Description
Lead a team of ruthless hedgehogs with attitude in absurd battles to the death with a large armory of silly weapons. You play in a random or drawn 2D landscape which you can completely blow up.
Choose one of dozens of weapons to destroy your enemies: Try the good old bazookas and grenades, attack with your trusty shotgun, send a homing bee flying to your target, or cause a lot of damage with hellish hand-grenades, watermelon bombs , ball cannons and many other weapons. Use utilities like ropes and flying saucers to reach new terrain. Various extras, such as collectible crates, proximity mines and explosive barrels spice up the gameplay.
There's a very large amount of customization options: Give your hogs unique names and hats or change their voice or gravestone. Change the game rules to your liking (why not turning all hedgehogs into vampires?) or play one of various game modes which completely change the gameplay. We also have extensive documentation explaining how to add your own creations, like maps, landscapes, hats, other graphics, etc.
There are two campaigns and various singleplayer missions, including a simple training to help you get started. You can play in hot-seat mode, against the machine or online.

Hedgewars is a very community-driven project. It has a simple add-on system to help you distribute custom graphics, maps, missions, silly hedgehog voices and the like. Players like to post their creations in the forums and some of the best contributions became an official part of Hedgewars later on.
We generally like to have artists to improve the graphics. Voice actors can create silly hedgehog voices.
If you like to help us, we have a list of art requests.
For coders, we have a to-do list.
