Team17 has revealed these exclusive pictures of their classic invertebrate artillery game, Worms, playing on an iPhone. The classic version of Worms first released in 1995 and now they are bringing their original version to the iPhone.  Yeah, it’s a logical step since iPhone has became a popular gaming platform.

…the iPhone title uses a 2D environment in which the idea is to destroy your opponent’s team of militant worms.  Players take it in turns to launch various weapons, including exploding sheep, with the winner of each round either the first to wipe their rivals out, or the person with the most health points left when the time runs out.

On the iPhone and iPod touch, the touchscreen is used for aiming and scrolling, with pinch-zooming seemingly supported for navigation around the 2D game area.  We’re hoping there are both local and remote two-player modes, where you can either play against friends by passing the iPhone between you, or over an internet connection.

Judging by these screenshots, seems Worms for iPhone and iPod touch will be available on the App Store very soon.
