About:
Liquid War is a truly original multiplayer wargame. You control an army formed with thousands of pixels (fighters) which look like liquid and try to eat your opponent. You can play against a primitive NPC/AI or up to 5 other human players. Network play is available.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
A network bug which caused clients to desynchronize has been fixed, and a checksum system has been implemented in order to detect this kind of bug easily in the future. Password support has been added, along with a "video capture" mode. Documentation should be up to date now.

[»] Amazing

This may be one of the best/oddest games I've ever played. It is also one of the best put-together apps I've seen for Linux. The game is great, the documentation is good and the author has links to all required libraries on his site.

I give Liquid Wars two thumbs up!

[»] Best game I've seen in years

My whole family plays this game together. That includes girls aged 5 and 8. It's simple enough for them, yet complex enough to keep my wife and I at loggerheads for hours.

All Windows issues have disappeared; we played for hours on two boxes, redefining keys, adding and subtracting computer players, and having a blast. Very stable.

The family that plays together, stays together. Amazing game.

[»] fun and original

It's very cool to find a strategy game that doesn't have complicated rules, doesn't take all day to play, and doesn't make you go blind looking at tiny icons on a map.

I was unable to get the FreeBSD version working -- the author was very responsive, and tried to help, but I think there's a problem with the Allegro library on FreeBSD 4.8. Finally got a chance to play it on my brother in law's Windoze machine, and it all went very smoothly.
