Warmux - A convivial mass murder game.

SYNOPSIS

warmux [-h|--help] [-v|--version] [-p|--play] [-i|--internet] [-s|--server] [-c|--client [ip]] [-d|--debug debug_masks]

DESCRIPTION

Have the mascots of your favorite free software battle in the Warmux arena using dynamite, grenades, baseball bat and other weapons ... Exterminate your opponent in a funny 2D toon-style scenery.

Each player (2 minimum, on the same PC) controls the team of his choice (tux, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversaries using more or less casual weapons.

Although a minimum of strategy is required to be victorious, Warmux is pre-eminently a "convivial mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each team attempts to produce maximum damage to their opponents.
