Gameplay

Weapons

Numerous weapons are at the player’s disposal including dynamite, bazooka, baseball bat, teleportation, fire punch, kamikaze, melon bomb, Hellish Grenade, and many other weapons. The weapons set is customizable through the settings menu allowing you to choose which weapons are available and how many you get. Most weapons cause explosions that deform the terrain, removing circular chunks. The weapons also cause a certain range of damage to hedgehogs based on the weapon used and how it hits the hedgehog.

The damage dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after an opponent’s turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield has ceased – in newer versions there is an option for enabling alternative, immediate, damage display though.

Landscape

The landscape is an island floating on a body of water, or a restricted cave with water at the bottom. Starting with 0.9.10 the auto-generated maps can be changed in size or be made into a cave or “wacky” map.

Additional to auto-generated, themed maps, there are also drawn maps available.

Hedgehogs

The teams are composed of customizable pink hedgehogs. They can be customized with different voices, gravestones, forts, and hats. Hats are images used to change the appearance of the hedgehog. The names of the individual hedgehogs and team names can be changed as well. A hedgehog dies when it enters the water, it is thrown off either side of the arena or when its health is reduced to zero.

Game Modes

Several players can play against together, typically each one using one team. Four game modes currently exist. The game can be played in tutorial mode, against an AI team, against someone else on the same computer or online if every player uses the same version of the game.
