Blocks: - The player does not add blocks to the game area as in puzzle bobble, in Worms Blast they blow things up which is much more fun and change the colours of the blocks depending on the colour of your bazooka.

Control: - In games like puzzle bobble you only have control of the angle of fire and you can't move. In Worms Blast you have control of where you go, the angle of fire, what you fire and how hard the shot is, giving the player much more freedom.

Water: - The whole game is played on water and each character can move around on the water on their boats that each react differently. For example the Super Sheep has an inflatable banana for a boat, which moves very fast but doesn't take much to sink, which brings me to the next point.

Direct confrontation: - In most other games like this the players get to indirectly send things over the their opponent. In Worms Blast the divider opens up a window from time to time allowing players to unleash their arsenal directly on their opponent.

Crates: -There are the crates to pick up from within the blocks that contain loads of weird and wacky weapons and utilities to do things such as send sea monsters over to kill your opponent, change their fish into piranhas, use underwater torpedoes, set off a random weather effect such as fog or lightning or positive effects such as the health buoy that tops your boats energy up.

Stars: - Then there are the stars in the blocks that affect the water level, collect a star and your water level goes down, leaving more room for the player to get their shots off.

Letters: - Shoot enough blocks in a combo and collect all the goodies from within to light up different letters in the BLAST display. Spell out the whole word BLAST and set off the manic blasting frenzy that is BLAST MODE.

Multiplayer Modes: - There are 8 multiplayer game modes that range from the beating the living daylights out of each other fight mode to the race against time tide trial. Be the first to collect 5 stars in the star collection game and be vewwy careful when playing Don't drop em, no blocks are allowed to fall into the water. The multiplayer modes are so varied and diverse, there is something for everyone and many new ways of humiliating your friends.

Single Player: - The single player game is massive which unlike other puzzle games has loads of variety ranging from killing a dragon, destroying targets, battling against the clock and avoiding falling land. From the single player puzzle game players can unlock secret characters and tournament game modes where the player can try to beat our high scores.
