The game is ready for launch, so why is it still in Beta? :p.

No, but realy the new update is realy great keep up the good work!

[ElBobbo]

Get testing then Piki!! It's not going live until everyone is happy with it! :)

[piki1802]

Tested it, and it's horrible! Realy that horrible I would eat a shoe! No just kidding the game is realy great and the phsysics realy inproved!

The new achievements are awesome and there came new kind of sort achievements which makes it interesting!

And you guys made the connection issue just fade away, it's zip now. Nada.

The lobby in the challenges menu is great, and love the new pause icon in offline play!

Keep up the good work!

Uuh, new achievements. These achievements made me laugh in positive way:

- Use the Fours - This is quite impossible to get and you have to have very good luck so every worm is at same range. I tried to kill 2 worms with Golden Bazooka for days and couldn't get even two worms so close each other (with hp low enough). This is going to be fun!
- It's Been a Long Streak - If I get even 10 win streak, I'll feel like champion, so this is gonna take some time.*
- Prod's Gift to Wormen - I have a confession to make. Every day I have bought one of every weapons that can be bought with coins and when I have the money, 10 of every weapons. That includes Prod's too, though I have thought it was ridiculous. It's not anymore! I have now about 40 Prods and was gonna stop collecting them after 100, but now they will come to use. :D
- 28 Worms Later - This made me LOL!

Other comments about achievements:

- Liking Champ achievement even if I'm only lvl 25 and leveling is hard already (I don't mind that).
- 2% of 20000 Leagues Order done, so any day now.
- The coins and cash achievements are great. Just used almost all my cash yesterday, so good timing. :D
- Water Way to Go - My most used way to kill worms, so this will be nice to get.
- "Hat kills". Nice!
- So many new achievements that you don't know where to start!

Other things:

- Challenge and Changing Room pages look both better than before.
- Pause is a good thing with Professor.
- Online games are working even for me with six years old computer, which runs on Vista.
- I love the task reminder on battle screens.

Yeah, this looks great. Good job! :)

Edit. * So now, after few hours after I wrote this post I should feel like champion, because I got the 10 win streak achievement just a moment ago. Well, actually I don't, but maybe later. :D

[Towelie]

Looks nice! hope it will wrk nice as well :D

Love the new achievements!
Love new task rewards (search and destroy, kill 14 worms, reward 1 homing missile ;))
Love how it looks :)

From the other side, its bit buggy, already had a bug this evening, after my turn, and I used dynamite to try to blast enemy worm into a water, but since terrain is now more slippery, it slide down and missed :\ Anyway, after that, game stucked and my other worm suddenly appeared on totally deferent location from were it was, it was bit in the air and started falling and showing up on that same "in the air" spot again and again and again, losing 1-3 hp every time till it eventually died.. Then game unstucked and it was opponents turn :) Was on work, so couldn't SS

And AI is bit improved, but still suck :P

P.S. Islands seems smaller? Also, Professors island is reseted :P

Well done,gentlemen. :D

[ElBobbo]

Thanks for the feedback guys, good to hear you're enjoying it! :)

[cirooo]

Finally the game works great,no more problems with creating the online game.
Physics is great especially with a bazooka :)

New achievements are great,I got the 50 win streak achievement just a moment ago ;)
Kill 3 enemy worms with one shot-very hard, kill 4 enemy worms with one shot-impossible

We want some new weapons :) the old winter are boring :p

Pozdrav za zemljake iz Srbije :)

[Towelie]

And you added all time stats? When? Nice! :D

[luisromano]

Great update! Most of bugs are gone! =P
The gameplay is great, and the pause button in the offline play is a great idea!
I just noticed one thing, sometimes the connection with a random online player is a little bit slow, taking some time between the turns, but nothing that affect the gameplay very much...
Another thing: sometimes I must click in the inventory several times, during online battles, for it to open, and the game is not stuck, the time is still running...today that happened and it made me lose one turn and one kill [was going to kick the worm into the water, but couldn't get the weapon I needed] ;/
I think that maybe could be a problem with server connection, but the problems in starting online games are gone! [at least until now, my trials are always connecting] =P
Great work with the game! Hope that a new theme with new weapons arrive soon! .-.
THANKS TEAM17!! :p:p:p
