I only played Lemmings for a few minutes, on the Amiga port, and I am stumped by level 3, but this music is great. Very C64, very bassy, & noodling faintly reminiscent of the Follin bros.

Cool game and cool graphics/sound, but I had some trouble with the cursor going off the limits, and i had to restart the game :/

And same, stucked at level 3 !

These Goblings are quite cute. I'll admit I have no experience playing Lemmings and it's quite a unique game, so I am probably missing some context on how the game ought to be played. But I had fun assigning jobs and watching the work get done.

It's a cute concept. It's pretty tough to control, I'd have liked a way to select the goblings specifically rather than move the floaty cursor around over constantly-moving goblings. Also a way to see what job a gobling currently had assigned besides cursoring over them might have been nice (like an icon floating over them).

But the music is rad and the concept is solid, kind of like a side-scrolling RTS. Keep it up, good entry!

I realy enjoy the graphics! It's very minimal but very fluid! 

The gameplay are simple and fun, the musix/sfx are cool and combine too much with the game. 

Unfortunely, like the friend in another comment, I became stucked at the 3rt level =(. 

Anyway, congrats for the great game =).

Fun, and the goblings are cute :3.

The controls were a bit frustrating. Sometimes the cursor would slip out of the gridspace I wanted and back into the previous space when I'm trying to chase down a particular gobling.

Hey! I really like the game, but I have to admit I'm stumped on level 3. I collected all the wood, made the ladder, and made 1 of my Goblings stand by the river and be a slacker, so the others don't drown, but by the end I can only build 12/18 houses. Any advice? I'd love to keep playing!

ah shoot I thought I tested it but I did some balance tweaks at the end and must have forgotten to retest it

but I was going to tweak the game and release an update this week with more levels and some bug fixes  ^-^
