Worms Across Worlds

Familiarize yourself with movement, aiming, and weapon selection. Use the joystick or D-pad to move; short taps make small adjustments while holding gives larger movement. Aim with the right stick or by dragging; use the aim assist in campaign settings if you’re new. Always check wind direction and force before firing projectiles — these change each turn and can dramatically alter shot trajectories.

Campaign is split into 12 chapters across themed worlds (Crystal, Jelly, Origami, Crochet, Lava). Start each chapter by completing mission objectives — these will often introduce new mechanics and weapons. Tackle optional objectives to earn extra rewards and unlock practice arena content. Save checkpoints and revisit earlier levels with new weapons to find hidden collectibles.

Master classic Worms weapons: bazooka, shotgun, grenade, and the iconic Holy Hand Grenade. Use cluster or timed explosives for rooms with multiple enemies, and the ninja rope to position for precision shots. Environmental hazards (lava, crumbling terrain) can be used to your advantage — luring enemies toward them or using explosives to create new openings. Remember: projectile arcs are affected by wind and terrain height.

In couch co-op, coordinate roles: one player focuses on heavy weapons and terrain control while the other uses utility items to reposition teammates. Against AI, patience wins — bait enemies into unfavorable positions before committing powerful but risky weapons. Use practice arena to test combo strategies on AI before deploying them in campaign missions.

For up to 4-team matches, customize team colors and use alliances strategically. Prioritize isolating single enemy worms using combined fire. Use the environment — teleporters, trapdoors, and moving platforms — to create ambush points. When playing with friends, communicate to exploit weapon cooldowns and avoid friendly fire traps.

Campaign levels hide bonus objectives, collectible skins, and secret crates. Search behind terrain edges, inside destructible clusters, and revisit levels after unlocking mobility items. Completing chapters with higher scores or special objectives often grants cosmetic rewards and unlocks in the Practice Arena.

Use the Practice Arena to safely test new weapons, trajectories, and movement tactics without losing team members. This is ideal for mastering timing on explosion-based weapons and for practicing ninja rope maneuvers that are hard to pull off in the heat of multiplayer.

Learn to combine environmental destruction with weapon effects: for example, blow out a support column to drop enemies into hazard zones, then finish them with a precise jet-pack or grenade shot. Manage turn economy: preserve high-damage weapons for key moments and use cheap moves to reposition. Keep an eye on the leaderboard for daily challenges and rotating weapon modifiers.
