60 of 179 · most liked firstI don't care how bad this game actually is now. This was my childhood and holy sh!t was it good to see the title screen back. If you don't care about gameplay and just want to feel the nostalgia, I 100% recommend it. As for those who look to engage into the Worms franchise with this one, do not. Just. Don't. Go play the classic 2D games, those are hell of a ride.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10 years on steam and the game still crashes after the puzzle level "Avoid the snake" - the developer ignores it the whole time - shame on you team17 (I'd like to write something else but it would be censored)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if you have a partner to play with. Gf and me are having lots of fun with different levels in game. Recommended for some casual gaming!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poor console port, do not buy crashes consistently 2-3 levels into the puzzle mode highest res is 1024x768 no mouse navigation in menus this would probably run better on an emulator
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great spin on the Puzzle Bobble formula, with interesting single-player challenges and a cracking multiplayer mode. A pity it doesn't have online play, though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Blast is not the typical Team 17 Worms game, this is a purely puzzle game in which generally what you have to do is shoot the color that you want to clear and to do so you simply have to match them. The best thing about the game for me, without a doubt, is the multiplayer mode. It is a game that can be played alone perfectly, it has a campaign with more than 20 different stages to go through, and the cool thing is that each one is a different challenge, even though the base mechanics are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think as a spin off game this game can very adicting to play! its fast paced and lots of familar weapons hope you guys feel the same i know this is short but thats all i can say well the puzzle mode is a bit too hard for my taste seriously its seems like this was made by satan! But i give this game a 7/10 yeas i know i ranked this higher than worms 1 but sry guys thats just how i feel with this. This games graphics are fantastic as well as the music very catchy! but i do reccomend this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can not really recommend this game. This game is not exactly made for single player. Of course, you can play on your own here but I thought the fun factor of this game was much higher with a friend playing the game on same PC. About controls, I think this game benefit better with a gamepad rather than keyboard which was what I was playing with. I have this game in my library from the Worms' humble bundle. I think this game in the series was quite underwhelming compare to other games…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Game, I wish there are multiplayer mode
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not that bad like many of the reviews say it is, but it's definitely not worth the money it's being sold for. For a dollar or two there might be a target demography who would buy it and love it. I can't recommend it for the current price (7,99€).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty much the worst game in the series.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →People really glance past Worms Blast when it's actually a really good game (even though it's not even slightly a worms game). Very fun interactive vs split screen. The character art is also likely a subconcious influence of mine XD
unlabelledView post →Max resolution is 1024x... and if you switch to windows, it crashes. Also it is pretty annoying to control. I did not went even through the tutorial. Luckily I got this game with a bundle, where I wanted different worms games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While not all of the gameplay is captivating, I honestly enjoyed the battle mode as much as I enjoy multiplayer "Bust-A-Move," and that is a high compliment indeed. Has its fun and addicting moments, although it is hampered by uneven level design, loose control, and a confusing menu scheme. I found myself really disappointed by this unwelcome shift away from the giddy worm-versus-worm combat of earlier games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🔵 Requires light tinkering Game doesn't have controller support. Use community control layout from Mayhem: steam://controllerconfig/70650/2815774966 (Cog icon>Manage>Controller layout>Browse Community Layouts>Community Layouts) Tested on: OnexPlayer Mini Pro 6800U [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42772030-Handheld-Friendly/] Follow Handheld Friendly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are hundreds of similar casual games all over the Internet, for free. Also, I don't think this one is particularly interesting or entertaining.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Classic, immortal, beautiful
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a boring and generic old match 4 style puzzle game that has really nothing redeeming about it to bother spending time or money here. I got this game with a humble bundle for $1, but I'm shocked to see that the developer wants almost $9 CDN for this title on the store page. This game came out in 2002 according to the store page and it really shows it's age here. There are very limited visual settings and gameplay options. The graphics are decent for such an old title, but the gameplay is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Frozen Bubble with Worms theme. Didn't catch my attention...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a good game in here, and I think some of the challenges are quite fun and creative but they can be quite frustrating to do as you cannot use your mouse to control your aim. The default controls are also pretty poor, but thankfully you can rebind them. This game could use some updating, with support for a greater range of resolutions above 768p (at least 1080p!), and letting you aim with mouse. Simple changes like that would make this game infinitely more playable. At its current state,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Blast is like Worms 3D a fun idea but a really horrible execution. The controls are totally inaccurate and the fact that you have to place your worm before firing is just a huge pain in the butt.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An odd combination of Worms-style rocket launching with Puzzle Bobble (Bust-a-move) bubble popping, but with a mobile launcher platform. Not really fun in any way, unfortunately.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Er... Mediocre. This is a puzzle/arcade/bubble-shooter thing. The graphics are old. The music is OK. No story. No bugs or crashes. Runs fine on win 7. Now, the game is kinda frustrating. Old controls and mechanics. No mouse to aim. The challenges are varied but not fun to play. The game is casual but the design makes it unnecessarily hard to play. I think this is a mixed bag at best, but the masses can sleep calmly at night with this game missing from their collections.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Truly fun game in multiplayer but this is a very poor port, there are several glitches that make the deathmatch mode unplayable and the controller support has a lot of issues as well. I would never recommend this version, get the original instead or emulate it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still al game worth playing from time to time, and certainly not too easy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a awful, awful game, id rather play lost again :/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should you buy this? No, there are other similar, more modern games available. This has not aged well so, unless you are a die hard Worms games collector or something, avoid this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This seems kind of half-assed but not terrible. I could set SOME of the controls to my 360 controller but couldn't access the menu. It feels like it could be fun but I got frustrated on the 3rd level and don't really care enough to get through it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It keeps crashing after the snake level and nothing could fix that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn't even finish the tutorial before I gave up.