The game has been scaled to appeal to single players and no-nonsense quick gameplay bursts.

It features the now classic Worms gameplay and all new single player challenges. and runs the very latest refined iPhone/iPod touch controls and enhancements.

By releasing this edition at a knock down price, Team17 hope that it can introduce the strategy-action title to an even wider audience.

(Note that this edition does not include Multiplayer options nor the full range of weapon/game options present in the full game released in July 2009 and expanded since release.) 

Worms Express is available now.

When enabled, the 3GS edition now features visuals in direct comparison with Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 editions of the title and enhances Worms reputation as one of the strongest mobile games implementations around.

A full music playlist feature has been added for players to utilise their own favourite music tracks from their iPod library, Plus+ online support for leaderboard & friends lists and finally in-game replays for great shots have returned at the request of the playing community.
