User Guide

The game screen is full of useful information - the following explains what it
all means!
COMMENTARY PANEL
A full commentary appears at the top of the screen, giving full details of which
Worm has been killed, whose move it is and which weapon has been selected.
TURN/ROUND TIME INDICATOR
Your Turn Time counts down at the bottom left of the screen. As an option, you
can also have the Round Time displayed here (for full details see the Game Options
section later in the manual). When it reaches zero, play passes to the next team.
The game will wait until everything has stopped moving (Mines, Worms etc) before
it considers the turn complete.
WIND BAR/BACKGROUND INCIDENTALS
There is a wind strength indicator at the bottom-right of the screen. The arrows
indicate the strength and direction of the wind. The incidental images in the
background also serve to give an indication of the wind direction, these can be
set with the INSERT key.
TEAM STATUS
The energy bars of each team playing are shown at the centre of the lower section
of the screen. Status bars are removed from the screen when a team's energy is
depleted and that team is knocked out.
WORM STATUS
Worm names, team name and energy values appear above each Worm.
UTILITIES
Enabled utilities (Double Damage, Crate Spy etc) will appear above the wind
indicator in a small box when they are in use.
