Hi folks
You've probably noticed things have been quiet lately round here while we've been working on big plans for the coming months. Whilst there are some sizable new features nearing completion and a whole load of new items in the pipeline, we wanted to launch an update for you right now, so here it is...
Battles are now longer!
The Battle Timer is now 5 minutes instead of 3, to see how this plays out.
If your opponent quits during the battle, your Reinforcements are reimbursed as follows:
- Up to ¼ way through battle -> All 4 Reinforcements reimbursed to you
- Up to ½ way through battle -> 2 Reinforcements reimbursed to you
- Up to ¾ way through battle -> 1 Reinforcement reimbursed to you
- After ¾ way through battle -> 0 Reinforcements reimbursed to you
Speech Banks now available!
- Customize your team with the new 'Sarge' & 'Gangsta' speech banks!
- “Talk Torque” Achievement added.
- “Talk the Talk” Task added.
From now on, all new items in the shop are marked as “NEW” on the items themselves and on the respective menu tabs so you can easily spot new content, until you have clicked to view each item.
Friends Bar updated:
- The 3 different lists (Facebook Friends, Battle Buddies & Battle History) are now accessible via visible tabs instead of left & right arrows.
- The right-most slot is now a ‘Battle’ button (for Random Opponents) instead of Invite Friends.
Firing Range (‘Try Me’ feature in shop) now has destructible landscape, to show the full effect of each weapon.
Paying to unlock an item early now also gives you one of that item.
Tutorial updated (both for new players at the start of the game and for replaying from the Professor on the Friends Bar) – including ‘Training Progress’ bar, improved layout and (for new players at the start) coin reward animations.
Various bug fixes.
We’ll be back for more updates soon, so stayed tuned!

I have one thing to say: Game of the year award should go to this game! (Thanks for listening to us!)
Happy Worming!

Great update, however I don't really like the longer battle time. Sure at first it didn't seem much but as you played more and more 3 minutes were more than enough to destroy everything! with the proper weapons of course :p Please bring it back to 3 minutes :)

Plus, you had this feeling of major success when you managed to kill all four worms in under three minutes!

it's simple to find in the text.

The goal of Worms has always been to kill the opposing team, with three minutes this was very difficult and we also had numerous requests for longer battles.
If you were able to kill all the worms in under three minutes before anyway, then why would it matter if the battles were longer? Your game will still end in under three minutes :)

I know, but I've always thought of it as a battle against time as well! :cool:
