[Effing Worms 2]

@pangtongshu
The game isn't meant to be difficult, the way I see it. It's meant to be a good laugh, destroying everything as a giant worm. It's not meant to challenge the player, it's meant to be simple, easy fun. And the upgrades also reflect that - Why would I just want to increase speed/health every time, when I can get frikkin' blood claws, spikes and vacuums - it's all about ridiculous fun.

I think this one was far more fun than the first, a great improvement. Also, the upgrades made visible differences, so I could SEE my worm becoming better and more powerful. The controls seemed fine to me too, with the unwieldiness of them towards the end being not only reasonable, but expected and executed well. I enjoyed this game from start to finish, and will likely play again to choose an alternate evolutionary path.

5/5 Stars

Awesome

Truly brilliant, it's like playing out an epic action movie most of the time. Me and my mate had loads of fun before he got bored of losing (;P) so I went on to the stage mode.

Really difficult, but always in a fun way. The last level was a beast, but I was enjoying myself throughout, and to difficulty only made a win that much sweeter.

I would have liked to have seen more maps/weapons, but what was there was great as is, but only four maps was a little disappointing. Online multiplayer would have made this perfect, but I realise how difficult/expensive that could be, so I won't complain about that. Though it's no fault of yours, keyboard sharing can get a bit awkward, especially on a laptop. But it was fun regardless.

In conclusion, an amazing game that I feel certain I'll be coming back to, congrats on making such a masterpiece! If online multiplayer was included along with a couple of extra maps, this would be perfect.

Graphics - 09/10 --- Nothing special, but fits the game so well, and I do really love this style.

Sounds - 09/10 --- The music never seems to get repetitive at all, as it is subtle enough not to, but still adds to the game. Also, the guns sounded like guns. That's a plus.

Gameplay - 10/10 --- The difficulty makes a win feel amazing, and the action is consistently movie-like.

Overall - 9/10 --- An online mode and a couple of extra maps would have pushed this to a 10, but as it is now, I'd give it a 9 and settle for saying it's one of the best online games I've played in a long time. Thanks.

I AM.

That really was amazing, I loved the presentation and the puzzles, while not overly difficult, were all interesting. And to Moschinius, obviously you didn't like the story if you didn't read the files - At least put some effort in before you say something's crap, because I loved it, read every file I discovered and found the story to be amazing.

Great work on this game, 5/5, 10/10

Exeptional

Most times when I listen to a song I find myself liking it, but thinking of how I'd like it to be a little different here or there. I have not thought this throughout ANY of your songs, and they are emotional roller-coasters to listen to! I cannot wait for the release of your non-Christmas album and will be picking it up as soon as I can. Your music is truly amazing, keep up the great work :3

10/10

Amazing

Beautifully haunting - The game wouldn't have been half as good without this playing in the background. So thought provoking, ten out of ten from me. I can't find a single flaw with this song - The lyrics, the music, the voice, it's all perfect.
