Worms: A Space Oddity

Worms: A Space Oddity is a turn based artillery game for the Nintendo Wii. The game was announced on August 30th 2007 and released on March 18th 2008 in North America, with other regions following shortly afterwards.

Gameplay
A Space Oddity is the latest in the long running Worms series of video games, and uses gesture based controls which allow players to launch various attacks. The game is rendered in 2D.

A Space Oddity is set in space itself, with the usual arsenal of weapons being updated to suit. There are 6 themes included, namely Cavernia, Tenticlia, Frostal, Kaputzol, Mechanopolis and Earth. The worms are customizable in terms of skin color and helmet style, as in Worms Open Warfare 2.

Development
When Worms: A Space Oddity first was announced, it was going to have Wi-Fi connection and even downloadable content. Team17 then later scrapped the idea of network play, with the publisher stating that it would be better if the players were able to taunt each other and play face-to-face.
