Description:
The goal: Pile all enemy worms and kill them!

Teams: 1 your team (1 worm) and 4 enemy teams (8 worms per team).

Rules:
1) If enemy team starts, skip a turn.
2) You have only 1 turn to pile all worms and to use Kamikaze. The lowest time wins.
3) If you lose control, game is over. So be careful when piling and use a chute of course.

Tips: no tips, find an optimal way of knocking worms by yourself ;)

Have fun!

P.S. Specify your turn time when submitting a replay.

Mablak's entrance music sounds in the distance...

Sounds like a Terraria boss incoming.

Eater of Worlds has awoken! :D

Here is a TA of the challenge. This is not done by BRSolver; I did all the jumps manually, so it's likely possible to shave off a little time from this. The result is a 105.56 s run. It's amazing how much time our tiny little pauses add up to cumulatively.

(BRSolver is incapable of not doing flipwalking, so a BRSolver run wouldn't be directly comparable with unassisted runs.)

is skipwalking allowed? if so, could the TAS be improved by using that?

With 5 minutes to spare, found one extra optimisation and got it implemented as part of an imperfect but good run.

Now I pray.

If I'm not mistaken Flipwalking is faster than Skipwalking, Deadcode was talking about an automatic flipwalking program (that was not used) if I understood what he wrote.

It is not an automatic flipwalking program. It is a Battle Race brute-force solver that tries all possible paths from the start, de-duplicating when a path is found that leads to a subpixel coordinate that was already covered by a faster path. The first full path that reaches the finish is the fastest, which it then emits as its solution.

Flipwalking is not explicitly encoded anywhere in the program. The fact that it is used is an emergent property, and this was in fact how flipwalking was discovered.

Wow, machine learning evolution of worms. Will we have facilitated flipwalking as scheme option one day?
