"It's bunge time!"

when i first heard about this game, i could not stop being ignorant and bash this game without knowing its real charm. Simple, yet so addictive.

This game is addictive to say the least. For those who have played any of the Worms game, you'll find this to be almost identical. You have a bot and you can move around and shoot within the given moving power and limit on time.
Objective is simple: shoot down all opponents' bot down to 0 HP. When game reaches a certain amount of time sudden death will occur. There are a few different types of sudden death. For example; Double, Big bomb, double death, and a couple more.

Each bots have three attacks: 1-primary (little delay) 2- secondary ( average delay), and special shot (ss, not 55: lots of delay). delay is how long until your next turn. Each bot can carry items to use during combat.

This game also has special occurences, such as, wind change, lightning and most deadly of them all: Thor. But that's not all of them, there are plenty more.

Graphics is decent, not great, but it's not that important. Gameplay is the important issue, it's simple and addictive. Controls are easy: left and right to move, up and down to change angle. Space bar to shoot (hold it down for more power). There are two other types of shooting style, drag and sniper.

Sound is not all that important either, if you like it crank it up, if not then turn it off and pump up your own music. If i were to give a mark i'll give it a 7. It's not horrible but can and will get annoying after a while.

Oh yeah did i mention that this game is free? Well it is! go play it to death before they make us pay. Speaking of paying... you are allowed ''gold'' for certain events, You are awarded gold for each kill (100 gold), bunge shot (100 gold), and different types of shots. Did enough damage? 1000 perhaps, or even two or three thousand, you are allowed mad amount of gold.

Game points (GP) is awarded for each win, and amount of damage done to opponent. with enough GP you'll go up in rank. You start off as a chick, then make your way up the ladder. so better get cracking.

So stay on your butt, and go to www.gunbound.net and download this game and play it, live it, and breathe it. Ok not that extreme but get going!!! You never know when they'll start to make us pay.
