WORMUX(6)

NAME
Wormux - A convivial mass murder game.

SYNOPSIS
Wormux

DESCRIPTION

Have the mascots of your favorite free software battle in the Wormux arena. Using dynamite, grenades, baseball bat and others weapons... exterminate your opponent in a 2D toon style scenery and a funny environment.

Each player (2 minimum, on the same PC) controls the team of his choice (tux, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversary using more or less casual weapons.

Although a minimum of strategy is required to vanquish, Wormux is pre-eminently a "convivial mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each member of each team attempts to produce a maximum of damage to his opponents.
