WARMUX(6)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, so Warmux — it's a convivial mass murder game. that's literally the official tagline and yes we're keeping it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

warmux [-h|--help] [-v|--version] [-p|--play] [-i|--internet]
[-s|--server] [-c|--client [ip]] [-d|--debug debug_masks]

like, that's the whole vibe check right there 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so picture this: the mascots of your favorite free software are throwing hands in the Warmux arena. dynamite? yes. grenades? yes. baseball bat? yes bestie. and, like, other weapons too. your whole job is to exterminate your opponent in a funny 2D toon-style scenery 🎀

every player — and ngl you need 2 minimum, all on the same PC — controls the team of his choice (tux, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversaries using more or less casual weapons. the roster is iconic, I don't make the rules.

and yes, a minimum of strategy is required to be victorious, but Warmux is pre-eminently a "convivial mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each team attempts to produce maximum damage to their opponents. turn-based chaos, it's giving main character energy fr fr 🔥
