In the old days, half carry in some hitromudrym Japanese tank, our master, Ignat S. Pestrikov, wiping his workers elbow proletarian sweat, used to say: "Pokudova occur on the ground water closet – out of work, we will not stay. Normal water closet, he what? Proceeds on schedule – twice a month. But this is normal. Well, if he edript, runs three times a day, then it is not water closet already, but just shlyndoe <...> for some. Remember this, Sawa, and better write it down. " That's what I wrote.

Generally Ignat Semyonitch – a great man of worldly wisdom, and the specialist is five minutes of genius, but of him and his theory of flow water closet we will discuss it some other time and in another place ( For example, a couple of paragraphs later), yet we are not here, and quite a topical issue on computer games. About them, actually, and speech. So, the game – a system of laws. The system of laws governing gaming – a genre. Genre affiliation Worms Blast set is extremely difficult for two basic reasons. The first is called Bust-A-Move , and the second – Worms . A monstrous experiment by crossing these ideologically opposite of entertainment (the first non-permanent remind our readers, is the dashing "real-time"-puzzle game with multi-colored bubbles, and the second – turn-based tactics with reckless elements of arcade-violence) and generated by the light of this ugly mutant. Ugly, but only at first glance. In the second, third and even fourth opinions Worms Blast looks very nice carnival parsley, occupying a worthy place among such iconic entertainment, Fallout Tetris or Doom 2D .
Returning to the water closet: for all the nobility of ideas like a remake of the classic puzzle game in the classic surroundings of the same … hmm … strategarkady , Ignat Semyonitch this game would not have approved. And you know why? Leaking. Nightmare occurs. Of all the fountains flowing slots just is the most , with no signs of the laws. Certainly the details. The genius of Bust-A-Move was (and is) the common people in his unpretentious: his fall from the top combination of multi-colored bubbles at the bottom of the well, and two colors of poisonous dragon shpynyayut them from a stationary howitzers. Just as the tug of war, and exciting, like noughts and crosses. In Worms Blast the same developers, rejecting plain rustic cloning, come to grips with experiments on systems intruded sanitation: bottom "wells" filled with water, on which the local 'dragons' (of which also below) ride around in boats and yachts, and the fluid level is steadily increasing as the … Do you have a house someday clogged toilet? Seriously, is very similar.
Lower level a such sewage (honestly, honestly, he saw – and sheburshitsya them something … fecal ) is possible only with the help of super-prize, and sometimes drop out of the intricacies of descending below the bubbles. But the increase – simple. Remember the body, hurled into the water that sticks out on a lot of freedom vypertoy water body vpertogo amplitude? Physics, fifth grade, Archimedes' principle. Overshot randomly from howitzers of the bubbles and let the shell to the bottom, we will automatically increase the volume of water in the well, exactly on the mass of the ill-fated recessed faustpatrona.
sounds terrible, but in practice it looks exactly like this a miss – the water level rose. Second mistake – and that's already head rests on top of the bubbles were pressing, and there to geymovera close. For those wise men, which in the case of manifest failure of a sudden start guess projectile into the water and off the screen, the developers have in store openly radical a bonus in the form of sudden dive from the heavens three-chamber refrigerator "Absheron", beating painfully straight, sorry for the teapot.

Speaking of teapots. In order to diversify fifty-five boring mode "puzzle" and make some recovery in the "duel" matches, as the aforementioned "dragons" in Worms Blast favor of worms … Worms . More precisely, is not worms, but stylish, vysokopoligonalnye, fully three-dimensional (Think about it – because it, in fact, is those "worms three-te!") Ringed beast, made in an unforgettable manner "cartoonish 3D" in the manner of Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf or recently Woody Woodpecker . Get an unusual, but, oddly enough, very solid and very nice.
Of course, not worms united. Not forgotten are other people, so to speak, the universe, Worms . A lot of wonderful discoveries promise to study the manual. For example, a menacing character materyaschiysya squeaky voice, initially identified only as "hamster", is proving to be super-famous sheep. The other hero, for the double-decked barge of micro-and craft as a formidable Indian feather in the hat known as "pirate" – in fact, well camouflaged and not less famous trinitrotoluolovaya "grandmother" of all the same Worms . Such are the costs of three dimensions – must read "guide to the use of" do not be surprised if you suddenly find that in a past life kudahchuschy "penguin" was "pigeon", and suspicious-looking "Wolverine" – thoroughly fattened and grew claws polutorametrovy "skunk" .

Blast from the past
But enough of ritual dances around a new "worm" engine. Worms Blast – a game in every way worthy, but it kills again. Secondary ideas, secondary and even execution of the sacral secondary meaning inherent in the process of contemplation, planning slowly to the bottom and admitting abundant bubbles worms. Do not save the situation even some common sewer background of the whole action genre, and a few innovations like dueling system of bonuses and 5000 + levels terribly boring single "puzzles." There is pressure, there is excitement, there's fun … But no, I'm sorry, romantizmu .
just a good running start before the start of the next series of classic " Worms ", test the new technology or test ranges. In similar cases, tours of the city's Golden Ring tour guides at the walls of another wooden Kremlin politely warn: "Art has no value."
