Really interesting and simple, kind of reminds me of those computer logic games. Could probably do a lot with a custom level maker and some more logic gates/flags.

I really liked the lemmings concept , wish it were longer

We had a lot of fun testing your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive if you missed it or wish to check again:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoMEaPCVoCU&t=7815s

Great successor to lemings! Nice art and fitting story.

Submitted

Nice concept, and well executed! I had fun playing the game and the puzzles were well designed! I love that you made them so that they teach you along the way! I would only recommend that you added the ability to speed up time. Also it would be nice if the restart button reset only the comrades and not the flags. Overall very good game, nicely done!

Submitted

I really got sucked into this game and ended up completing it. The last level gave me some trouble, but it was satisfying to figure it out (as with all other levels really). It's clear you put a lot of thought into the level design. I'd definitely be interested in seeing you develop this further (although as others have said, a speed-up button would really enhance the experience). Solid game, awesome job!

Submitted

What a neat game. Can definitely see this becoming a hit game once developed further. A speed up button would be great!

Submitted

As a huge fan of Lemmings, good job on fitting those mechanics into the theme.

Submitted

I love the simple graphics and the fitting music! The mechanic was explained very well and the gameplay itself was definitely fun :D The only thing that could make it better, I think, would be an option to speed things up to check if the flags are placed right.

Submitted

I love the music, it fits very well. This definitely looks like it's heavily inspired by Lemmings, and one critical thing that Lemmings has that this game doesn't is a fast forward button. I absolutely love the puzzles you set up, but man- these guys seem to move so slow after all the right flags are placed. There's a lot of waiting that I wish could be skipped. Overall it plays very well, and I like the idea with placing flags. Cool game!

Submitted

the only thing really missing is a speed-up button, otherwise well done!

Submitted

So fun :) 
In some aspects, it´s even better than Lemmings. You also nailed the mood. 

Submitted

There's so much character in those little pixel animations. I love the way they wave arms as they fly through the air.

I got stuck on a level because I couldn't get a switch to stay on with the flags and timing their progress through the gates was pretty difficult.

Submitted

Good puzzle, but was a little slow.  otherwise it was really cool, i would play this normally if there were more modifiers and it was a bit faster, I played until the sacrifice level.

Submitted

Great puzzles but a bit slow for my taste. Unfortunately, couldn't fully finish it as went back to menu around level 5 and there was no level select. I really liked the soundtrack, did you compose it yourself? Overall, very good entry and great job for 48 hours of work!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree on speed. A fast forward button would be my top priority i I had just a little longer to work.

And glad you liked the music! I did indeed do it, along with what SFX there are, myself. Like to do as much of it myself as possible, though I do sometimes have to use other SFX.

Submitted

Fast forward is a great idea, it would make it a lot more dynamic!

Wow, extra respect for the sound. The soundtrack is indeed amazing, given that it was composed in such a short amount of time.

Developer

Wow thank you! That means a lot :)

Submitted

This was fun. Lemmings clone was unexpected. I like how you incorporated mutation into that formula. Good job.

Submitted

Overall a very nice game! I think the one main thing I would add to make it a lot more fun though would be a speed-up button as others have mentioned.

Submitted

The game was a lot of fun but a lot of times i would have wished a button to speed up time, because i was just watching my lemmings walking. Overall good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!  Absolutely agree on the speedup button. Actually had the artwork and UI for it done, but was unfortunately about 20 minutes shy on development time to get it implemented and tested before the deadline.

Submitted

I like it a lot! The gameplay is pretty fun, good job!

Submitted

What a pleasure to see a Lemmings game. It was unexpected. I like the aesthetic. Perhaps entrance and exit looks too similar, and some more sound effect will be nice. Though that's a good job for only 48h. Well done.

Submitted

Very cool! How many levels are there? I only made it past the tutorials and level 1.

Developer

Thanks for checking it out! Only have a few levels  past the tutorial levels so you got a good ways through the way.
