generated Landscapes
Each time youplay the full version of WWP, the game will be different - guaranteed! Worms and mines are randomly placed on billions of possible landscapes, providing you with endless playing opportunities.

Worms And Weapons
Each team of Worms will have a huge arsenal of devastating weapons at their disposal; some of these will be limited in supply so you will have to use strategy to achieve maximum carnage!...
