Hedgewars

Hedgewars is a free and open-source turn-based artillery strategy video game. It is heavily inspired by the Worms series of games, particularly Worms 2. In Hedgewars, players control a team of hedgehogs who battle against opposing teams of hedgehogs in a destructible 2D landscape. The objective is typically to eliminate all enemy hedgehogs.

Gameplay involves using a wide variety of weapons, ranging from standard firearms to explosive projectiles and even fantastical items. Each hedgehog has a set amount of health and can move a limited distance per turn. Players take turns controlling their hedgehogs, aiming and firing weapons at the enemy. The physics engine plays a crucial role, with wind, gravity, and projectile trajectories affecting the outcome of attacks.

Hedgewars features extensive customization options. Players can create their own teams, choose hedgehog appearances, and design maps. The game also supports online multiplayer, allowing players to compete against each other worldwide. It can be played on various platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The game is developed by the Hedgewars team and is available under the GNU General Public License. Its ongoing development and community support contribute to its longevity.
