Each of you will still control his or her own hedgehogs but they'll win or lose together. - Some weapons might do only low damage but they can be a lot more devastating in the right situation. Try to use the Desert Eagle to knock multiple hedgehogs into the water. - If you're unsure what to do and don't want to waste ammo, skip one round. But don't let too much time pass as there will be Sudden Death! - Want to save ropes? Release the rope in mid air and then shoot again. As long as you don't touch the ground or miss a shot you'll reuse your rope without wasting ammo! - If you'd like to keep others from using your preferred nickname on the official server, register an account at http://www.hedgewars.org/. - You're bored of default gameplay?

Please ask the responsible person instead! - Hedgewars can be perfect for short games during breaks. Just ensure you don't add too many hedgehogs or use an huge map. Reducing time and health might help as well. - No hedgehogs were harmed in making this game. - There are three different jumps available. Tap [high jump] twice to do a very high/backwards jump. - Afraid of falling off a cliff? Hold down [precise] to turn [left] or [right] without actually moving. - Some weapons require special strategies or just lots of training, so don't give up on a particular tool if you miss an enemy once. - Most weapons won't work once they touch the water. The Homing Bee as well as the Cake are exceptions to this. - The Old Limbuger only causes a small explosion. However the wind affected smelly cloud can poison lots of hogs at once. - The Piano Strike is the most damaging air strike. You'll lose the hedgehog performing it, so there's a huge downside as well. - The Homing Bee can be tricky to use. Its turn radius depends on its velocity, so try to not use full power. - Sticky Mines are a perfect tool to create small chain reactions knocking enemy hedgehogs into dire situations ... or water. - The Hammer is most effective when used on bridges or girders. Hit hogs will just break through the ground. - If you're stuck behind an enemy hedgehog, use the Hammer to free yourself without getting damaged by an explosion. - The Cake's maximum walking distance depends on the ground it has to pass. Use [attack] to detonate it early. - The Flame Thrower is a weapon but it can be used for tunnel digging as well. - Use the Molotov or Flame Thrower to temporary keep hedgehogs from passing terrain such as tunnels or platforms. - Want to know who's behind the game?
