The game uses an overhead, turn-based structure where each worm acts in sequence. On a turn, a worm can move, jump, climb, or use a weapon or utility item. Weapons such as shotguns, bazookas, homing missiles, and banana bombs are affected in different ways by distance and wind, so aiming matters. The terrain can be destroyed by explosions, and falling into water or off the map can instantly eliminate a worm. Matches continue until one side is wiped out.

Strategy
Hold high ground when possible and use cover to avoid exposing your team. Check wind before firing rockets or grenades, and favor close-range weapons when conditions are risky. Save mobility tools like ropes and parachutes for escape routes and for reaching strong positions. For high damage, use explosives to collapse terrain around clustered enemies.

Tips and tricks
- Save powerful explosives for clustered enemies or low ground where terrain collapse can multiply damage.
- When the wind is strong, switch to short-range weapons to reduce costly misses.
- Leaving one worm near an edge can bait opponents into wasting high-damage attacks.
