    I 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.

    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)

    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

    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.

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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€).

    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

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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,…

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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…

    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)

    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…

    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…

    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.

    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…

    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.
