Team17's battling invertebrates hunger for the blood of a billion Facebook users. The original Lumbricus terrestris-based trajectory shooter is going social, and it craves your beta testing prowess.
With bite-sized real-time multiplayer battles, weapons drawn from the span of the series' 17-year history and an array of stylish hats, Worms for Facebook is a different sort of social gaming animal. Should you find yourself online with your friends at the same time, you can challenge them to a one-on-one battle to the death, pitting your squad of four worms against theirs. If they are offline you can battle their automated defense force.
You can rename your Worm Totilo, if you so choose.
But no one will see your Totilo worm if you don't sign up for the closed beta.
Join me, and together we will... well, one of us will lose. It could be you!
Remember Worms? That great old PC action game that's been released and remade quite a few times over the past couple of decades?
It's coming to Facebook, and you can apply for the beta right here.
After spending the past 17 years trying to kill them it's a lovely change of pace to be able to cuddle them. Team17 has just launched a new line of plushies based on one of the most adorable war game franchises ever, Worms.
With such iconic character designs it's a wonder we haven't been buried in Worms merchandise before now. This latest group of stuffed invertebrates not only features worms in plain, commando, and pirate flavors, it also includes the adorable Super Sheep. Who doesn't less than three the Super Sheep?
All four plushies are now available for purchase at GameOn Stuff's Facebook store for £8 (about $12) each, with keychain versions available for £5 ($7.50). They ship from the UK, so be sure to account for shipping time. Hopefully they won't just drop them near your home in a giant crate and make you crawl to it.
