21st Century Worms: The Hedgehogs Have Taken Over

One of the best turn-based-strategy games ever made is Worms. In case you've never had the pleasure of playing one of the 23 iterations of the franchise, you take command of five or six small animated worms and try to blow the hell out of the opposing team with a ton of different weapons such as airstrikes, bazookas, or even a dragon punch. Hedgewars is free open-source software, released under GPL-v2 license that replaces the lovable nightcrawlers with hedgehogs — and it works beautifully.
