Of course, the best way to play any Worms game is with someone else so they’ve included a “Hot Seat Multiplayer” mode to be played while passing the iPad between your friends. Challenges include a number of varieties on the theme of knocking your ball onto a target area, a time attack to blow up as many sheep as possible in the given time, and a skill shot mode where you… blow up as many sheep as possible in the given time but in a slightly different way. Each level has a set of challenges as well, leading to plenty of replay value. You can achieve a hole-in-one on every level once you’ve unlocked the correct power. Well, actually… if you do it right, you can. Each power is limited to 10 seconds in the level, so you can’t just float your way to the end. I’d be happier if I could switch between the different courses for variety but that doesn’t seem to be an option.Īs you progress through single-player career mode, you’ll gain coins and “utilities” like the ability to use a parachute to slow down and control your fall, anti-gravity to float over obstacles and so on. That doesn’t do it for me so being forced to play the same hole over and over becomes a bit of a chore. Where so many other iOS games give you a rating out of three stars, the pinnacle of achievement here is presumably to get a hole-in-one. Yes, yes, I know this is to give you a sense of accomplishment and progression and it’s just How Games Work but I do find it tedious. Rather annoyingly, you do need to finish each hole on par or better before unlocking the next. You also have Pirate Cavern, Graveyard and Carnival. All the screenshots here are from the Britannia theme. In true crazy golf style, you use cannons, mystery tunnels (or in this case, teleporters) and magnets to navigate each level and they get progressively more difficult. 4 golf courses with 18 holes each gives a very good length for the single-player career mode. Instead – as one would expect from a golf game – you hit your ball into the hole, amidst a host of environment hazards. You don’t spend your time trying to blow each other up. Worms Crazy Golf translates the physics and 2D setting of the traditional worm-killing franchise into a fantastic game on the iPad. The traditional Worms style is there but wrapped in a more (dare I say the word?) social setting. I lost an entire afternoon the first time I sat down with Worms Crazy Golf. Since them, Team 17 have been churning out the Worms games and you know what? They’re still great. Rather more offensive to Indian gamers perhaps, but it was always done with love. Ah, the hilarity when my worms would bungee off a cliff, rope securely wrapped around their little tails, and shout “Poppadom!” Worms 2 was even better with the addition of amazing voices like The Raj. Back at school I loved the original game.