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a lot like Bust-a-Move, except... I actually like it better? It's sadly lacking in anything more than a basic campaign and VS AI / 2P head-to-head option, and I guess the AI cheats blatantly and the attack pickups are unbalanced as all hell... but it's still a solid experience. Rather nice soundtrack, too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ah, the memories....so many good memories with this game. I totally recommend this if you're having some free time, the need for some light hearted fun and a relative/friend in the vicinity to play with (MP is local and optional btw). The game has an entire (and completely pointless) SP campaign, but if you want to have some real fun, you WON'T play it! XD Like I said before, it's a MP gem, nothing else.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game always crashed after the tutorial, but following this community guide helped fix the issue: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791723211 Worms Blast is another fun spinoff from the iconic Worms series, taking a puzzle-based direction. In this bubble shooter, you control a worm (or other character) in a boat, firing at colored bubbles or blocks in a grid. The goal is to match colors or clear obstacles before they reach you or the timer is up. Various weapons like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is not that fun for some reason. it is just a simple game nothing else, and the AI difficulty is way too hard. I think I must spend like 50 hours just to beat an AI in one match. Overall 4.5/10 I only recommend it to people who love childhood games. (my opinion)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Blast (2002) Right so this game is weird... like its a game without Worms but it has enough stuff in it to fool you into thinking it looks and somewhat acts like a Worms game. You sit in a boat and shoot some blocks above your head and you can move your boat side to side. You start with the iconic Worms Bazooka gun to shoot the blocks with. If you hit a block that is either the same colour as the bazooka, or is a rainbow block, that block and any other same-coloured or rainbow blocks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, I had a lot of fun with this game 15 years ago! Bust-A-Move improved! Gameplay hotseat, vs CPU and single player campaign are great! Warning! THE GAME DOESN'T WORK COMPLETELY - IT CRASHES. Try to play the Single Player campaign, and go north after the tutorial. When you finish a game of snake and collect some stars that are falling from the skies it crashes the game. ALWAYS. I tried contacting Team17 about this, they ignored my ticket. I have tried it after a clean Windows installation…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i dont understand why some people is so stupid this games is realy good every game got inspiration not exist originaly or very rare anyway i recomend this game for play solo and for play with a friend,GF,you dog,cat etc... oO dont look this bad reviews this game is awesorme i reocomend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are all Worms games this terrible? http://imgur.com/r64Yk6S
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Blast A puzzle game that's a bit Puzzle Bobble but using the aiming mechanics from the Worms games. It overcomplicates it far too much. (Read Full Review)
unlabelledView post →It is a BLAST to play. :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a blast playing with siblings on Christmass days.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much like the other games on Steam that are purely there for nostalgic reasons - runs like a quadriplegic on a downwards escalator and crashes a LOT. Can't even enter some levels without the game crashing to desktop. Save your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME CRASHES EVERY TIME I PLAY IT. I was excited to play this game again, as I havent played it since i was in school and it came with my gamecube. But it crashes so much I cant play it. FIX IT
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best multiplayer puzzle game ever. As far as you have a friend, who you can play split screen with.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms as a puzzle game? Surprisingly, it worked well here. This game's original concept and nice challenge make it really fun to play, especially with friend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →May as well MAME. Some games should be left in the drawer unless attention is paid to them to make them run fluid and faster. The controls are clunky and slow, making it frustrating and boring to play. The graphics are as bad as they look.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the game I played as a child. It is one of my favorite arcade style game. The second I saw it on sale I bought it. Highly reccomend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MOUSE NOT WORKING!!! Game is crashing as well. 0/10. Worst game I bought here in Steam. Uninstalled already. Waste of money. DO NOT BUY THIS!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's still, to this day, a freaking fantastic casual and fun little game. You can enjoy it solo vs. the AI, or with a buddy even sharing the same keyboard. There's also a puzzle mode with tons of challenges, plus some variety in the versus modes. It might require some minor troubleshooting, since apparently some puzzle levels crash the game. Overall, it's a small game totally worth the price, it might be outdated by modern standards, but is really fun to play in short bursts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Blast is one of the more unusual spin-offs in Team17’s long-running Worms franchise, swapping the iconic turn-based artillery battles for a real-time puzzle-shooter hybrid that feels equal parts chaotic, colorful, and mechanically quirky. Instead of guiding a team of worms across a destructible landscape, you pilot a single character in a tiny boat, drifting beneath a ceiling of multicolored blocks. Your task is to aim a bazooka—or a rotating arsenal of equally silly weapons—at the blocks…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update on my GameCube 100% challenge, finished Worms Blast the other week. 🐛 Whoever designed the last level can go to hell, otherwise this is a fairly decent puzzle game and very flash game-like. There's very little reason to consider this a 'Worms game' but it's still fun.

One of the few Tony Hawk games I haven't played yet and I'm very excited to see if it's as good as people have said. Very interested in how Worms plays as a puzzle game. www.twitch.tv/why_am_i_her...
unlabelledView post →this has to be the worst game i have ever paid for
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is definitely a bit underrated. It's not a game you are going to play for hours, but it's really fun for what it is, especially when you play it with a friend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't torture yourself and play the normal worms games...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its like if bubble witch didn't suck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG!!! this is my entire childhood and i still love this game. i just played this game with my cousin after years. i totally recomend this fakin game <3333
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had pretty low expectations for this game but it turned out to be quite fun now that I've tried it for the first time. It's probably even more fun with a friend in the local multiplayer mode.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →basically unplayable on windows 10, should not be on sale.
