Pétanque is a wormy adaptation scheme of the boules sport type named Pétanque. The gameplay is similar to Darts scheme.

Rules

  • Place your worms in the BOXES (Worm 1 - area #1, Worm 2 - area #2,...).
  • Using the rope and the pneumatic drill, try to get as near the JACK as possible (when you are on rope, choose the pneumatic drill, swing, touch the thick wall and press enter -> fly).
  • Never press the space when you are drilling.
  • After 5 turns, count your points (the worm which is nearest to the JACK acquires the count of points accorded to the number of players in the game and the worm which is furthest the JACK acquires 1 point).
  • The player with the maximum of the points wins.

Note:

  • You can select a playing worm (it's because of the fact, that the player playing earlier may be in an advantage).
  • When you do a cowish turn (you don't fly from the thick wall, don't use the pneumatic drill or press the space while drilling), you acquire the least of the points (1 point).

History

The original map release dates 7th August 2009 on WMDB. The map along with the scheme was uploaded by admi.

Also, a scheme similar to this one called Maximum Fly by LOLLKILLERreboot was released on 3rd May 2008. A scheme called Drill Golf, a bit different with elements from Golf scheme, was also released by xDNCxGhost64x on 3rd December 2008 (one day after Drill Flyer - see maps). Before Drill Golf, a similar scheme called Rope Golf was released on 5th January 2008 on WMDB by xSQDxshawn. Other schemes sharing similar scoring concepts such as Beef Race already existed too.
