V2.7 Jan 3, 2007 0:34:47 AM

A Worms / Scorched Earth style tank game.

Internet game server permanently offline due to a hard disk failure

~~No longer broken. Version 2.7 fixes graphical glitches~~ - Ok it's still broken and to be honest I don't know what's wrong with it. If someone wants to fix it, feel free.

New in 2.0! Online play! Just click "Play Online" and you can chat with other players and create/join games.

Other updates include a bit better AI and bug fixes.

2.7: Graphics glitches fixed, playable again. Also fixed bugs in hitchecking which was caused by the same bug as the graphical glitches.

2.6: Teleport works properly again.

2.5b: A problematic bug snuck in on 2.5 - Fixed.

2.5: 2 new weapons, you can now change map generator settings, added "shoot quotes" and explosions and a bugfix.

2.2c: Game width is set to max if your resolution is wide enough + some small fixes. If you have 2.2b, no need to redownload.

2.2b: Fixed AI tanks that still hovered sometimes and added a leave button to online lobby

2.2: Hovering tank bug fixed with a custom hit check - see below for notes

2.0b: Fixed sometimes missing online-game chat

Main features:

- Online play!

- 8 weapons

alright, this would be an interesting game, but first:

where are the tanks? it seems that the fire comes from the sky, and not from the ground.

what are the controls? i've pressed about every button, and nothing has happened.

An unfortunate hard disk crash took the internet game server permanently offline. Also lost was the only copy of the source code of the server, so it's *very* permanently offline.

this game is quite glitchy

Rejoice! Finally an update which fixes the graphics and hit check bugs, making the game playable again!

It seems a lot of widgets have that problem. I can't remember at the moment which but I tried 1 and had the same problem. So maybe it is something with the browser?

Hi.

This widget is buggy in Opera 9.20. If you want to play it, you must download an older release of Opera. I'm researching the source of the bug so hopefully I can fix it soon.

I dont know how this game work?? Really don't... Something really strange is happening with the terrain all the time - perhaps it is some bug?

Both single and online look like this... Hope you fix it soon!

By cbnstefan, # May 3, 2007 9:11:25 PM

Online play? Single play?

Both work for me, I tried. Although I know that the online game server has some bugs like "ghost" rooms but I have no reports of them causing any bugs related to shooting or such.

By zomg, # Mar 28, 2007 10:31:34 PM

hey, I tried playing the game today, but it seems a bit messed up when I try to shoot... whats up with that?

By gautam_chandna, # Mar 20, 2007 1:22:49 PM

I've been updating the server a bit... There was a bunch of american 13-year olds flooding and causing problems so I added some tools (kick and ban) for getting rid of them.

I banned a few of 'em but the banlist is empty again and I will periodically empty it so one mistake won't cost you your "life".

By zomg, # Mar 2, 2007 9:39:44 PM

It is possible to make them disappear, but that would quite likely slow down the game quite much... but I'm looking into it. One option would be to remove the explosions completely.

By zomg, # Feb 12, 2007 7:12:01 AM

This game is actually really fun. I'd look forward to seeing improvements such as penguinator's Bomber suggestion.

By snapfoo, # Feb 12, 2007 2:46:35 AM

The explosions from the bomber rounds stay there until the entire round is done firing - is there a way to make it more realistic and have the explosions dissapear immediately after hitting the ground?

By penguinator, # Jan 28, 2007 7:50:12 PM

Fixed!

By zomg, # Jan 27, 2007 9:31:43 AM

good job, the new weapons are cool ;]

EDIT: While I was playing w/ my friend, my friend shot a teleport round and it, instead of hitting the ground, passed through it to the bottom of the screen and made tiny holes in the "mountains."

EDIT EDIT: This bug seems to occur whenever teleport is used.

Thank GreyWyvern for the quotes, his review reminded me of them

By zomg, # Jan 25, 2007 7:50:04 AM

Your widget works flawlessly here, zomg.

It's cool with the explosions and the hit quotes

By rkm, # Jan 25, 2007 6:21:20 AM

If you see a bug tell me about it so I can fix it and stop complaining.

There are no bugs that I know of in the latest release.

Also, saying something like "yeah this one sucks" won't help in making this widget any better. Maybe you should describe the reasons why you don't like something so I can make it work better.
