HI Big Grin

I've just discovered this game, as an all time fan of worm games I found it amazing!! The app is windowed friendly, has interesting options of personalization in it, and plays like it should, really FUN. However, as I said before, as a fan of worm games, I detected some things that this game lacks, and if implemented, will make this game even better than the upcoming Worms 2 Armaggeddon for PC..

1. Team Stats: You see, there is not clue of how many HG my team has killed, or team loses, victories, etc.. they should appear at least when you click your team to edit it, so you could see your stats anytime. Also, in Worms, when you played a local game, your team earned points according to its performance in battle, and the points were displayed next to your team name each time you set up a local game... Dont take me wrong, its a blast to play this game, but it will be even better with stats. its fun to play, but its more fun when you earn something Big Grin.

2. Walking sounds: This is something. when you hear your steps over the land, you know that you are really there. HW really needs walking sounds or some kind of feddback that tells your minions are in fact walking over the battlefield, and not just hovering over it, like a gif floating over another gif or something XD.... its an immersion need.

3. emm... Skin colors!!: Well, this is not a huge need at all, but, I really want this game to be better, because its a huge effort to make a game, but you are doing it for free!! so, if you achieve to offer the same thing that the game companies are selling to us (and take a loooooooooooong time to release) you'll be teaching a lesson to those people with the money.....
back into point 3, i'm talking of skin color hats aside, like in the upcoming worms game. So you can choose a skin color for your team, and then hats. That plus team stats (and flags, battle comments, more animation, and all the stuff you have in TO DO list), will make this game shine in personalization and playability...

Nice suggestions, devs will read them.

Btw, if you wanna see stuff like walking sounds come to reality faster, create or find a free sample that could be used and send it in Smile

Team stats is an ongoing argument. Personally I think will encourage cheating, but so long as I can opt out of it, I don't care much. Anyway, Tiy has been pushing for it for like, oh, past 6 months, so I imagine it'll get implemented eventually.

Walking sounds... meh. Although does have some potential humour value, I think the novelty would wear off quickly.

Skin colours has come up before. I think it is safe to say it will not be implemented.

Well, about, stats, cheating should be a personal thing, because only you are able to see your team stats, so you'll be cheating to yourself :P . I was talking about team stats, no multiplayer ranks or anything related to the way other players see you.

And walking sounds are never meant to be a novelty or super feature, in fact, some people did never noticed that it's missing. Its a really basic thing (and i'm not meaning it's easy to implement), the same as team stats... those are things that makes a game feel polished....

Skin colors are debatable though, its not needed at all, but it would be cool Big Grin .... and a BLOOD option!!! YEAH :P

Walking sound will be implemented eventually. We have no "sound guy" right now.

Stats are a possibility, though we are focusing on other things at the moment. You're more likely to see multiplayer stats before team stats. We're going to hopefully add a nice XP system.

Skin colours won't happen, there are lots of reasons not to enable this
