Hedgewars is a turn based strategy, artillery, action and comedy game, featuring the antics of pink hedgehogs with attitude as they battle from the depths of hell to the depths of space.

As commander, it's your job to assemble your crack team of hedgehog soldiers and bring the war to your enemy.
Teams are composed of pink hedgehogs, which can be customized with different voices, gravestones, forts, and hats. Names of teams and individual hedgehogs can be changed as well.

Each hedgehog starts with a certain amount of hitpoints, which may be reduced with a variety of weapons. Hedgehogs die when they enter the water or their hitpoints are reduced to zero. Under normal game rules, a player wins when all hedgehogs on opposing teams have been eliminated, though it is possible to create custom rules.

Each player controls a team of several hedgehogs. During the course of the game, players take turns with one of their hedgehogs. They then use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill the opponents' hedgehogs, thereby winning the game. Hedgehogs may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking and jumping but also by using particular tools such as the "Rope" or "Parachute", to move to otherwise inaccessible areas.

Numerous weapons and utilities are at the player's disposal. Hedgewars includes artillery-genre classics (such as grenade, bazooka, shotgun), but also features a host of other weapons unique to it alone.[2] The weapon set is customizable through the settings menu, allowing players to choose which weapons are available, and in what quantities. Many weapons cause explosions that deform the terrain, removing circular chunks.

Weapons cause a range of damage to hedgehogs based on the weapon used and how hedgehogs are hit. Damage dealt to attacked hedgehogs is displayed when all movement on the battlefield has ceased. In newer versions there is also an option for an immediate damage display.

Explosives add another element to the gameplay. After planting or setting off an explosive, a hog has a certain amount of time to get away. This is sometimes a challenging problem in landscapes with hard-to-reach areas.

0.9.18 released! Wed, 10/31/2012
Happy Halloween everyone! AKA Hedgewars Birthday.
So it's been a while since the last release, so, quite a lot has accumulated.
Not everything that was planned has been completed, but hopefully future releases won't be a year apart so they should be added Soon®.
* Hedgewars now has a campaign! It should hopefully be expanded and interface polished in future releases. This was a GSoC project.
* Another GSoC project, video recording! Use the 'r' key to start/stop recording video. Video management is on the frontpage.
* PNG screenshots, to make sharing screenshots more convenient.
* What would a release be without new weapons? The meat cleaver is the latest addition. The harder you throw it, the more damage it does. Cleavers also work well for climbing or blocking entrances.
* The AI is now a lot more evil. Set it to maximum level to get the full effect. It knows how to use cake, sniper rifle and kamikaze, as well as aiming shots to drown hedgehogs or do fall damage. It has also gotten more effective at a number of existing weapons, and can move around the map more intelligently.
* Drawn maps now have variable pen width, and an eraser tool. Note that the eraser does increase the size of the drawn map network traffic, so don't use it as a substitute for undo.
* Static maps no longer have size limits. Please use this sanely, since not everyone has a machine with 16 gigs of memory like you do.
* New missions such as portal and rope training.
* Customised team colours!
