Interesting, and perhaps not surprising considering that Team17 was tasked with the PSP and PS3 Lemmings titles! Indeed, the game looks strongly reminiscent of those, which is no bad thing.

I like the idea of spinning this off from Worms, too.

Harsh to judge the game without playing it, but this is what I gathered from the video (in Lemmings Level Review format for no particular reason http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />):



GOOD: I like the mass assignment of skills (everyone under the cursor gets assigned). Could be useful in Lix. The "formations" are a novel idea - it looks like it places a group of cubers (using the Lix terminology) that you can free later using another skill.

Also SUPER SHEEEP! http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />


OKAY: I know the gore will appeal to some people, but it doesn't do it for me.


BAAA-D (pun intended): Background looks like foreground in some places (like in Lemmings Chronicles, but worse because it's animated). The moving parts mean you can't judge the level by looking; you have to get on the moving platform to find out what triggers it and where it goes. I groaned audibly when they showed the teleporter, and even louder for the gravity flipper. Time limits exist, which probably means there are harmful ones down the line.

So http://store.steampowered.com/app/260330/" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Flockers has been out since September, has anyone tried it? It really does look beautiful, but I wonder if it's worth the price...

[Prob Lem]

I haven't, I must admit. Whilst I'm happy to see that they do support my chosen OS, the requirement for 8GB of space and the use of Steam are both a no-go for me.

I found this game whilst looking at a video games shop and I thought I'd just post here to see if anyone has tried it. AFAIK, It's a A to B puzzle similar to Lemmings, and you guide the sheep through deadly obstacles inside a factory. The obstacles here are much more dangerous than that of Lemmings. There are 60 levels (with another 6 bonus levels), and many ways to customise your sheep. I heard that the PC version comes with a level editor.

So yeah. Anyone tried this game? And if so, is it worth buying?

There was some brief discussion in http://www.lemmingsforums.com/index.php?topic=973" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">this thread. I haven't tried it myself but it looks a bit too chaotic for me. Flashy, moving parts like that bedazzle and confuse me.

Whoops! I didn't notice that someone else posted the same thing. Maybe I can't see threads that start with a lower-case letter? Oh well. I'll close this then.
