Worms Breakout's name says it all. It's a breakout game set in the world of Team17's Worms. If you think all breakout games are the same, well let this prove your wrong. Try it and immidiatly get addicted. Get fun bonuses, destroy those bricks with all those loved weapons you know from Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, and Worms World Party. Play your way through two game worlds full of challanging levels, not those boring easy ones. There's new stuff in every level!

Special Features:

- Amazing Breakout experience, Based on the settings of Team17's popular Worms game series
- 20 different, challenging levels
- Seven different kinds of weapons, taken from the "Worms" series
- Variety of utility bonuses to pick up during the game

This is how to do a paddle game. No crappy random bounces here, just DX-Ball style bounces, where the angle the ball leaves depends on where it hits the paddle. Powerups and weapons make it fun, too.

Wow, this is probably the best breakout game I've ever played (sorry Wong Chung Bang). This is very fun!

great idea, although it's a bit of a pain to bash the number keys to find the right weapon (you could add some labels maybe)

Awsome, perfect way to mix worms with breakout I think. Thought it would be nice if u could swich weapons with the Key Pad too, because I'm not used to using the numbers at the top of the letters, so that makes the game harder for me. Anyway, great game!

I played this about 3 years ago I think. It's pretty fun I guess.

This is great! :D The only thing I would recommend is an inventory at the bottom of the screen that shows what weapons you have.

...Let me rephrase that. You should put numbers next to the weapons (1, 2, 3, etc.) that show you which key to press. Or, you should be able to pause the game to select your weapon (make all the blocks invisible while it's paused).

Not bad, especially for TGF. Having played many breakout games thoughout my life, this one has a nice 'originality' to it. The physics still leave much to be desired though. The direction the ball leaves the paddle seems to do solely with where it hits the paddle, without taking enough consideration of its initial direction or the speeds of either the ball or paddle. The bounce off of bricks is a bit annoying (especially at the beginning of a level when they are too close to get a good start). It might just be the way the shapes collide, but it doesn't feel right to me. The weapons need to do more. They are what sets this apart from most breakout games, yet they don't appear to do much (other than create fancy explosions). If you want to keep the system of some weapons doing more damage, there needs to be a way of indicating how damaged a particular block is (opacity, color, cracked, etc). The non-projectile weapons (esp shotgun) could also use a targeter. Above all- where's my score? The strength of arcade games is striving to beat a high score- either a personal best, another's best, or both. Sorry if I seem overly critical. Again, this is great work especially for TGF. There's just a lot of potential in the game.

I don't get why everyone says a great job was done with ripping. All you have to do is open zeb with TGF and either make it into a library, or you can just pick objects from it. It isn't really that amazing to rip graphics from an open source game.
