We had something like that a long while back, it was never really
finished and got ripped out in the meantime:

But we could reimplement with little trouble (splitscreen that is,
network support would get trickier).

The issue however is that basic multiplayer isn't all that
interesting, because it is to chaotic, everybody just tries to kill of
the other and the end result is pretty much random. It might be
possible to enhance it by new actions or other tweaks to basic
gameplay (make it round-based, more worms like, etc.). I am open to
suggestions.
