Hedgewars is one of the funniest and most addictive game you'll ever play - hilarious fun that you can enjoy anywhere, anytime.
Hedgewars is a turn based strategy game but the real buzz is from watching the devastation caused by those pesky hedgehogs with those fantastic weapons - sneaky little blighters with a bad attitude!
Each player controls a team of several hedgehogs. During the course of the game, players take turns with one of their hedgehogs. They then use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill the opponents' hedgehogs, thereby winning the game.
Hedgehogs may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking and jumping but also by using particular tools such as the "Rope" or "Parachute", to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn is time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with excessive thinking or moving.
A large variety of tools and weapons are available for players during the game: Grenade, Desert Eagle, Fire Punch, Baseball Bat, Cluster Bomb, Bazooka, UFO, Shotgun, Dynamite, Mine, Rope, Pneumatic pick, Parachute. Most weapons, when used, cause explosion
The landscape is an island floating on a body of water, or a restricted cave with water at the bottom.
A hedgehog dies when it enters the water (either by falling off the island, or through a hole in the bottom of it), it is thrown off either side of the arena or when its health is reduced, typically from contact with explosions, to zero (the damage dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after a player's or CPU turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield has ceased).
