Hedgewars - Coming soon to iPhone/iTouch

[Emir S.]

I guess this looks much more fun to us "older" folk here.
I grew up playing Scorched Earth and generaly C64 and Attari console games.
Loved Worms and "Directors Cut" from day one back in 95, 96 on Amiga and have loved it ever since.

Having a worms "style" game on my iPhone is something I can't even think about complaining about.

it's sad that people want and need 3d and high end special effects just to consider a game noteworthy.

Hedgewars runs on linux, pcs, and soon the iphone, it's open source (someone can do a mac port if they like?), it's themeable, contains less prebuilt maps but it also contains random generated maps, something wormux does not.

Apart from that, I suggest you actually download both and play them side by side, the gameplay is vastly different, and it baffles me that you can call hedgewars a "poorly made clone" in comparison to wormux.

Wormux is a great project, but right now it has a huge plethora of gameplay issues - that for me, make the game literally unplayable.

Whilst hedgewars still contains some bugs in its frontend (its a beta after all) the actual engine/gameplay are very very well polished, and I commend our coders for that.

@auburnguy32 - you are right it is a slow game..well kinda, its a turn based game so everyone takes turns.

@budm - instead of being negative, why dont you try and code a game, the OP said he was a 3D artist not 2D.




It amazes me how everyone wants to add their negative feedback. I would suggest the next time you want to bash it, try making one yourself. Or offer constructive criticism, or even help.
