Feel free to make a new topic :)

EDIT: Written as Zyx suggested two rather similar games. See eMTe's link in next post.

I have nothing negative to say about this game. Lots of options, plays like Worms with a twist, great graphical side, option to build own team, fun for days, enemies you can choose how hard should be, and lots of different weapons that you should figure out how works. All in all a GREAT GAME!

Maybe we need a screenshot of this one.

Anyone trying this game next please post a screenie. I think the lack of a screenie is keeping a lot of people from playing this gem!

I'd really love to have a tutorial or at least good manual for this game. It's hard to figure out how to use certain weapons or how to do precise aiming.

Here's a screenshot:

Played it for some hours now and I have to say that it's a brilliant game! It's a bit hard to get into it as there is no tutorial or manual when you download the game, but when you understand the basic moves and rules it's great fun and very addictive. There's such a variety of weapons that you can hardly stop playing before you found out how to use any of them. And even then the game won't get boring, because there are several game modes and settings that will keep the game fresh and yourself occupied for a very long time.

Great gameplay, great design, great technical execution! Do yourself a favour and play this game!!!
