* AntiFrustrationFeature: At the end of every turn, a "despeckling" algorithm removes any pieces of solid land that are too small to be easily visible. No more being prevented from jumping somewhere by a few pixels of undestroyed ground that the player didn't notice.


* EdibleAmmunition: The Watermelon Bomb acts much like the Banana Bomb of {{VideoGame/Worms}}, the Old Limburger is so old it's [[StandardStatusEffects poisonous]] to those near it, and the cake acts as wall-crawling dynamite.

* FeatheredFiend: When the Birdy weapon is activated, a relatively large bird swoops onto the battlefield and grabs the hog who summoned it. At that point, the Birdy can be controlled like the Flying Saucer below, but instead of the ability to move underwater, the Birdy can drop [[StandardStatusEffects poisonous rotten eggs]] on hogs below it.

* BoringButPractical: Bazookas, Grenades and Shoryukens, like in VideoGame/{{Worms}}, all serve as perfectly reasonable weapons in many circumstances.



* HammeredIntoTheGround: Mallets. Hitting a hog with one while he's close to water will probably make him sink right through and into water.

* PercentDamageAttack: The Hammer does a third of the recipient's current HP in damage, or 50% if Extra Damage is used.


Added DiffLines:

* TakingYouWithMe: The Kamikaze, as well as a 30-HP explosion when a hog dies to damage.


Added DiffLines:

* WeaponizedTeleportation: A ColonyDrop variant, where teleporting a low-HP hog way above an enemy will deal significant crushing damage to both.

* EvilLaugh: The Hellish Hand Grenade laughs demonically when it's about to explode.



* FreezeRay: The Freezer is capable of freezing both the landscape [[HarmlessFreezing and other hogs]]. This includes freezing the omnipresent [[SuperDrowningSkills instant-death water]] so it can be walked on.



* KillItWithFire: The Demonic Grenade, Napalm airstrike, Molotov Cocktail and Flamethrower all set significant parts of the landscape on fire, roasting any hog unfortunate enough to be caught inside the inferno. Crates and barrels tend to spread some fire as well.

''[[http://www.hedgewars.org/ Hedgewars]]'' is a {{Freeware}} artillery game in the vein of ''VideoGame/Worms'', where you control a team of hedgehogs against other teams, both armed to the teeth with weapons ranging from a relatively normal bazooka to stuff like grand pianos, drillbomb air raids and demonic grenades. Teams, the hogs themselves, maps and gamemodes can be customized as you see fit, and you can play solo against an AI, a hotseat game, or online.

* BatterUp: Doesn't do much damage, but it does send hogs flying all over the place. Plus, in this game, fall damage is surprisingly deadly, so smashing one straight up can be a valid option.



* GunsAreUseless:...well, in comparison, at least. Still, the Desert Eagle in this game barely qualifies as a peashooter, and almost any other weapon does more damage.

* GunsAreUseless:...FlyingSaucer: Acts kind of like a jetpack, but it can go underwater and take you nearly everywhere with proper control. Keyword being ''proper'', it can get a little wonky.
