Worms Blast is a puzzle-strategy game developed by Team17 for various platforms, including the Nintendo GameCube, released in 2002. The game marks a departure from the traditional artillery strategy game of the Worms series, combining shooting and puzzle elements. Players control a Worm character in a boat, matching colored blocks to clear the playing field and tackle waves of rising water. Various weapons and power-ups add to the strategy, providing a twist on the familiar match-3 gameplay.
